Old news indeed. I know that BAE Systems were also pushing like mad to stop it going ahead, because as well as the loss of sales, they would have looked a lot worse comming out of it!

Ok, so we sell the Saudi's arms and they just stab us in the back when we do something they don't like. More fool the Labour gov't for selling those arms to them, stupid really. In a region which is so unstable we go and sell our most advanced technology to them, thus fueling that instability... yeah... victory for common sense!
