Affordable Moral Leadership

Motivated no doubt by his ancestral Irish dislike of the United Kingdom, President Biden has announced that Washington will no longer facilitate the Saudi assault on Yemen with anything approaching the enthusiasm of the Trumpster administration. As a result, Her Majesty's Government is facing renewed urges to restrict Britain's own weapons trade with Whitehall's favourite Islamic fundamentalist head-choppers. Even little Toby Ellwood, late of the Ministry for Wog-Bombing, whose last major achievement was to complain that his salary was too low, has jumped upon the bandwagon and called for a fresh strategy for making money off the massacre. Since it remains as yet unclear whether Global Britain's newly-unrestrained exports of Marmite to Japan would be sufficient revenue to compensate for any loss of revenue, ministers have so far limited their response to graciously acknowledging the independence of the United States from British foreign policy.
