The people of Tunisia and Egypt have revolted and the people of Bahrain are engaged in a struggle against their regime as I write. The imperial governments of the USA and the UK have sponsored and supported all three dictators of the aforesaid nations throughout their time in power.

In arguably the most oppressive regimes in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia (US & UK’s bestest buddy) there is real tension on the streets. If it does Kick-off in Saudi Arabia, should we, ‘Stand shoulder to shoulder’ with the US or finally recognise that the sun has set on our empire?
