"Approved" sale of small arms ammunition."
I doesn't mastter if it's approved or not - it has been sold to a state which is massacring its own people.
The fact that it is "approved" only serves to underline the obscenity of an arms trade in which Britain is third in the league.
The subject of "arms sales" was in your original posting - at the present times it is small arms that are being used against the people of Homs - are you really suggesting that it is "thread drift" to point this out.
As for my not caring about Assad's victims - it is you who has suggested he be sold riot control gear,and it is you who has consistently refused to comment on the sale of ammunitionion to him.
Oh, and thanks for the perfect example of how you use "thread drift"
as a way of digging yourself out of a hole of your owm making
Now sit down - head between the knees - deep breaths - relax.
Pip-pip.
