Nominations have already closed - but now's your chance to vote.

Me, I'll be voting for -
BAE Systems for promoting deadly weapons as environmentally friendly.

That's probably why the House of Fraud chose BAE as one of their main suppliers of WMD.

They give us oil and we give them weapons to use against their own people who have funny ideas about wanting to live in a democracy instead of under a Soviet-style American Dictatorship - that's why dictator's need weapons, otherwise they wouldn't be dictators anymore.

I am married to a Saudi lady, the daughter of a former Saudi diplomat. I am not impressed with the Saudi government on any level, not in my interactions with them on a business level, and not as a Muslim in their role as the host of the two holy shrines.

Time for a change. Our government's pandering to them makes me sick.

As we all know here in Scotland, we are just used as a big playpen for NATO - but I didn't know until just recently that we were allowing dictators, who like nothing more than a bit of amputating and beheading, to zoom about our countryside as well, frightening the life out of the locals in low flying jets!

Mind you, I did once see a Hawk Jet in the markings of the Indonesian airforce, down round about that weapons testing airbase near Stranraer. At that time, the British government were claimng these jets they were selling to Indonesia, couldn't be used against the East Timorese, whom the Indonesians were busily subjecting to one of the biggest genocides of the twentieth century (which is sayiong something).

NATO, dictators and genocidists - just what we've always needed in Scotland.
