Oh, well, that's OK then!
 
Pragmatism always trumps morality.
 
Except the Germans banned military sales to Saudi Arabia. I guess they are not quite as desperate as the British 

What you mean like you are to put us down over Brexit all the time? [emoji4]

You'll need to re-phrase your insult.

 

If you are pro-Brexit, I don't need to "put you down". It is so obviously a bad idea that no sensible person supports it as you well know.

It was not an insult. Just a statement, you are making the "insult"by saying that none of us that support Brexit are sensible.
