Opinion: No Jeremy Hunt, British values do not include selling arms to the SaudisDespite its strenuous claims not to be party to the war, the UK is now materially, diplomatically and symbolically involved RT : Opinion: No Jeremy_Hunt, British values do not include selling arms to the Saudis Unfortunately they do. We've been doing it for years with nothing but limp liberal response so we either decide to stand by values or give up because if Brexit happens then we will be begging to selling them guns, bullets, cattle-prods and even the water they use to torture. Sorry? What? 'British values' had No Problem with Northern Ireland Sectarian discrimination. They had No Problem with Thatcherite support for Apartheid Regime in South Africa. They had No Problem with British callousness to Famines in Ireland and India. When did they Change?!!!
