"I don't remember any shrieks of protest from you either Jim."
They didn't think to ask me Keith - if they had have done I would have ordered them to stop selling arms to fascist dictators immediately, but there you go!!!
"I don't remember you ever criticising Libya....."
I don't remember you criticising Viet Nam, Korea, The Wars of the Roses, the Seige of Waterford......
I don't remember the subjects ever coming up - perhaps you'd like to point out where I participated in any such discussions and supported any of them - you have failed dismally to do so over Palestine.
I have never supported a religious-influenced regime as you have lyingly claimed - you, on the other hand fanatically supported the terrorist state that has helped massacre thousands of refugees, ethnic cleansed villagers out of their homes, annexed land, built a Berlin-type wall through Arab homesteads, attempted to starve and and humiliate a whole people with a blockade, slaughter aid workers, used heavy artilery and chemical weapons in built-up areas.... and attempted to sell nuclear warheads to a racist regime at the time as they, the South African apartheid regime, were slaughtering schoolchildren.
You continue to push a thread-drift, having whined endlessly about others doing so (when we haven't) in order to avoid justifying, explaining or even acknowleging the support for despotic regimes with supplys of military equipment - which is the subject you started with this thread.
Answer or refute one single point I have made about Britain's involvement in the arms trade - don't thread drift - the Arab Spring countries will do nicely thank you.
