Right - no back-up evidence; that seems to have established that Terrytoon's list was an invention of Dumber and/or Dumbest
"That Syrian civilians were currently (February 2012) being "slaughtered" by British weapons in Homs."
I forgot - sniper bullets are not weapons (just as white phosphoros is not chemical, or Agent Orange is only week-killer - just "weapon facilitators" or "missiles" maybe - I'll try to remember that in future - I'm sure it will give comfort to the mother who saw her baby shot though the head.
"they are not even being "slaughtered" by British ammunition."
You seem to have an unusually disturbing knowledge of Syrian armory - a letter from a friend in high places, maybe - oh, I forgot, you're one of those penis-substitute shooters, aren't you?
"Thought this bit was absolutely priceless:"
Didn't suggest a single source, but there is a possibility (probability at the beggining of the suppression) that the ammunition used could have been British - or, as with Syria, do you know something we don't?
both sides were using British supplied weapons
"the UK Government had approved the export of goods including tear gas and crowd control ammunition and sniper rifles to Bahrain and Libya".
"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."
"BRITAIN is secretly arming Libyan rebels with missiles and rocket ¬launchers to help defeat Colonel Gaddafi, it was claimed last night."
Hilarious!!!!!
"Truth is lots of countries who manufacture arms do that"
Oh, that's all right then - let's sell some more to Denis Mugabe!
"claiming it to be 'harmless').""
Keith's "that would be sniper bullets" was an explanation for Britain having sold small arms ammunition to Syria, and your claiming that the Syrians paid so much for ammunition that could not be used by their military.....
As you say, "classic".
"Fifth behind the USA; Russia; Germany & France."
Depends which particular chart you refer to - ranges between second and fifth over all.
"I can recall on the subject of the separation of Northern Ireland"
Good job Keithie isn't here to whinge about "thread drift
You are now coming over as a 'gun-bore' not unsimilar to a 'wine-bore' or a 'golf bore' - do you go to bed in your camouflage jacket?
