So in summary, there are in fact LOTS of options between Invasion and Accept, but you don't care for them or think they'll cost us money.
I would suggest that he's saying that, while you've provided a multitude of options, none would be considered by the Government as rational ideas
Well I highly doubt our government would consider invading SA over human rights, either, but that's not what he said. We don't have to guess his meaning. He wrote that our only options are either invasion or acceptance. That's blatantly wrong.
Saudi diplomat super concerned for her welfare... not:

He wishes they'd confiscated her phone on arrival instead of her passport...

lol i saw that, what a joke.
So in summary a girl in Saudi Arabia is fleeing her family and country for fear of being 'honour killed' by her family or the state for renouncing Islam and the majority of the corporate media isn't covering it. I wouldn't come to the UK if I was her she's likely to be targetted by grooming gangs whilst in asylum care and the police will blame her.
Probably an economic migrant as well rather than a 'refugee'!
Am I doing this right?
I guess that Canada doesn't have any "defence" contracts with Saudi Arabia involving wholesale slaughter of innocents in YemenA Saudi woman who fled her family and became stranded at Bangkok's main airport is flying to Canada after being granted asylum status.

Canada has previously angered Saudi Arabia after calling for the release of detained women's rights activists in the country - prompting Riyadh to expel Canada's ambassador and freeze all new trade. (BBC LINK)
Nice one Canada!
Quite an amusing little **** you to the Saudis given their recent history
I would not put it past them to murder her when she's in Canada, right in the open. The problem with dealing with Terrorists is that you'll lose regardless.
They're probably already setting up a butchering cell.
For a country like ours to seemingly ignore this girl's plight (she's a renouncer so its not like it's helping a muslim over a christian), over some pitiful idea that our "soft" power in SA is more important... the fact is and always will be that we have zero power of them, they have the UK by the balls. Embarrassing.
And stuff up our economy?
We get about £4 billion from selling our junk to them. They make only half of that back from selling us theirs.
They buy most of their kit from America anyway...
Again, they have plenty of other friends to get that from. We're about to leave all of ours.
Some of us have to drive to work, you know... Not a problem for them, as they own the oil.
All we'd do is drive the price of their oil up, making them richer and other countries upset with us.
Oh, yeah, like that's not going to upset the Saudis.... Thought you wanted to avoid war?
Err... kinda late for that, don't you think?
They already have something like £60 billion invested in the UK. Most of my own company is owned by Kuwait, UAE and Saudi.
We're like 8th or 9th behind several other countries with whom they do far more business. Do you really think us doing anything piddly like this will worry them?
"Significant impact"??!!
Yeah, why don't we throw a few economic sanctions at them too, or perhaps just spank their collective botty and tell them to go sit in the corner for twenty minutes? That'll show them, the rotters!!!
We can't do any of that without stuffing ourselves over as well, hence complicity.
You really think they'll give a flying ****? Or do you think they'll just find someone else to do business with?
If they are breaking international laws or generally being nasty people, you don't simply stop being friends with them, Mister Chamberlain. You have to actually go and stop them from being nasty.
I really don't like The Guardian, but they do occasionally get it right:

Sadly I think you are right, and I think they will want to make an big example of her to stop anyone ever daring to try something similar.I don't think SA cares, the US wont do anything the UK wont do anything Russia wont and China wont... She's never ever going to be safe.
