Independent headline: UK sales of bombs and missiles to Saudi Arabia increase by almost 500% since start of Yemen war

CAAT (Campaign Against Arms Trade) is trying to put a stop to this. They've already been to court once, which inexplicably (i.e. because capitalism) found that continuing to arm a regime that's responsible for thousands of civilian deaths, bombing hospitals, and blockading ports and thereby preventing humanitarian aid, is "legal". CAAT are raising money to fund an appeal: case page on CrowdJustice (CrowdJustice is a crowdfunding site specifically for court cases).

Thanks for this. It's disgusting, the hypocrisy of the British government banging on about human rights in other countries and them doing this is staggering.
