A nation whch lives partly by bowing and scraping to Saudi Arabia is not in a good position to cancel Sir Francis Drake. Let us admit *our* sins before excoriating the sins of our forebears. https://t.co/rPPC2spQmp via @mailplus — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, Drake did wicked things. But it’s idiotic to pretend he wasn’t a great Englishman https://t.co/rPPC2spiwR via @mailplus — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 But apparently @david_broadley it's perfectly legal for Britain to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia, an aggressive nation which murders dissidents and cuts up their bodies. I don't suppose anyone these days much *wants* to issue a letter of marque. — PolitiTweet.org
