Yep. Saudi nationals have been requested to leave Lebanon immediately.

No doubt due to Hezbollah. Aren't they friends of Jeremy Corbyn?

Cliff Publish time 26-11-2019 02:40:57

Yes. And while in opposition Jeremy will probably sit on the fence and make platitudes about all party's holding meaningful talks.
If (God forbid) he ever became PM, he would have to a U turn and get in line with the West.
We have seen him do this before (Brexit?) so he is well practised at itdata:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7.

I wonder if the said weapons below get turned on us, or my armed forces in any way we can ask for them all back at no cost to us the UK tax payer.

WORLD WAR 3 will be fought 'with British weapons' as UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia soar

Excellent news for British jobs and exports then.

I'm astonished that any self respecting socialist would want to put people out of work by banning arms sales to Saudi. Especially as the French and the Russians would just pick up the business instead.

Why do you wonder that? We are supporting the Saudi's, and not the Iranians. We supply experienced engineers from the UK to assist in the operation and maintenance of their aircraft's and weapons. The Americans are doing the same.

Exactly, why should we care who our weapons kill, as long as it's not us.

Jezza99 Publish time 26-11-2019 02:40:58

That is what they are designed to do. Or would you prefer that British workers lost their jobs, and people were killed by French or Russian weapons instead?

Obviously it would be preferable that people weren't killed at all. However, its been a long time since any kind of peace in the middle east.

Enki Publish time 26-11-2019 02:40:59

Mmm, why do I wonder that, maybe its because British interventions and support in the Middle East have not been successful, ever!
