  1. You mean you don't support costly pointless virtue signalling for no gain?

  2. They were 'good' terrorists. Their bombs didn't hurt as much then as they do now.

  3. So the Saudis directly support ISIS and bomb them at the same time do they?

  4. The Saudis have been fighting ISIS (and Iran) in Yemen. They've also been victims of ISIS terrorist attacks. Don't get me wrong, the Saudis appease the extremists as much as the Pakistanis do. But the main reason why Corbyn's Stop The war Coalition buddies go on about the Saudis in Yemen so much is because they're fighting the Iranians. And the STWC are full of Iranian and Assad loyalists.

  5. The Saudis have been fighting a lacklustre battle against ISIS in Yemen, this is true. The same is true of Assad and the Russians in Syria. But to claim the Saudis support ISIS is a myth. It may be the result of the Saudi's sympathy towards that brand of Islam. But we know very much the same thing happens in Pakistan with the Taliban. And Pakistan has all sorts of problems with the Taliban. So the Saudis are as concerned with the spread of ISIS as anyone. But check out the leadership of STWC. Assad/Iranian apologists with a heavy mix of communism + usual idiots. It's the reason why they're so obsessed with Israel, but have fuck all to say about Assad and Iran in Syria/Yemen.

  6. ''...Why haven't you pointlessly signalled your virtue at the expense of UK/US relations?''

  7. Whatever anyone thinks about climate change, I see no benefit to the UK in virtue signalling. Quite the opposite.
