UK Ignores Barbaric Death & Torture To Become Saudi Arabia's Largest Arms Supplier
Submitted by Claire Bernish via TheAntiMedia.org,
While increasing cries from the West demand an end to all association with Saudi Arabia, the U.K. government described lucrative public contracts with the notorious human rights abuser as a “priority market.”
Government departments have been actively — even aggressively — steering U.K. businesses into bidding for contracts with the Saudis in the health, justice, defense, and security sectors, according to documents seen by the Observer.
“It’s becoming increasingly clear that ministers are bent on ever-closer ties with the world’s most notorious human rights abusers,” said Maya Foa, who directs the death penalty team at Reprieve. “Ministers must urgently come clean about the true extent of our agreements with Saudi Arabia and other repressive regimes.”
As three young Saudis, Ali Mohammad al-Nimr, Abdullah al-Zaher, and Dawoud al-Marhoon face beheading and crucifixion — and another blogger, Raif Badawi, essentially receives a drawn-out death sentence of 1,000 lashes — the U.S. and U.K. governments have been barraged with criticism for continuing political relations. Perhaps inflaming the issue more, according to the Guardian, several of the “most important Saudi contracts” fell under the Overseas Security and Justice Assistance Policy (OSJA) — meant to establish U.K.’s security and justice dealings as “consistent with a foreign policy based on British values, including human rights.”
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn penned an openly critical letter to Prime Minister David Cameron in which he pled for an independent review of the OSJA process:
“By operating under a veil of secrecy, we risk making the OSJA process appear to be little more than a rubber-stamping exercise, enabling the U.K. to be complicit in gross human rights abuses,” he wrote.
But the U.K. has increased dealings with the kingdom, ignoring the pleas.
In fact, the U.K. is now Saudi Arabia’s largest arms dealer — supplying 36% of its imports. According to the Guardian,
“U.K. business[es] want to capitalize on the fragile situation in the Middle East. A 2013 document, written by an official at U.K. Trade and Investment, the body charged with promoting business interests, outlines how the region’s ‘global policing and security market has ballooned.’ Freedom of Information requests show that the U.K. Trade and Investment Defense and Security Organization (UKTI) is courting the Saudis and that civil servants met Saudi military delegations at the U.K.’s Security and Policing arms fair this year and last summer at the Farnborough airshow. Civil servants were also due to meet Saudi representatives at the major arms expo in London’s Docklands last month, just as the regime upheld a ruling that al-Nimr was to be executed and his body crucified and left in public view for three days.”
Many are struggling to understand why the U.K. would seek to supply arms to the same country from which it withdrew a £5.7 million (nearly $8.8 million) prison contract less than a week ago — reportedly due to yet another impending lashing: this time of 74-year-old Karl Andree for transporting homemade wine in his vehicle.
“The Saudi regime has an appalling human rights record,” said Andrew Smith of the Campaign Against Arms Trade, “yet it remains the world’s largest buyer of U.K. weapons. How many more people will be tortured and killed before the U.K. government finally says enough is enough?”
Saudi Arabia executed at least 134 people so far in 2015, according to a report from Amnesty International. As Smith noted:
“It seems ironic for the U.K. to be working on healthcare with the Saudi regime at the same time as selling them the means to suppress and kill their own people.”

Ah that explains the UN human rights commision farce.
Squid pro quo
Well Cameroon and his ilk like to butt-bone little boys, too!
Kinda share some values with the muzzies, so what's the surprise?
Sad reality is that if the UK stops supplying the Saudis - in comes someone else.
The Frenchies have 2 really nice carriers available.
They're called The Cloyd and The Gidney
(WW The Putz* Do?)
* He coulda won the Vietnam War all by his lonesome if they'd just given him one handful of rice and a battery powered personal fan
This is really a crime.. in both countries.
Sally Man and Cameroon both need to be eviscerated, drawn and quartered in the Tower of London and then their remains spread out to be fed to wild swine.
The swine thing has special significance to both of them.

But the Saudi Royal Family would have to find "someone else" who could fill their personal bank accounts with as much money as the British taxpayers have... Davey Pig Fucker is just continuing the Al-Yamamah "tradition"...
The world should adopt the US 2nd Amendment and have all arms confiscated.
PM Cameron does not consider it extremism to chop people heads off in Saudi Arabia for being apostates nor to supply air drops of arms to ISIS, who are also headchoppers. If Hitler were around, Cameron would sell him people sized gas ovens. As would Obama.
LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister David Cameron unveiled a new strategy on Monday to combat extremism, saying the battle was "perhaps the "defining one of this century", but his proposals were condemned by Muslims as demonizing their communities and set to fail.
The Counter-Extremism Strategy has been promised by Cameron's government for months, designed primarily to counter the ideology promoted by Islamic State militants, al Qaeda and other Islamists which the authorities say can lead young Britons onto a path of violence.
He is walking in Blair's shoes and he hopes to be as successful when he bails the PM gig.
There's money to be made. It's that simple.
They'll probably all have private printing machines in their basement.
They don't give a fuck about "money".
British elite and Saudi ape elite are quite similar deep down (inside anus of young boys).
Cameron is a tool. Worst British PM ever (although Tony Blair is a close 2nd). Obozo and the pig fucker see eye to eye.
Just because the Right Honourable Prime Minister David Cameron was photographed having sexual relations with a dead pig it should in no way disqualify him from leading the greater British pig-fucker nation nor should it render him a target of ridicule by terrorists such as yourself.
The British justice system has determined that pig was fucked legally or it would have already investigated the matter.
Consensual Porking
There has always been a lot of pig-fuckery going on by our masters... that's why eating pork is prohibited for those in the ruling class.
Anyway in David's defence it's not like he stuck his head up a turkey's ass like Mr. Bean...

Pig fucking is acceptable, as long as members of your Tribe don't eat the meat.
That's right Claire. Drive those evil Saudis into Russia's arms. Then you'll get the New World Order all lefties are looking for: a boot stamping on your face endlessly.
The acompanying picture is a bit short on blood, I think.
It should be like Carrie.
'greed, except that, IMO, Carrie's theme was a justified rage that followed the embarrassment of a girl having her first bloody period publicly, while this story is about a bloody asshole unjustly shitting all over the values of the public that elected it, period.
Not to say that the UK is the only place currently harbouring such unscrupulous, grotesque mockeries of decency...

In the 1830s Cameron's first cousin six times removed was compensated with £4,101 for 202 slaves when they were liberated by Parliament.[19] Cameron's paternal forebears also have a long history in finance. His father Ian was senior partner of the stockbrokers Panmure Gordon & Co., in which firm partnerships had long been held by Cameron's ancestors, including David's grandfather and great-grandfather,and was a Director of estate agent John D. Wood. David Cameron's great-great-grandfather Emile Levita was a German Jewish financier and a direct descendant of Renaissance scholar Elia Levita, the author of Bovo-Bukh, the first secular work ever published in Yiddish. Emile Levita obtained British citizenship in 1871 and was the director of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China which became Standard Chartered Bank in 1969.[18] Through Levita, Cameron is a descendent of the Levites, who themselves claim to be descended from Moses.[18] His wife, Cameron's great-great-grandmother, was a descendant of the wealthy Danish Jewish Rée family on her father's side

The UK... Rehypothecating arms again...
Rus's boo Iran just forces teh gheys to mutilate themselves in sex reassignment surgery.
That is if they just don't slaughter them straightaway after a kangaroo court.
If its not the UK selling bombs to despots it would be China, or US. Disgusting really.
There's no way humanly possible for Saudi Arabia to be responsible for barbaric death and torture. They're heading The U.N. Human Rights Panel.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go in the other room and vomit.
THe UN is an antiquated myopic idea of turn of the century progtards. It needs to go, say like the theater scene from Inglorious Basterds.
To be fair, the UK us supplying Saudi Arabia weapons knowing the Saudis are so incompetent, the worst that will happen is they'll injure or kill the user. So the UK is saving lives by selling weapons to those who can's use them!

the uk will be forced to open their door a little wider for refugees.
In today's world, human rights is all about rhetoric and nothing about human rights ...
... It is nice that country governments, such as the UK's, are making it clear what side of the good/evil dialectic they serve.
But then again, the UK government has always been on the same side.
Saudi Arabia is the main creator and exporter of barbaric Islamic ideology and terrorism. The US allies Saudi Arabia and Israel are champions in human rights abuses, unfortunately Israel is kind of in that category too. The sooner the EU and the world realize that the better for all.
If that kingdom/S.A. ruled by Satan falls, the world will see much less terrorism, and things will turn to normalcy.
You can't get much sleazier than the the scum in Whitehall.
It's no wonder the Scots want out - they can't stand the sickening stench.
Ya Ya
