...UK Ally executes dozens annually.

Sorry guys but the death penalty compromises our "moral high ground" on this topic. It's not sufficient to claim that we don't like the rationale for these killings in Saudi but we're not much different in having state sanctioned murder.

We're birds of a feather on this one.
