“Do the right thing, Do the right thing, Do the right thing”

As PRDave’s words echoed across the Middle East, he and his peace delegation of arms manufacturers and defence contractors have provided the politically and economically downtrodden of the Arab world a beacon of hope.

Taking advantage of photo opportunities with democratically appointed Egyptian generals PRDave held talks with the head of the armed forces supreme council, Defence Minister Mohamed Tantawi, and Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq.  Doubtless PRDave gave them tips of how to solve the problem of youth unemployment, and with a little help from his friends how to provide education and the health to the masses.

Representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's popular Islamist group was unable to attend due to previous engagements.

PRDave doubtless thinking ahead of how to defend the peoples revolution against hordes of Arabs not doing the right thing argued that it was "very much in Britain's interests" that the UK continued to promote defence relationships with countries in the region.

He said: "Britain has a range of strong defence relationships with countries in the region.  "So the idea that Britain should not have defence relationships with some of these countries I don't understand. It is quite right that we do.

Desperate to ensure that the various generals and colonels do the right thing PRDave’s party included ex PM John Major Chairman of Carlyle Europe, 2002-2005. the second largest private investment group in the world, which has major investments in the arms industry.  Currently Major's business interests are listed as: Senior Advisor to Credit Suisse; Chairman of the International Advisory Board of the National Bank of Kuwait; Chairman of the European Advisory Council of the Emerson Electric Company, St. Louis; and Chairman of the Advisory Board of Global Infrastructure Partners.  Doubtless Major was there to encourage Egypt to promote more facilities for cricket.

Others in his a large delegation from business and industry, included eight representatives of defence firms attempting to secure contracts in the Gulf States. Among them were: Ian King, chief executive of BAE Systems; Alastair Bisset, group international director at QinetiQ; one of the world's leading defence technology and security companies. and Rob Watson, regional director of Rolls Royce.

Surely a peace delegation that would intimidate any unruly mob of troublemakers.
