All BAE, all the time

I really cannot allow a day to go by without saying something about the relationship between arms manufacturer, aka merchant of death, BAE systems and the British government. Yesterday the government had its wrist slapped by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development over the cancellation of the probe by the Serious Fraud Office into allegations of the payment by BAE of multi-million pound backhanders to Saudi princes in order to close a deal for the sale of EuroFighters to the Arab state.
