    BAE Secretly Sold Mass Surveillance Technology To Repressive Regimes

    Well, I suppose at least we know exactly what they have


    BAE, Britain’s biggest arms company, secretly sold mass surveillance technology to six Middle Eastern governments that have been criticised for repressing their citizens, the BBC has reported.

    The sophisticated technology can be used to spy on a huge number of people’s emails and mobile phones, triggering accusations from human rights campaigners that it is being used to silence or jail dissidents.

    According to documents obtained by the BBC, the equipment has been sold in recent years to the governments of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar, Algeria and Morocco.

        Of course Tezza has the Saudis, the DUP and a former IRA member as a Tory councillor in Croydon, so at least she's inclusive.

              As a significant shareholder in BAE, I see no problem with this
              How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                  Seems our allies have no issue with such deals


                  The US has signed a $12bn deal to supply dozens of F-15 jets to Qatar, despite recent high-profile claims by President Donald Trump alleging Qatar’s “high-level funding” of terrorism.
