After last night's second part of House of Saud: A Family at War, remember that the Conservative Party fought the last General Election on a manifesto commitment to abolish the Serious Fraud Office. As the next couple of weeks unfold, you will no longer need to go to Riyadh in order to see why.
Again I say that BAE Systems ought to be renationalised as the monopoly supplier to the British Armed Forces and to nobody else, with a total ban on the sale of arms abroad, and with a huge programme of diversification in order to maintain industrial skills.
There is nothing "bleeding heart" about any of this. Once the arms are out there, then we never know where they are going to end up, thence to be turned against us. Or, in the case of Saudi Arabia, we do.
