Yet another faceless and unelected bureaucrat has been making unhelpful remarks about the head-chopping House of Saud's crusade for British values in Yemen. Quite aside from putting medical personnel firmly in their place and further illustrating the necessity for firm border controls in a world made stable by wog-bombing, to say nothing of the impact on property values, the Saudi-led rampage is being conducted at least in part by British-trained and British-equipped troops. Hence, the crusade is by definition more restrained than anything the beastly Russians have managed by withdrawing from Syria, and certainly more humane than the notorious stone-throwers of Palestine. Nevertheless, the UN's humanitarian co-ordinator in Yemen, whose very job title comprises two of the least-approved functions in British political economy, seems to think there are grounds for pessimism. Well, he would, wouldn't he.
