Petition Do not sell weapons to Saudi Arabia or strategic UK infrastructure to China

The UK establishment trades political economy for cash from the most repressive regimes. Oversight of the arms trade is inadequate as it seems British weapons have been used to violate international conventions in Yemen. China is guaranteed a 10% return on Hinckley C but 30yr Gilt yield a mere 2.47%
