Basically in the UK maintaining a cordial relationship with rich dictatorships (that happen to be former colonies) is more important than rule of law or human rights
Words cannot express how much I loathe the UK government. And not just this government. They didn't think it was enough to colonize us, they turned around the re-colonized us through supporting our dictators.
They went from "we're ruling over you because you're not fit to self rule" to "we're supporting these dictators, they think you're not fit for self rule".
