Oman 'wants to buy' Eurofighter planes from the UK

[mcgillianaire]

Oman rarely makes BBC headlines. It's rarer still when they make it to the Beeb's 10 most popular stories. Mais quelle surprise? The country with one of the world's highest military expenditures as a percentage of GDP, has *knocked* on 10 Downing St for some fighter jets. There are just so many things wrong with this story, I can't even be bothered to get into it. But the best bit is where the PMs spokesman says the sale will help secure British jobs. Though it seems he forgot to say whether these would be for British workers. An oversight perhaps? :)

Are the omanis going to be labelled TERRORISTS now? I predict a riot (in the Daily Mail or some other crappy tabloid)
