These 2 are specific on the killing of the children but there is a ton of stuff condemning the UK Govt's role in the war. Strangely nothing from the BBC.

2 articles that will have the square root of fuck all effect on this or any Government in charge of our country.

Other than appeasing your need to attack our Tory government for anything and everything, what effect would the BBC attacking them have in your opinion?

Her and her government could condem attacks on school buses and hospitals and if wanted suggest sanctions on the Saudis but then as UAE and others are also involved so they would also have to be included.

The government could award contracts to BAe and others and encourage a shift from building war machines to other aspects of their expertese like trains for the franchises and make any rail franchise awarded dependamt on using british made equiptment for example.

The government could stop the sanctionioning of the sales of war machines to states with a dodgy record on human rights.

Or course it is political as the government of the day has an international duty to condem masacaring children wherever.

So May can be dragged into the thread as PM, but I agree mentioning jezza opened it up to a left v right bun fight so best to just stop the party political side and critisize the government not for who they but what they are not doing

Exactly, there's every right to bring our goverment into this conversation.

Started to reply to you but I really can't be arsed.

But I will say this - if the BBC was doing their job properly the UK public would be better informed on a whole host of topics and any Govt would need to be mindful of it's actions coming back to haunt them come election time. As things stand the BBC are little more than the propaganda arm of the Govt

I'm putting you on ignore now as your posts are ignorant and stupid.

Seems you can't put a mod on ignore - shame

[Bilboblue]

He has condemned the IRA for their bombings.
Open a thread on that issue if you want rather than indulging in whataboutery.
This thread is about the bombing in Yemen.

Which I also wrote about, idiot.

We really could black list Saudi Arabia as a destination for British made arms and weapons.

Not going to happen for geopolitical reasons as well as financial.

That's alright then.
Shame about the dead children.

 

[Len Rum]

WTF has May or any other UK politician got to do with someone dropping a bomb and killing innocent kids?

2?

I'll tell you WTF she has to do with it - she cosies up to them, she refuses to condemn them, she sells arms to them.
You sir are Mr Naivety personified.

You did but you then you demeaned your 'writing' about the deaths of children with your whataboutery, nob.

Yet here you are using this thread to bemoan a media campaign against Jezza as well as score points.

Whataboutery len?

BTW i've made points about this thread not being made a political point scoring fest and that the focus should be on the horrific killings of innocent children so spare me the fucking lecture as you tried above by selectively quoting to make me look a ****.

You far left fucking nutters are a real piece of work aren't you?
