Seems to me, a bit like a snake biting its young....

Interesting that May is under massive pressure to disclose a Cameron investigation onto Saudi funding of ISIS. The government is desperate to protect Saudi links...

Yet, Qatar owns more property in London than anyone else. They've funded cross-rail and HS2 and the UK asked for help post brexit from Qatar.

Oh what a tangled web we weave.....

It's no wonder London has been referred to negatively by other countries in it's support of the Arabs.

This from Reuters today as reported via In-Cyprus news:
Air travel across the Gulf region and beyond faces major disruption following the move by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain to sever ties with Qatar, accusing the tiny oil rich state of supporting terrorism.

Saudi Arabia on Monday banned Qatari airlines from its airspace, while Abu Dhabi’s state-owned Etihad Airways and Dubai’s Emirates Airline said they would suspend all flights to and from Doha from Tuesday morning until further notice.

A lot of the guys I work with have been affected as they fly Qatar Airways from Egypt via Qatar to all points of the compass. Trying to find alternative flights at short notice is very difficult.
