The long read: Britain does not merely supply the bombs that fall on Yemen – it provides the personnel and expertise that keep the war going. But is the government breaking the law?

For more than four years, a brutal Saudi air campaign has bombarded Yemen, killing tens of thousands, injuring hundreds of thousands and displacing millions – creating the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. And British weapons are doing much of the killing. Every day Yemen is hit by British bombs – dropped by British planes that are flown by British-trained pilots and maintained and prepared inside Saudi Arabia by thousands of British contractors.

UK military continues to help Saudi to blockade and bomb Yemen's civil infrastructure to create cholera and famine. A UN-defined war crime.

And the UK couldn’t pay social benefits without our money from weapons sales. As for us? We can find better weapons alternative from Russia/China at a fraction of the cost. On top of that, they proved to be much formidable allies than “the free world”. Do us a favor & abandon us?

I've no time for either SA or Iran. But there is a lot of propaganda funded by Iran in this article.

IF you are so certain of this, go live in Yemen! I hear they welcome PC lefty looneys!

Selling their morals for £Billions Saudi trade

Seriously guys.. get a life .. Focus on what dress your royals wore... A small country like Britain is done and please focus on your home problems.

So disgusting! When the chickens come home 2 roost carrying bombs that kill innocent British civilians, don’t cry! Remember: Every Dog has their day. So They sow So they’ll reap Time longer than twine England will reap what they sow.

And still they wonder , why the 3rd world countries wary of Western countries. Still, nothing has really changed after World war, Cold war, no international law & order . But who cares, let’s see Royal baby..

The consequences of allowing Yemen, the Gulf of Aden and the Bab-el Mandeb straight to fall under Houthi/Iranian/Russian control would have dire consequences. I am shocked that the Guardian is unaware of this......perhaps a history lesson (on many topics) would benefit this paper
