To hell with him and the Saudis...

Awful family, horrific country to be unfortunate enough to live in.

The sooner all those fundamentalist loopers are dead the better.

Oh, he'll get his 40 virgins alright, pity nobody told him the virgins are all men.

The only way this news could be improved is if Robert Mugabe also died today.

And you had him, Abdullah and Leon Brittan in your celebrity death league

One of the most repressive regimes in the world, and Obama & Co fawning over him. Pretty sick really, but not surprising.

The hypocrisy of western leaders lining up to big up this guy. A brutal country. The sooner 'we' are free of oil the better.

I've read that his brother Salman, who replaces him as king, suffers from Alzheimer's and sometimes cannot even remember his own name.

Still a better leader then Kenny.

I sincerely looking forward to seeing Saudi Arabia get consumed by the deserts and absorbed into the volatility of the rest of the Middle East once their oil's gone, and the West couldn't give two ****s about them after.

Have you lived under Saudi rule then conorhal ? If you would call "disappearing" or mutilating anyone who disagrees with your regime or policies a better form of leadership than our own albeit imperfect democratically elected one, then good for you! Our little state is in the halfpenny place in the corruption stakes when compared with the Saudi " oil is power" regime. Anyone for Saudi style democracy here then ?

When's the removal

endacl · 23-01-2015 11:40AM

The dead king was 90. His son, the new king is 79. Just how fcuked up is Saudi society, that young fellas are producing their first son a ELEVEN YEARS OLD?!?!?!?

Me too and it'll be well deserved. They make the world a less safe place.

I retract my comment, but not the implication that Saudi society is fcuked up.

And they're supposedly the "pinnacle" of what a Muslim community is.

Eh, I think Saddam Hussein invading Kuwait and then threatening Saudi Arabia had more to do it than some internal tank movements.

Faked satellite photos and fabricated claims by the House of Saud were added to the list of excuses along with imaginary babies being thrown out of incubators.

As it so happens, I have lived under Saudi rule, for 3 years. It did less damage to my sense of humor then being FG apologist it seems......

If you haven't already, read "House of Bush, House of Saud".
