3 of that list are dead, one is the stud farm/stable, 1 is a Syrian and the other 2 whilst part of the House of Sard are private owners, not the state.

Edit: didn't see that GOM had said the same

An interesting titbit I know about the Keffiyeh which is the headdress of Arabian men and boys, it is outlawed in Turkey as a sign of support for the PKK, the Kurdish rebel group. And it is also worn in Indonesia as a sign of solidarity with Palestine who also wear it. The colouring being black and white check.

So whilst it is not directly a religious piece of national clothing and is now largely a piece of stylish clothing, not only is it worn in a state known for human rights abuses, it a symbol of support for a rebel group in one country and in another a sign of solidarity with a nation such as Palestine who also wears it given their treatment of people.

You couldn't make it up! 😂

But those that are alive and part of the House of Saud are OK chaps Grumps? They can chuck as much money at it as they like whilst arranging beheadings so long as they're doing it as individuals.

You are aware that there are approximately 15,000 mambers of the house of Saud including about 4,000 princes? Not surprising that one or 2 of them dabble in horse racing.

And again, they are individuals, not the state

Palestine, the country completely ravaged by the west in support of their richer neighbours?

I've seen lots of people say that. Easy to say it when it's a hypothetical. I know men of conviction who have walked away from Newcastle, and men of conviction who haven't. It's naïve to claim that Sunderland fans, as a group, would protest a Saudi takeover if they found themselves in our position.

We wouldn't have cried our eyes out at the PL for it to happen and then claim 'you can't choose your owners'.
