Bahrain's crackdown on protesters an embarrassment to UK's honcho?


How wrong you are dear Mr. David Wearing!  Nothing embarrasses the politicians of today.  They don't go on guilt trips like us ordinary folks because those ruling over us think they have been elevated to Mount Olympus and the golden thrones they sit upon will be theirs forever.  These people think they have become gods and their actions are far beyond the understanding of us stupid mortals.    Moreover,  don't you know that the USA's  honcho has sent one of the most powerful warships in the entire world, the USS Nimitz to Bahrain  to ensure that Bahrain's dictatorship and the dictatorships in the surrounding Sunni nations are protected from those vile citizens who don't know what's good for them?    So .... it's not just David Cameron that the Sunni dictators have in their back pocket,  Obama and the honcho from France are also keeping him company in the same pocket.  They like the gas emitting from the dictators' rear ends and will fight to death if anybody dares to dislodge them from that prized location.


David Wearing writing at NewStatesman:
...The crackdown in Bahrain  is an embarrassment for David Cameron
After David Cameron's recent meeting with King Hamad at Downing Street, the Bahrain authorities began a punitive clampdown on pro-democracy campaigners. Sooner or later, the PM's links with repressive Gulf states will come back to haunt him.



The current wave of repression in Bahrain is an embarrassment for David Cameron and the British government, with the Gulf state yesterday heading off the threat of pro-democracy demonstrations by deploying razor wire to prevent public assembly and attacking demonstrators with birdshot and teargas. Only last week, in the middle of the regime’s brutal pre-emptive crackdown on the opposition ahead of the planned protests, Cameron met King Hamad at Downing Street apparently to discuss deepening the strategic relationship between Bahrain and the UK. Indeed, it seems as though the more desperate the situation in Bahrain becomes, the closer Britain ties itself to its ruling family.........
