I'm simply stating that he has recently said they are 'our friends', when they have a horrendous human rights record. I have no love for him or any other prime minister talking about them that way. They're 'our friends' because it's in our interests. Our country hasn't and doesn't care about the way the country treats its people. Yes that troubles me. Or rather, how we justify our actions across the region.

Also, please let me know how your sense of humour transplant goes.

I think its fair to say that the UK has never cared about how other countries treat their populations. Sometimes the UKs interests coincide with attacking a nation who does mis-treat its population but this is never the cause of the attack.

You're simply trying to have dig at Cameron when our relationship with them pre-dates him by 90 odd years.

And you're about as funny as getting leprosy would be.

We've been trading with them for 100 years you pillock.

No, as A) it's not a dig, it's a guess and B) I doubt you followed it up with some nonsense about his alleged past.

You also didn't make a joke, you might have thought you did but that story's been around a while now and any jokes about it have been long done, some with actual comedic value.

What the Saudi's do in Yemen has f*** all to do with us, as does their own laws. Or maybe you'd like them to tell us what we can do in our country?

You rose to it when you edited your first post. In a failed attempt to be funny.

On that account, I take it you're against every single intervention of ours in the middle east then? If so I'm pleased to hear it and it somewhat makes up for the fact that you've completely and unnecessarily lost your rag over a silly, meaningless joke. I joked about Ed and his bacon sandwich too. How terrible of me not to take politicians seriously.
