"Britain has sold no weapons to Syria..... et al"
As this comes with no proof whatever we can only assume it to be the self-serving guesswork of a gun-toting perv who gets it off on hurling obscenities at the dead and/or a feeble minded racist who tells lies.
This shipment of ammunition is shrouded in mystery, with virtually no information on it other than an official acknowledgement of its existance and the fact that it was granted a licence - indicating that Britain is not particularly proud of who it sells arms to (certainly not as proud as the two boyos here who have expended a fair amoung to energy defending the shipment and claiming it to be 'harmless').
Whatever it was, it should never have been sold to a notoriously murderous regime which is possibly now using it to slaughter demonstrators, along with other equipment supplied by Russia and China - as I have said repeatedly, there is nothing to choose between any of them as arms suppliers other than the type of weapons and equipment supplied.
In spite of mammoth efforts on Keith's part to steer clear of the consequences of all this, which will remain long after the slaughter has stopped in Syria - the real question is - who should any arms producing power sell its products to - Britain is third in the world in that arms trade.
Some facts about the Arab Spring:
It began in Tunisia in December 2010.
Egypt joined in in January 2011 (Britain sold £6m worth of arms to Egypt in 2009 and £27m worth in 2010)
Libya became involved in February:
"Ministers approved the export of sniper rifles, bullets, tear gas and other 'crowd control' ammunition to Tripoli shortly before the murderous dictator ordered his military to crush a pro-democracy uprising...
This meant that not only were demonstrators being put down by equipment supplied by Britain, but also Libyan Government forces and rebels were killing each other with weapons from the same source.

"Mr Cameron said he could not understand why anyone would oppose his attempts to boost British defence sales in such a volatile region"
Daily Mail
In February last year David Cameron took part in an arms fair designed to sell weapons to customers such as Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia... and other 'democracies!! (Bahrain was one of the early targets of Arab Spring demonstrators)
As Vince Cable said "We do trade with governments that are not democratic and have bad human rights records. We do business with repressive governments and there's no denying that".
BRITAN SELLS ARMS TO REGIMES THAT KILL AND TORTURE THEIR OWN PEOPLE -AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO WHILE APPEASERS OF SUCH BEHAVIOUR LIE AND JUSTIFY TO COVER THE FACTS UP
