In its trumpeting of Britain’s global “soft power” influence, the government’s Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) unveiled on Monday contains a glaring contradiction.
More than once, it stressed the importance of promoting “our values and interests ”, promoting “stability, good governance and human rights”, and “civil liberties”.
Twenty pages on, the document says the UK will continue to work with close allies, including “vital partners, such as Saudi Arabia, in the Middle East”.
