"This thread is about current UK politics."
You mean the British Government has stopped selling arms to despots and no longer allows the import of goods from firms employing slave labour?
Damn missed that particular U-turn in British policy
"unfortunately he will not take the least notice."
Do I detect desperation creeping in to all this?
Britain not only sells arms and the wherewithal to manufacture them (such as chemical weapons) to mass murderers and torturers, but one of our Prime Ministers personally befriended one and was part of his never being brought to trail, but she describes as attempts to bring him to justice as "running a police state" and described his mass murder as "democracy"
Our last Prime Minister paid respects his to the head of the Saudi Dynasty while his family's regime was administering 10000 lashes to a journalist who had spoken out-of-turn
Our current Prime Minister has just bunged £billion of taxpayers money to a Party with terrorist connections
Nothing has changed in right wing politics - we still support despots, we involve ourselves in wars of self interest and we kiss the arses of warmongerers like Trump
Nothing has changed - if anything, things are getting worse
Will you pair of bullies and manipulators please lay off
What with blustering, cowardly arrogance and attempts to manipulate discussions to deal only with what you both wish to be discussed, this forum is beginning to feel like part of the Murdoch Empire
