Our good friends bomb Yemeni civilians with British made weapons and then the British taxpayer is forced to send aid to the very same civilians.
The UK is to increase the humanitarian aid it gives to Yemen to help millions who are suffering in the war-ravaged country, International Development Secretary Priti Patel has said. She told the BBC that the government would spend an extra £37m this year, bringing the total to £100m.
I suspect £100m is a drop in the ocean to the ££billions raked in by said arms sales. I believe we are the world's 3rd biggest arms supplier....The UK is to increase the humanitarian aid it gives to Yemen to help millions who are suffering in the war-ravaged country, International Development Secretary Priti Patel has said.

Fair point.Trump will veto this however at least a debate on Yemen is finally taking place among the American political class. Well done Bernie Sanders and co.
The US Republican-led Senate has approved a bill to end US support for the Saudi-led coalition war in Yemen. The bipartisan vote was 54 to 46, and is a rebuke to President Donald Trump's support of Saudi Arabia and its leader despite recent tensions. Mr Trump has vowed to veto the resolution should it pass through the Democrat-led House.
