They Didn't Send a Video, After All

Beheadings and crucifixions, it would seem, are disappointing and a bit disproportionate but understandable, provided they are carried out by a legitimately constituted state operating in a state system. In the absence of objections from the Bullingdon Club, it has fallen to a former British ambassador and a minion to the empty suit at the Ministry for Wogs, Frogs and Huns to formulate our great nation's reaction to the executions in Saudi Arabia. The former ambassador also noted that Iran executes more people than the Saudis; but somehow failed to remember that China, to which the Bullingdon Club is so eager to flog off our energy industry, probably executes more than both put together.
