  1. I have wrestled with this for some time, much like eating meat and have reached no conclusion. I love meat but could not step into a slaughterhouse. The suffering would be too. much.

     

    Thus it is with our dalliance with Saudi Arabia. It is my fervent hope that their exposure to western values will alter their imperatives and that they achieve a more humane society. O believe the crown Prince has begun such a programme but you can tell me Im wrong about that. I must remain sanguine until I reach some compromise.

     

    In the meantime, I am reminded that we have sold them Tornado's, Typhoons, F35's and other weapons designed to kill. If the British government is comfortable with that, Im not going to knock myself out worrying over the club I love. Someone earlier said our board has Jews and Arabs working together. Is a start.

  2. I went to RAF Cosford Air Show last year and as such found my trick hip playing me up. Two Mackems looked after me, carried my heavy bag and stayed with me throughout the show. Then they helped me back to the bus. Two of the soundest blokes you could wish to meet and of the generation where they had dual season tickets for the Toon and Sunderland. They wished us well and hoped Sunderland would get out of the pit of despair. It seems like its only RTG that made them embarrased to be Mackems.
