Sounds like Turkey are going to get a pile of cash from the Saudis, the Yanks are going to keep selling billions of dollars worth of kit and some Saudi SSL’s are going to get shot. Open and transparent government in action and what you have to do when you’re desperate for trade or leverage. I can’t imagine a U.K. government being party to such a thing!!

Realpolitik means that principles take a distant third place after strategic alliances and trade.
Unavoidable.
 
Apparently, the Turks have sent the tapes of the murder to the governments of the US, UK and Canada and they have verified their authenticity.
The yanks probably got them a while ago which might explain why Trump decided to stop parroting the Saudis explanations as believable and now calls it a horrific cover up.
 
As we all knew its yesterdays chip wrappers already.

They have got away with it.

Did you exect anything other than that ? If we look at how the West interfered in Syria and the resulting bloodbath there was no way this would n't be swept under the carpet. International politics and the need to keep Middle east countries on 'our' side will always win over the rule of law and human rights.
