“People can also make their peace with Saudi ownership because the UK itself is at peace and in alliance with the regime, and only last month resumed arms sales to it after an official review concluded there were only “isolated incidents” of airstrikes on Yemen that breached humanitarian law.”


A “product associated with Saudi” is a piece of p1ss in comparison to a state (UK, and the US) arming the Saudis to the teeth.

The PL would look pretty ridiculous suggesting human rights abuses by the Saudis was a factor when the country it operates in is knowingly facilitating them.

The associations sit independently of one another.

The UK government is held to a different standard to the PL and ultimately not the same level of commercial scrutiny. The PL is far more liable to being sued than the UK government and is ultimately far more exposed. That not be right, or ethical, but it's the reality.

For whatever reason the UK government have (wrongly) in my view elected to arm the Saudi state. They have made the calculation it is necessary for a wider benefit for their interests. It's hard to see what the PL get out of associating with such a regime though? It would distort competition, and create a number of headaches as it tries to expand into other areas. It would also legitimise corruption and theft of it's product, and may have led to losing longstanding financial partners. It's hard to see much material benefit that covers for this.

In all honesty, the defence that the UK government may do a certain thing, would insulate the PL's branding from working with Saudi is for the birds. There doesn't seem to be any evidence they've made this judgement call, but had they have (and just rejected the takeover outright) it would really be hard to make a case that it was not a sensible economic decision for a product that wants to grow into commercial and liberal overseas markets.

I am rubbing my hands at the thought. I am surprised that they haven't been arriving in higher amounts.

It's just bizarre. They got away with it, not being bought by a despotic state that has little interest in anything other than an investment vehicle to milk. But all the insane behaviour since then... wowzers!

The lack of understanding is startling, Just seen one say the longer it goes n the more likely it is to go through. Anyone with any understandign of aquisitions/mergers will tell you, the longer the period whereby a buyer walks away, the more difficult a deal becoems to resurrect and ultimately less likely they are to come back.

If (which I highly doubt) it's a tactic, you don't want 2+ weeks to re-emerge, especially once the momentum starts to drop. It's clear they have drummed up some support, they've even got all of 4 people to go to the PL headquarters to protest (nearly a full car load). If you wanted to re-emerge with the PL put under pressure it ould be done already, or if not very soon.

Its slipping out of the news agenda by the day. I genuinely can't wait to see these go down under Ashley, and hopefully they go the same way as Bury once he's stripped them of the money he's put in for them.

Nobody tempted to find one of their forums and lead a trail of bait here for them?

Oh, no, sorry that is childish and petty behaviour. I for one am above such shenanigans, as are all right-thinking blues. Am I right?

I personally want to test a theory that if angered enough they'd collectively explode with enough power to physically sever England from Scotland. All in the name of (bad) science.
