Comment Speech Bubble Have your say(2)

PERHAPS she wasn’t best pleased with the public’s reaction to her guest.

But the Queen looked stern as she welcomed King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia to Buckingham Palace.

Last night she held a state banquet in the Muslim halal way. Anger over human rights abuse, including torture and executions in the Arab kingdom and disagreements over tackling terrorism, have blighted his three-day trip.

Around 100 human rights and anti-arms trade activists had repeatedly jeered and shouted “Shame on you” as the Middle East monarch travelled to the Palace in a golden royal carriage.

Activist Peter Tatchell accused ministers of “incredible hypocrisy for condemning the Burmese and Zimbabwean regimes while saying nothing about human rights abuses in the Saudi Kingdom”.

He said: “It just shows oil and arms sales seem to have bought the Government’s silence.”

What a disaster! How low can we get, having to ar**- lick a bunch of bedouins with no education, finess, nor backbone, all this just for money!

Look at them carefully and you will see for yourselves.

One thing I can say, the Liberals have stood their ground and declined to mix with this bunch, and would raise my hat to them. The rest, including Charles, Her Majesty, and Prince Philip, all looked bored and out of place. As for the King of S.A., I'm sure he prefered to be elsewhere.

It is ironic to read about Saudi Arabia! knowing that Britain installed the present dynasty to rule the land. They were nothing more than a bunch of nomads who roamed the desert and traded between the east and west.

To close my comment, I would like to liken Gordon Brown to those puppet dogs one sees nodding their heads in the back of cars. Whenever H.M mentions (Trade Co-operation) that head starts nodding, and the chin dropping.
