A Crown Prince in the UK Saudi Crown Prince visit to the UK is hailed as a partnership between the two countries in "fighting terrorism". The state terrorism of the Saudi, the US, the UK, and other states over the last 50 years?  Hang on. There is $100 billion of deals on the table during this visit.  "Human rights"? Bin Slaman is making "a progress in granting Saudi women some rights". In the meantime,  UK should sell more weapons to the Saudis to kill more Yemeni women and children, with a sanction by the High Court. We are "civilised" and "democratic", the British consumers and subjects say. For that reason we exercise pur democratic rights and feeedoms in not questioning a visit of an autocratic (or an Egyptian dictator). Business as usual.
