"I think that we should be allowed to discuss uk politics."
I'n not usually in to this sort of thing, but as you make a habit of it, isn't this "thread drift"
You opened this thread on arms, it is now apparent that you did so to divert the subject of arms sales - one of the most contentious aspects of UK politics, away from your other thread of - UK politics.
You really can't have it both ways and shift an important aspect of UK politics out of harms way
Terrorism is at the top of the list of world problems today - some of us believe that arms sales exacerbate unrest and involve so many other subjects - including immigrants and refugees
You can't comparmentalise these discussions into your own personalised comfort zones (having failed miserably to censor them   
Your previous posting is utter gibberish
Democracies don't go to war with one another!!!
Divide weapons int repressive and non-repressive ones and specify what they should be used for!!!!
Are you mad?
Until we come to an agreement with all the people we share this planet with, even if it is only to agree to disagree with how each nation chooses its future, the lives o our childern and our children's children will continue to be at risk.
Please stop trying to manipulate discussions tio suit your own personal tastes
