[RT] An investigation commissioned by former Prime Minister David Cameron
... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not.

They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....

#3 I'd add in Qatar and the Emirates as well. But that's my not-so-humble opinion.

#4 So ... the Russian info front wants us to focus on Saudi funding in the past.

Not Iran and Putin in the present.

Got it.
