House of Saud?

Saud Prince, Abd al-Muhsen bin Walid bin Abd al-Aziz Al Saud, in a spot of bother. Ooops, free market, drug trader.  Saudi prince arrested after two tonnes of drugs are found on private jet

Wonder if clemency will be shown with just a little flogging.


Aslo, what else this this entrepreneurial prince has been upto.   Any trading criminal worth their salt diversify the goods they trade. South Americans Drug traffickers proved that long ago, they are even rumoured to be in the middle east fighting

He's not a woman, so I doubt there'll be the need to make the documentary Death of a Prince

There was a piece in the Guardian saying the UK could be done for War Crimes by selling missiles to the Saudis that are being used to bomb civilians in Yemen.

The Saudis would have to be done for war crimes first.
I'm not saying this shouldn't happen.

They should but they won't. With the US and most of the West supporting and turning a blind eye to what there doing in Yemen they pretty much have free reign to do what they want. Now if Iran was doing the same in Yemen what would the reaction be? There would be uproar and more than likely we would intervene militarliy on "humanitarian grounds". Complete BS and again its the complete hypocritical nature of the Wests actions / inactions in the middle east that is stroing up problems that is going to last generations.

Woops, dont think this was helpful, House of Saud.  
ISIS/IS/Daesh lob off heads, House of Saud lob off heads, there is pattern occuring, surely they are linked.

Hands up anyone who agrees.
Unless they have been cut off.
Over the top? Not for a country that executes people arrested as teenagers.

You have to wonder who the real threat to peace in the middle east is. Again if this was Iran executing a Sunni Iman then all hell would be breaking loose. Again little to no reaction from the West.
