Barely three weeks after the brutal and murderous assault on harmless satirists by Islamentalists, our glorious leaders queue to kiss the arse of one of the most despotic leaders we have ever had the honour to do our filthy corporate business with. With the blessing of the House of Windsor and flags flying shamefully at half mast, Cameron and Jug Ears scuttled their way past the VIP duty free to join a raft of world leaders who had earlier braved the streets of Paris to declare freedom of expression as a fundamental human right for all, all desperate to be seen to pay homage to a man who willingly executes those who dare to differ in opinion from his own.

The only true achievement of King Abdullah of the Royal House of Saudi, apart from filling the coffers of Bae Weapons shareholders was to demonstrate the obscene hypocrisy of those we elect to represent us or tolerate ruling over us.

As the jailed and subsequently publicly flogged freedom of expression blogger Raif Badawi might say:

“Abdullah certainly left his mark on me - all over my flayed back.Still, at least he dragged this country kicking and screaming into the 8th Century”

THE KING IS DEAD. LONG LIVE THE KING
