SAUDI CONSERVATIVES.

Isn’t it peculiar the way in which the BBC insists in attaching the label “conservative” to those tyrants in some of the worlds’ most repressive regimes? Take the report on BBC Radio 4 “Today” this morning, just after 7am, telling us about the Saudi Arabian plan to create a new city in the desert. It appears that this visionary act is opposed by some “conservative” critics who fear that it may lead to calls for more freedom. Surely the correct term to use here is Wahhabi fascists, or would that be too close to the bone for the BBC when discussing our dear friends in “The Kingdom”?
