I am pretty sure our labour laws are better than one where thousands of migrant workers died in construction. I am pretty sure we don’t have women and gay people treated as second class citizens. So spare me this false equivance bollocks.
The difference between what the UK did in the past is that this was historical. Qatari problems are happening now. There is no equivalence between the two. We have our problems, but we’re better than a morally squalid dictatorship where debate like this is far more controlled.
Oh, and the majority of Iraqi deaths was caused by Islamist attacks, not US or UK bombings. Also, while the pretext was a load of crap, let’s not pretend that Saddam’s Iraq of genocide against Kurds and massacring Shia’a was some peaceful state.
