They make me uneasy. Does the Establishment imagine that by handing out death sentences they will intimidate the opponents of the Regime ?

Friend was in Manama at the weekend. He says that it looks like Northern Ireland at the height of the troubles.

Rest assured that British advisors are showing Saudis and Bahrainis how to repress troublesome dissidents.

The Royal Family and courtiers in Manama seem to be dim enough to believe that the iron fist will get them what they want.

Watch this space.

The ruling dynasty begin to look more and more like the House of Bourbon in 18th century France.

As usual our EFLer buddies in KSA are more concerned about the price of a beer or a short time than about endorsing Tyranny !
