May wants to strengthen ties with Saudi

In other words she'll be nice to them, they'll buy their weapons from us and maybe not encourage Moslem nutters to attack the UK.

Don't they already fund most of the wrong uns?

Wahhabism don't travel well.

tbf what is the alternative? Invade them and install Democracy?

That didn't seem to go too well last time, or the time before that, or the time before that, or the time before that... etc...

They are the only credible counterbalance in the region to Iran.

Tell you what, why don't we invade Iran and when that's done we can go and invade Saudi, then Pakistan, then Egypt, the... erm... Russia and China and then we can turn the whole world into one nice big happy Democracy...

... a great big melting pot with coffee coloured people by the score. 

the only ties needed are cable ties around their filthy necks

So the West fights IS terrorism while our governments cosy up to the people who fund em, funny old world.

i blame larry of arabia for all this

boris dont his best to get sacked as well

Wonderful film donny, Boris is very amusing if nowt else and has exposed a little hypocrisy, which is good.

US and UK have been brown-nosing the Saudis for years. Our thanks? 9/11 and ISIS.

You do realize that the UK has attacked more Muslim countries than the muslim countries or muslims have invaded the UK? Which muslim nutters do you want the Saudis to not encourage? The refugees?

Only yesterday I was reading that UK has sold the Saudis $5.2bn worth of weapons since 2010. Boris was stupid to talk like that to a buyer. Really stupid.

Thats small fry. US has done $110BILLION since Obama took office

Saudi Arabia belongs in the dark ages. Heaven forbid anyone says anything negative about them that may jeopardise them buying weopons

What exactly have Iran done recently other than not do what the West says and be a different religion from the rest of the wests mates in the region?

bin laden wanted saudi rulers out

seems to be a connection to all our friendship

What exactly have Iran done recently

Sell oil to China

small fry, yes. But still a buyer.

Even if they belonged to the dinosaur age, fact is they are still big friends with our politicians in Europe. Money talks.

Can't be many countries/organisations that we haven't supplied with arms.

Sell oil to China.
