Britain has issued its sharpest condemnation of the direction of Saudi Arabian human rights policy, describing its mass executions as “repulsive” and “utterly unacceptable in the modern world”.

Yeah, so repulsive that we will reward you by buying your oil at whatever price you care to set and by fulfilling multiple weapons contracts as and when you need equipment to murder Yemeni children. But in the meantime a sternly worded statement will do....

The arabs may mistake some of the riders as women ... never mind will they be able to enter

When I take my helmet off. if I have my oxford balaclava on it does quite resemble a burkha and with my mid life spread fat ass and little man titties iam gaining they could possibly mistake me for one 🤣😂🤣😂😂

Well I found myself in front of that nice Mr De Rooy Junior in the queue for lunch on Friday, so asked him what he thought.

He said he thought the terrain in Saudi would make for a good race. On the political front, he said that the Saudis were having to suspend some of their legislation regarding women, drink etc, and he thought long term that would help drive reform in the country.

I also went for a ride in his lorry, which was interesting to say the least.
