    Saudis killing kids in Yemen - is this fake news?

    40 Yemeni kids were killed yesterday, but it doesn't get a mention on here and isn't considered important enough for the Wail to say much on it.

    Is it cause the UK sells around £2billion a year in arms to the Saudis, which are then used to kill children?
    Business is more important.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Middle eastern lives are only important to some if you can use them for political gain in the UK, or make a lot of money from them.

        Life is tulip, thank <insert deity of choice> it's not your kids, stop wringing your hands like a fairy and get on with it.

        Your average bloke in the street doesn't give a tulip about kids dying in other countries, they care about their own kids - most of the sane ones do anyway.

          That and house prices. Well, mostly house prices if I'm honest.

                    But did he post a chart?

                    Cost benefit analysis and all that?
