Do you not think that this is already being done?

Shaking the tree? The UK is desperate to create trade deals to manage the impact of Brexit.

Don't be so over-dramatic. Shake the tree a bit and ask them to stop funding Western extremists.

How is the Arab spring working out for Egypt, Libya, Syria, Tunisia?

Which includes allowing $billions to flow into terrorist wahabi organisations. Crippling that country with sanctions and stopping the flow of money to terrorists may actually help don't you think?

It won't help the bosses of large UK companies and their bonuses.

That's not my understanding.

I understood that there is a fragile peace between more moderate royalty and leadership and a large part of the extremist/wasabi population.

There is a difference with Saudi in that you already effectively have ISIS running the show.

Fund and support movements that destabilise Saudi in favour of democratic liberal principles. Obtain and publicise images and videos of princes in compromising positions.

Support those in the region who are fighting terrorism - Iraq, Lebanon, Syria are all waging wars against Saudi Proxies yet we decide to support the terrorist. Iraq has lots of oil if that's what we are after.

This is our current relationship - if the relationship is wrong (debatable) then what should change?

I guess we may as well continue doing what we are doing - it's working so far. 9/11 was no big deal and the continuing increase of extremism is cool too. The fact they use the arms to bomb the hell out of poor countries really shouldn't be on our conscious either....

So what should the UK do about it?

Current policy is trade with SA, largely arms, and use that relationship to gently press upon certain issues through diplomacy.

What is the alternative?

WTF?

Are you having a laugh? It's their money and books that are responsible for murder in our streets and all we can do is sell them bombs? You are perfect for the Tory party.
