Yes it's brutal for those involved, wherever, whenever, however children die - but surely the focus should be on undernutrition rather than Yemen, based on the numbers?
You shouldn't absolve a government from supply weapons or not condemning those who use them on children.
You shouldn't absolve a government for supporting terrorism. But as is standard, let's find some way to make the current government seem as clean as possible, while blaming anyone and everyone who is not a Wailer of being absolute evil.
Tony Bliar was an evil man, possibly further to the right of his hero, Maggie.
I don't support the supply of weapons to groups who will use them on children. Theresa May, along with others, most certainly does. But several on here refuse to accept that, some, perhaps, even support it, because it's "business"…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

So do we stop selling Arms or just not to dodgy states? The latter would cost £18 Billion but then some other country would sell them and we would have no oversight. I'm not sure the best choice but <£20 Billion is a good choice for a clean conscience.

A joint analysis conducted by the Independent and Campaign Against the Arms Trade found £10bn in arms licences were issued 2010-2015 to regimes designated “unfree” by Freedom House, including China, Oman, Turkmenistan and UAE.
Meanwhile £7.9bn worth of arms were sold to countries on the “human rights priority countries” list, which is maintained by the Foreign Office and includes countries judged by the FCO to have “the worst, or greatest number of, human rights violations”Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

If your chosen enemy decide to use human shields unbeknownst to the mission planners or their intelligence sources then the responsibility for the deaths of innocents lies with your enemy, not with you.
It really is as cut and dried as that.

I'm not running the country, or an arms dealer, so it's not my call.
But as long as this country is supplying arms to dodgy people, then insisting that only one person (or one group of people) in parliament is the only one who supports terrorism is false.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

To become the most powerful person in the UK you need to appear to be trustworthy for the position. Liking non government sponsored terrorists is not a good look for a candidate.
I would like Jezzy with his baggage to step down and Labour field someone electable, we might get a decent government when the Tories are actually pushed.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
