Irony isn't the word you were looking for:

€śThese terrible figures expose the hypocrisy at the heart of UK foreign
policy. The government is always telling us that it acts to promote
human rights and democracy, but it is arming and supporting some of the
most repressive regimes in the world. The impact of UK arms sales is
clear in Yemen, where British fighter jets and bombs have been central
to the Saudi-led destruction,€ť

You can climb off your high horse any time now.
