so.. about the Saudis. She met the head of a foreign government which is currently an important ally with whom we have a lot of trade (not just arms).
we buy an awful lot of their oil.
There are some inferences that some elements of the saudi state or individuals associated with it have funnelled money towards ISIS. Though those that watch this space realise that Qatar is more likely involved and part of the issue with ISIS is that they were pretty self funding with their own oil.
The point is not able to be conflated and points to the Wahabism of the Saud dynasty being potentially allied with the clear Salafism of IS.
Now IS have been pretty self funding - the airstrikes have put paid to that and IS is running low on everything. Hence the call recently to "inspired" groups.
This deliberate and erroneous conflation is usually in defence of Corbyn. This is classic whatabouttery that is usually frowned on by MN.
Turn if we can to JC. Both he, Diane Abbott and McDonnell voted against prosecuting returning fighters from Syria. Just let that sink in. The person vying for home secretary is on record of voting against that. When Corbyn was asked if returning fighters he stated that the supporters should not be prosecuted for "expressing a political point of view".
regardless of your political view - you should be rightly concerned at him and his ilk getting the reins of power.
Where are is the likes of Jarvis, Starmer and so on when Labour need them? Corbyn is a political ideologue. When you are PM of one of the largest economies in the world you need to be a pragmatist first and last. Engage with real-politik rather than ideological purity.
