Our Kind of Extremist

Britain's Head Boy's favourite Islamic fundamentalists are not doing anything wrong, regardless of any quibbles by mere experts in international law. The Saudi head-choppers' ongoing rampage in Yemen has been certified squeaky-clean, with an innocence factor of near-Israeli proportions, because the Saudis have conducted numerous investigations into their own conduct and have satisfied themselves that the Saudis aren't doing anything wrong. No-one in the British Government could possibly quarrel with that, since it's exactly the way Whitehall and the Bullingdon Club like to conduct their own little affairs. The Saudis are also buying British weapons, which as everyone knows are clearly labelled Not to be used for the purposes of gratuitous violence, and the mere expert in international law has a funny foreign name; so it hardly seems worth while to pursue the matter further.
