'Saudi support against terror'... is only given when it suits them, of course.
The biggest losers from all this will be the likes of heather mills, allegedly.Vieze Oude ManComment

Surely PM can't just call off the investigation - that would be obstruction of justice and he simple can't possibly legally do anything like this, especially now that it was leaked - probably intentionally just to tell Saudis that since it is known they can't do anything: the guys from authoritarian regimes simply don't understand how is it the PM or the President can't just pick up a phone and stop investigation.Comment

The PM/President are willing to kill thousands in the national interest. So you think they will not do it to save their skin and votes?Johnny Talibani MumbaiComment

Originally posted by AtWDon't confuse morale and legal issues - invasion in Iraq is legal under UK laws.
All I'm saying is that you have too much faith in the British Democracy/Legal systems. To think that the PM or anyone else would let that BAE contract goes to another country ... you would be sadly mistaken. Let's face it, other countries would only happen to pay the bribe!!!Johnny Talibani MumbaiComment

Originally posted by AtWI was in court once (and won), and regularly read about legal cases - so far the impression is more than favourable: UK courts make very good balanced decisions, in some criminal cases they are too lax, but that's because Govt does not build enough prisons and effectively forces them avoid imprisonment, the fault is on the Executive branch.
