Just Say No To NSO

For sale to anyone who wants to buy it, Israeli spyware is all over WhatsApp. But you are worried about Huawei? Seriously?

Of course we have brought the Huawei situation on ourselves by deindustrialisation, deregulation and privatisation. That is also why we are caught up in the trade war between China and the United States, since they still have the wit to make real things. Services are all well and good, but you cannot service nothing. The stuff itself has to come from somewhere.

Nevertheless, while I do not like the regime in China, it is not allied to anyone who wishes us harm, and it is to some extent a bulwark against those who do. Moreover, its companies do not sell their products to what is obviously meant but never named in this story, Saudi Arabia. That is not only one of the two most evil regimes in the world, but, unlike North Korea, is also the nerve centre of all sorts of all other wicked things.

Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post. I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.

  1. China is a far more evil regime than that of Saudi Arabia! One million Uighur Muslims are currently being interned in “re-education camps” where they are tortured or killed until they renounce their faith and declare allegiance to the Communist Party.

    Saudi Arabia hasn’t even come close to that level of evil!

    1. Oh, but it has. What is more, it bombs Britain, which China doesn't. At least in principle, we would lock up those people in Xinjiang if they turned up in Britain. And their own ideological and material mothership is Saudi Arabia.
