LONDON – A British court sentenced a Saudi prince to at least 20 years in prison Wednesday for beating and strangling one of his servants at a swank British hotel in a case that featured days of lurid testimony about their abusive relationship.

I can hear that fatwa comin’...
“A British court sentenced a Saudi prince...”
Uh oh...not in keeping with Sharia law...the sacred law of Islam
20 years seems too d-mn light for murder.
send him back to Saudi with a big banner proclaiming him to be gay.
If he was at this own home it would be death for simply being gay. Killing a servant is not a problem
Yeah, - it’s a life sentence without the possibility of parole for 20 years
That was my first thought but it doesn’t hold up. Lots of rich men have cabin boys there. Its homosexual if you are on the receiving end. Its ok to be on the giving side of the equation.
What good is being royalty if the laws apply to you too?
Ah, the religion of pieces.
Whod’a thought?
Waiting for the Bamster to come out with the statement:
“The British court acted stupidly”
(5, 4, 3, 2...)
Nah, princes generally get a pass from that too, as long as they’re not too open about it.
I worked with some “Saudi princes” years back when they were on base.
All said, not a bad lot, for arrogant prick$ - the thing that struck me as absolutely funny - is that each one could tell me *exactly* how far they were in line (XXXX) to be King. And they worked that into the conversation pretty quickly.
“Nice day, eh?”
“I'll have you know I'm XXXX in line to be King”
“Cool stuff spud, now roll up your sleeve”
\And I'm talking 4 digits....\

Oh no we have that here in the UK, you see we’re multi cultural.
Oops...
Ha ha!
Wasn’t it Prince Harry who said, at his 4th birthday party, “When I’m king, I’ll have my knights cut off your heads!”?
There are dark days ahead for UK small “r” republicans, I fear.
