“Lest We Forget?” More Like “Lest we Remember”

Not only is the UK involved in constant conflicts it is also financially benefitting from them. The UK is one of the world’s largest arms exporters. Between 2010 and 2019, almost 60% of UK arms exports went to the Middle East, mostly to Saudi Arabia. UK-made weapons have been used in the Saudi-led bombardment of Yemen, and the UK government has provided ongoing maintenance and technical support for Saudi aircraft.  More recently it has been condemned for supplying F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel, a country being investigated for genocide by the international criminal court. 80 years after the Holocaust in Germany, the UK is actively involved in another Holocaust, this time in Gaza.
