    Will all contracts be cancelled or will we allow the financial benefits to outweigh the rule of law.



    We are accomplices to this murder if we don’t react. We are assisting Saudi every day on defence contracts.

    Interesting story. Much much bigger that Brexit
    We export more to Sweden than we do to Saudi Arabia

    Do Sweden buy as many Jet fighters, Tanks, Bombs, guns, and various other killing machines from BAE as our mates in Saudi Arabia? and do they make as many political donations as BAE to whatever war mongering government are in charge?

    There's also your answer as to whether we carry on trading with the Saudis?

    I'm sure a strongly worded letter from a sub minister will heading to Riyadh at some point

    I was simply adding a fact to a view that any impact on trade with Saudi Arabia from a reaction to the ridiculous slaying of a dissident in their Embassy is unlikely to have anywhere near the impact of Brexit on our trade with the EU. We exported £37b worth of goods to Germany in 2017 compared with £4b to Saudi Arabia.

    I guess given Brexit that markets with countries that kill opponents in their own Embassy might become even more important but lets have some facts before we start comparing like with like!

    It goes further than that, some people have family members involved.
