The only thing wrong with your argument Jom is that I can back up and substantiate everything I have "claimed" - YOU on the other hand CANNOT.

You opened this with your false and ridiculous claim that British weapons were being used to kill civilians in Homs in the Spring of 2012.

Tell us all in what way is Britain (World's fifth or sixth largest exporter of arms) poncing off the poorest people in the world while those nations in First, Second, Third, Fourth and possibly Fifth place ARE NOT.

"British shops are full of goods that are produced in virtual slave conditions making modern Britain part of the modern slave economy"

Simple solution to that one Jom - STOP PURCHASING THEM. The countries that produce those goods are all now independent, probably inspired and prompted by the heroic men of the gun in 1916 like you claimed. Independent means that those people are now governed by politicians they elected and that Britain does not have any influence over them any more, neither do the companies that place the orders. They can insist all they want with regard to wages, conditions, etc, but they can enforce NOTHING - only the consumer can do that.

One thing I do love about your rants Jom - It is always somebody else's fault

Strange that you can witter on at enormous length about the BDS campaign but you do nothing about "goods that are produced in virtual slave conditions" elsewhere.

"THERE IS NO EARTHY REASON WHY IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN SENT" - Well actually Jom, both pdq and myself gave you an excellent EARTHLY reason why that ammunition WOULD not have been sent. An excellent EARTHLY reason as to why the deal DID NOT GO THROUGH - the bullets could not have been fired from the rifles used by the Syrian Army - Or ONCE AGAIN have you missed that rather vital point?
