Lord Tebbit has written a piece for the the Mail today rebuffing the judges who criticised the Government for dropping the SFO investigation into dodgy arms dealing:
"Are they ignoring the fact that tens of thousands of people could lose their jobs, or some even their lives, if relations between Britain and Saudi Arabia were to break down?"
That's the same reasoning used by those decrying the Clapham Set as insane and unpatriotic for wanting to destroy the mainstay of Britain's economy whilst it was at war with France.
Both arguments are selfish and short-termist.
