Please watch through and share.
Remember whose close partner Saudi Arabia, the perpetrator of these mass war-crimes, is; remember who profiteers from the weapons sold to Saudi, yet who claims the ‘moral highground’ and is awarded it in spades by our corrupt media. Please share.
Letter to my local MP, fwiw.
Open Email to S Wollaston: You Still Support Uk Arming Saudi Despite Yemen Catastrophe?
Dear Sarah Wollaston,
In the hustings at Dartington Hall in May 2016 you defended the UK government arming Saudi Arabia (1hr 31m https://youtu.be/acFdIb2AAQY).
This is despite Saudi being the ideological source of the perversion of Islam, and involved in the arming and funding, that drives extremist jihadi terrorists in Syria, the region and worldwide, including 9/11 of course.
Your support for arming Saudi also flew in the face of what the Red Cross describes as “the biggest humanitarian disaster on the planet” in the hush-hushed Saudi war on the people of Yemen, that the UK is directly complicit in fuelling.
Prime Minister Theresa May’s husband Philip’s company profits greatly from those arms sales, as you must be fully aware and presumably happy with, and profitted greatly from the recent missiles launched on Syria on the most dodgy evidence, being a major BAE and Lockheed Martin shareholder. https://www.globalresearch.ca/disgusting-conflict-of-interest-theresa-mays-husbands-investment-firm-made-a-financial-killing-from-the-bombing-of-syria/5636632
This is a massive but disgustingly under-reported and buried from public knowledge personal conflict of interest that I would have raised in that hustings had I known then.
Briefly on those Syria strikes:
1) What are your thoughts on the fingers-in-the-ears approach taken by UK, France and U.S. diplomats, politicians and media ignoring the 17 witnesses – mostly doctors and patients who appeared in the crucial piece of film – who spoke at the OPCW in The Hague and called out the Al-Qaeda linked White Helmets video as a fake? https://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2018-04-28/the-west-closes-its-ears-to-douma-testimony/
2) And as a doctor, if anyone were to take the UK government at their word, wouldn’t the alleged aim of “destroying chemical weapons stores” have caused hundreds if not thousands of casualties if there had actually been any there?
Returning to the main point of this email, please allow your heart 5 minutes for this incredibly beautiful and sad song and video about Yemen.

And then please tell me again in your response how, despite what you watch, hear and read you still support the UK, including of course the Mays of Downing Street, continuing to profiteer from arms sales to Saudi Arabia that are directly responsible for so much killing, maiming, starvation, disease, pain and emotional anguish.
