Blair seeks to arm Saudi Arabia for £40bn
It's funny isn't it. On a historic day for the people of the North and the Republic, Tony Blair comes out with a quote that makes a mockery of what he's really about. He says, "This may be the day when finally after all the false dawns and dashed hope, peace replaced war, politics replaces terror on the island of Ireland". On the very same day, it's revealed that Tony Blair and his Labour government seek to trade arms with the Saudis to the tune of £40bn.
Despite the War on Terror, despite the London bombings, despite the fact that the real reason for poverty in Africa is because the UK supplies arms to corrupt regimes, despite the fact that the IRA have destroyed their arsenal (contestable), Tony Blair and his henchmen are looking to arm the Middle East to the teeth with machines of death.
Only the corrupt or the blind could fail to see the contradiction.
