Comment on UK to give military support to Saudi Arabia in fight against Houthis

  The current blockade is only on Saudi ships. Ansarallah specifically stated that if others help Saudi they will also get shipping blocks. Burnham is risking the UK economy to help the Saudi regime.

    and the UK does use Saudi owned ships to import and deliver oil and gas. So yes its a already a direct affect on us.

      Here’s an idea: don’t use Saudi flagged and owned ships.

    The previous blockade was “only” on Israeli ships or ships visiting Israel. Except the Houthis evidently got bored and started firing on other ships too.
