"The last Labour government"
And the "last Labour Government" was what..... French, German, Chinese, Russian.....? You appear at long last to be coming around to the fact that a BRITISH GOVERNMENT supported Gadaiffi and supplied him with the wherewithal to kill Libyans - in the form of: combat shotguns, crowd control ammunition, equipment for the use of military communications equipment and shotguns, military communications equipment, military helmets, small arms ammunition, tear gas/irritant ammunition, ammunition for wall and door breaching, projectile launchers, small arms ammunition and more tear gas/irritant ammunition.
What the **** does it matter which govenment it was - especially as Cameron is still pimping military equipment at arms fairs in the Middle East in order to sell to despots, including to Bahrain, whose people took part in 'Arab Spring' protests.
I don't remember any shrieks of protest from the opposite benches at a time when the Libyan deals were being brokered, perhaps you could put up a link to show there was.
I can't help but notice that you have attempted to blank out the part played by Britain in grooming Gadaffi's son to take over from his father - a non-event apparently, as far as you are concerned.
"and, you could acknowledge that your claim that Britain supplied weapons to Syria was made up"
No - it was your claim that what Britain supplied to Syria was "sniper bullets" which either went into the training of the people who are now using them, and/or are being used at the present time on men, women and children in "The Horror of Homs", as you so aptly describe it. I am not aware that Syria has been in a shooting war with anybody recently and could not have used them up other than in training, or actually on their own citizens - what's to acknowledge?
There is nothing whatever "made up" about these facts - they are documented, fully reported and put up on this thread for all to see. You have seen them yourself; you described the equpment supplied as "sniper bullets" - "SMALL ARMS AMMUNITION FOR SYRIA, That would be for the sniper rifles Jim," - you now appear to be dismissing the evidence of your own eyes.
In addition to this YOU HAVE PROPOSED HERE THAT IT WOULD BE PERMISSABLE TO SUPPLY ASSAD WITH "ANTI-RIOT EQUIPMENT (FOR WHICH I HAVE BEEN, IN YOUR OWN WORDS, "BANGING ON ABOUT" FOR YOU TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND JUSTIFT - WITHOUT SUCCESS) THIS IS TANTAMOUNT TO SELLING A DICTATOR EQUIPMENT TO CRUSH A PRO-DEMOCRACY MOVEMENT.
The only "making up" that has gone on here is the suggestion that I have supported Hamas, et al, in order to deliberately drift the thread away from the uncomfortable facts (which you and your three cronies desperately searched for and failed to find - as if it would make the slightest difference to the argument) You were one of the gruesome threesome who lied about this "No. It stands. We all remember you doing it".
The other two slimeballs have had the good sense to slither back into their holes - I suggest you do the same.
