"Jom me little daft geriatric marxist"
Still talking down to people - you won't lear, will you.
Arent you fed up of looking the bollix you are?
"Granting an export licence to a third party is not selling arms"
No - it's knowingly allowing them to go to terrorist regimes - whence the difference
"The "sources" you threw up could not state or substantiate that any ammunition had ever been sold or delivered"
The fact that they
Were granted a licence is the main point - a preparedness of the British Government to arm murderous, torturing scum.
""Shortly before"???"
Doesn't matter when - the Assad regime's record in torture and mass-murder was public knowledge.
Can we shorten this.
Last time - according to you and littler Stanley:
The deal never existed - then it did, but the licence was withdrawn
Then there weren't enough bullets to do any harm.
Then the weapons used by the Syrians weren't of the type to be suitible for the non existent order
Then they were a private order for sporting purposes.
Then granting licenses wasn't selling weapons.
Then the order was too small to have been used on the streets of Homs
Then the British Government would have needed a crystal ball to have known that the Assad regime were interrogating and massacring their opponents.
Then several others
And now - from little Stanley - the order was for another country altogether.
Well - Mr Hardy - I suggest you contact My Laurel, call a site meeting, go back to the drawing board and then draft up a new hymn sheet - and practice, practice, practice.
You have made up every single one of your responses to this disgusting piece of terror trade - even your entertainment value has become boring.
These are nothing but excuses to defend the unacceptable practice of selling instruments of torture and murder to torturers and murderers
It's a waste of time asking why you wade in such sewers and there's no reason to ask which party you vote for.
It really is a waste of time responding to your ignorance and pretended knowledge - I'd stick to trying to improve the fry-ups if I were you.
Pity Monty Python isn't still running - you might have been good for new material
