in thinking a lot of the things ISIS are damned for, Saudi Arabia et al do too

Watching the house of commons debate about air strikes in Syria. Repeatedly things to point out how awful DAESH are are things like beheading, murder of gay people, crucifixion and children under 10 marrying.

These are all things practiced by Saudi Arabia as well. Some other countries too. If those MPs putting these forth as the abhorrent practices they are, use them as making a case for bombing Syria, do they not just as equally make a case for bombing countries with similar practices as well?

I have long been of the opinion that there should be a boycott on Saudi Arabia.

Not that anyone listens to me. Germany sells them weapons, apparently.

Why single out germany? They have been our biggest arms market for years

Saudis and Egypt among biggest markets for UK arms despite human rights breaches

Oil.

Don't think many know what North Korea do

pretty much the same sort of thing just in a slightly different way for different reasons. The end is the same. Except the whole country is one big prison camp with possibly less justice than even isis dishes out or SA.
