What about the mayhem in Yemen, that's what the weapons sales affect. The murder of one man pales in comparison.

😂😂😂😂😂

Britain has always been a greedy for money nation and will stop at nothing

What does anybody expect? Theresa Mays husband sells arms to Saudis, so no conflict of interest..... IS THERE 🤐🤐

UK military personnel continue to assist Saudi to blockade and bomb Yemen's civil infrastructure to create cholera and famine.

jchyip Well, if they're leaving the EU, they've got to do _something_ to make money!

Why should they stop as they are the real bosses of MBS_murderer (and his roadcutting-looter tribe for generations). This is how they do 'business' in Middle East. Human rights & freedoms are used only as PR hypes. Since Great Saudi Leader Lawrence! KSA MBS whereisjamal

Careful they dont use the weapons against Britain or its citizens. Arms dealers like Britain should be careful those to whom they sell weapons. May come back to bite you in the arse.

Never again, lest we forget. Never again shall we fail to export war and death, lest we ever forget the Bottom Line. British bombs for lasting security and peace. A land fit for corporate greed.

Well done UK. Proud of your majesty! ironic

Like everything else with this disgusting government it's been kicked into the long grass and hopefully forgotten

Did you seriously think it was going to? If I were to characterise my loss of confidence in the Guardian it isn’t the shift to the centre taking in articles from across the range. It’s the journalists and editors loss of any sense of who their target audience actually is.

Are you surprised? It’s a simple calculation. Lose billions in orders over one brutal murder? Nope....so Saudi will do it again, albeit in a much more discreet way, like a car accident. That’s what I guess they have been told by U.K. Be discreet next time.

Marx to Engels 'what else one expect from Brits'. They do not confuse business with murder since both are same.

allanjenkins21 Why should it.. shall we stop selling cars to countries if someone kills a pedestrian with one?.

😤😤😤😤

Why should it, especially if it's true that he was an islamist? We should act according to *our* national interest, not the national or personal interests of foreigners. Direct your outrage at the murdering Saudi savages, or would that be too disrespectful of islam for you?

If they were firing the same weapons back at us they wouldn’t stop it. After bombs and banking we really don’t have that much

greekemmy But I don't think it should stop the United States either look what happens with their country as for their people to deal with we need to stop sticking our noses in other affairs we need to deal with the issues which we have here at home and we have a long list of them

Why would it? Attacking Yemen, blockading Qatar and executing people haven't made a difference.

The way things are going, i would be at all surprised were uk to expect saudi to bail the uk out after brexit, imagine uk bringing in compulsory burqa.

Disgusting

Oh STFU ... Saudi has been executing dissidents, petty criminals , blasphemers etc ... for ever, and no one ever gave a toss ... stick something on a front page of the guardian and everyone one thinks they are Peter soddin Tatchell .

Why is this such a surprise obviously money is more important to Britain than human rights!

All governments give a shit about people only money talks wake up Britain you thought we were sooo good

To use 'Norvichok' would be another story !! 😂😂😂😂

Too much money involved. How sad that money is worth more than lives. Sad world, sad humans.

Financial losses supersede humanitarian law and exposed human rights issues and farce claims....shame to morality

Western HAHAHA

Why would it? One man's life is far less important to this government's principles than selling a shit load of weapons to someone

Unacceptable, UK! I say! 10.👊 💚 👊 🍀

I'm shocked and appalled

...obviously the poms have no dignity, respect for life, integrity or class. It's all about the money.

One bloke V millions and job security. Do the sums.

SketchBlog UK government has no morals.

You really thought it would? Oh Guardian journos, you really are a bunch of naive, idealist fools. Now then, back to your usual gender, man-hating politics bile.

So human rights and rule of law do not matter when sovereign interests are at stake? It only matters when foes or weak countries are involved? Very defining moment in human rights advocacy. KenRoth amnesty UNHumanRights theresa_may

Well, I never!

It's just not too cool, is it! USA side, Mattis talks of ending in-air refueling of Saudi combat jets. Yet still, even then like us in Bahrain. They are sending men and the readies to help KSA in creating infrastructures to surpress internal Freedoms. It's all f****d up..!!

One would be surprised that there were no improvements in 'Britain selling arms to the Saudis'

Selling arms to saudis? Who is speeding!

If the starving children in Yemen doesn’t stop it then nothing will. Until it no longer benefits the rich nothing will change

😂you thought it would?

It’s one thing to discuss whether as a nation one should cease from ANY trade with Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 BUT to continue to sell weapons - isn’t it a bit ignorant to Khashoggi’s murder? If I was Khashoggis wife/son, I’d really be sad for this reaction from such a respected country

Piss weak

Did anyone seriously expect that it might? 🤣

FMD!

God sees it all don't worry there's a plan.

They didn't murder him with arms we sell. They use those to kill Yemeni's

And UK 🇬🇧 continues the proud (de)route

Jamal Khashoggi: Trump suggests 'the world' is to blame for journalist's deathSpeaking to reporters, the US president says he did not know who was behind the killing but cites 'vehement' Saudi denials. Nope. Just Jeff Bezos. Such a difference between the treatment of this state crime and the whole Skripal fiasco where there was no solid proof or audio recordings of murder. It really is a case of 'you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours' He will always act as if he was still a CEO! Every thing is money-based and morals are not part of the equation unless they suit his argument.

Top Democrats accuse Trump of lying about CIA's Jamal Khashoggi reportTrump denied that US intelligence blamed Saudi crown prince but Adam Schiff responded: ‘I think the president is being dishonest’ The ONLY reason CIA (and their banker masters) are interested in the Khashoggi murder now is because MBS backed out of allowing the bankers to privatize Aramco. Do not care!!!! Not our business. He was a terrorist and not a US National. Not our business. Next? What about WMD in their report about Iraq? Was it precise.

They brutally murdered over 2000 innocent Americans. If we didn’t go after Saudis then why should we now? Very moving... Muslim Brotherhood member - buh bye!
