Reply to: BAE Secretly Sold Mass Surveillance Technology To Repressive Regimes

[woohoo]

Aren't all the UK telephone exchanges built with Chinese electronics these days?

I bet they're bristling with secret surveillance gear that lets the Chinks eavesdrop on us!

You give too much credit to their tech, most of the tulip I buy from China breaks or threatens to set my house on fire.

We still do business with China and USA.

Tezza is besties with the Saudi terrorist funders, so what's the problem?

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.

The Republic of Ireland is free of such problems...

Are there terrorists in government?

About 23 from that.

Who?

I was being slightly cheeky, but I understand that Martin Ferris and Dessie Ellis have 'interesting' histories.

None of the 23 Sinn Féin TDs are in government and neither are they part of the confidence and supply arrangement to support the government. They are all opposition TDs. So Ireland (Republic of) does indeed appear to be free of such problems.

Plenty of other problems to contend with.

Same with the UK parliment.

The composition of the Irish and UK parliaments isn't particularly relevant to whether Tezza is besties with terrorists, terrorist funders and terrorist sympathisers.

[woohoo]

How to stop laughing at the UK?

Stop being so negative, grow a spine and stop the winning.

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.

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

And todays "No tulip Sherlock" award goes to.... The Guardian.

Seriously, anyone who thinks this stuff isn't happening is kidding themselves.

As a significant shareholder in BAE, I see no problem with this
