Are you now agreeing that the Saudi regime is dodgy and we should avoid them? I'll happily agree.
Maybe you think they weren't when blowing up children but do when fiddling some football. You can make it all clear although we both know you won't.
I know the Green Party is the refuge of simpletons who don’t understand the big bad world of shades of grey, but in the real world you can’t just be friends with nice people, you have to smile and play nice with the less bad regimes. So the Saudis are very much not stand up guys, but geopolitically they are very important.
Hopefully sometime soon the Persians will sort themselves out and then we can be less nice to the Arabs.
