It’s not though. Whataboutism implies the Saudi’s are getting unjust criticism. They aren’t. They deserve all the criticism they get. My point, supported with evidence, is that the media pick and choose their narrative from a fake position of virtue when, as coherently pointed out by Fist, Boris and Trump are on the same spectrum of cuntishness yet escape criticism by vast swathes of the media

Ive already answered that above. The histories of the 2 states are so far removed from each other it was impossible for them to end up with comparable legal systems. One of them is making efforts for reform. Whether it’s lip service or otherwise remains to be seen

No fucker is defending Saudi btw. Im saying America are a pack of cunts too but no one seems to give a fuck because we are desensitised to it

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/nathaniel-woods-lethal-injection-alabama-death-penalty-us-a9384251.html Not as different as some would have you believe

As I said. Reform isn’t an overnight process. Most Middle Eastern legal systems are barbaric by Western standards.

Open the discussion up then. Saudi Arabia has some backwards traditions and laws. It’s a complex, multi faceted issue though, based on thousands of years of tradition and religious beliefs. The solution isn’t as simple as just switching to a British style justice system overnight.

Saudi funded massacres in Yemen The US waged full scale war against Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria to install Western values in their governments and gain control of oil fields. They blow up kids at funerals and call it collateral damage. We’ve joined in some of it

Im not defending Saudi Arabia. I’ve seen ‘beheadings’ chucked about all over twitter as proof Saudi Arabia are barbaric. In America you can choose to be shot to death, gassed to death or hanged. I don’t see that mentioned when the Glazers took over Man United.

That’s canny. I cancelled my May holiday to Tenerife an rebooked it for October

For balance, in 2018 Saudi Arabia carried out 149 executions. USA carried out 25 executions. The legal systems of the 2 countries aren’t the polar opposites some would have you believe. Just ask any poor, black American

The share prices are for US oil apparently. The Saudi’s are still filthy rich

I’d imagine a big chunk of that $260bil is money in the bank from decades of oil sales.

I would have thought my example being a piss take was obvious

And yet their most expensive transfer is 24th on the list of the worlds most expensive transfers. Which suggests they are doing it differently to other clubs?

That's not my understanding of it but I'd be lying if I said I knew enough about it to argue. From speaking with an A&E Consultant last week she suggested there's no rhyme nor reason as to who gets very sick and who has mild symptoms and I can;t see it being linked to how long you are stood next to someone with COVID

Aye but that article says you “might” be able to acquire a mutated version of the virus further down the line. Certainly no evidence that anyone in the UK has caught COVID twice

Yeah, but I’m fairly sure that’s not how it works. You don’t get worse AIDS by shagging a carrier more than once

Some Journalist’s really aren’t taking this well

So 12 players in 24 transfer windows since they took over the club. They’ve paid fees for 86 players in that time. 12/86 = 14% of buys cost more than Joelinton Leaving 86% of buys costing less than Joelinton https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/most

I don’t believe so. Im not a virologist, but I’m fairly sure that once you’ve got it, you’ve got it. Your body then produces antibodies and you can’t catch it again.

COVID wards probably the best place for them to work atm! At least they’re not going to give it to any patients

Man City’s approach is slightly different to Barca, Real Madrid, Juventus etc Prior to signing Rodri most of their signings cost the same as Joelinton or less. They’ve just signed about 30 for them

How has Gene not had a mention yet. That review of his book on Amazon was gold
