Quote Stuk at 13 Oct 2015 7.30pm I didn't miss it. We were asked to leave it at that. Actually I said 'we'll leave it at that' previous to someone rightfully said let's stop arguing which I was and still am in argeement with despite you piping up about my age . I'll repost my comment for others to take a view on as it's been pushed down now by all of this guff. Edited by oldcodger (13 Oct 2015 7.42pm)

Quote Stuk at 13 Oct 2015 5.42pm Quote oldcodger at 13 Oct 2015 5.13pm Quote Stuk at 13 Oct 2015 5.07pm 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. In another thread about an hour ago, I said I give Corbyn two years, I suppose that was a 'dig' at him too. I made a joke at Cameron's expense because he chose to call them 'our friends', about the same day as the Saudis dropped more bombs killing civilians in Yemen and how the government treat their own people - women especially. Keep the insults coming, you've clearly had a bad day and I won't be rising to it. Edited by oldcodger (13 Oct 2015 5.16pm) 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?** Back to this statement, it's one thing deciding that innocent people being killed is nothing to do with us, but when we involve ourselves in 'you scratch my back' deals to get this country onto the UN Human Rights Council ( [Link] ) and they then use that position to halt a UN Inquiry into the killing of thousands of Yemen civilians, ( [Link] ) we've already made it our business. Unfortunately we've made it our business to make it easier for them. I just view it as a sad state of affairs, that's all

sigh back on topic.. From what i've been reading the guy is definitely off the hook now in terms of the flogging now. It looks like Dave worked his magic. Brits abroad do tend to get off lightly don't they. You'd think we'd learn our lesson really .

I wonder what discount we gave them on a Hawk Jet or a complete set of Waterboarding for Beginners DVD's to get him off.. I hate the f***ing Saudi's and the fact oil money and their ruling elites relationship with ours gives them some kind of veneer of respectability - biggest and most backward rogue state in the world after North Korea and pakistan...
