"I think it OK to offer an alternative to lethal weapons."
Great - down in clear black and white at last
The Amnesty International report is of a regime that has been torturing and oppressing its people for decades - you would allow them to go on doing so by giving them the equipment to do so.
The Bunch of tossers on Question Time said - in so many words, that they would prefer the Assad regime to an alternative (devil you know...) and it is this is what will happen when/if Assad wins - Britain we re-enter normal relations with a regime headed by a war criminal.
Of course you think it ok to provide equipment to maintain the status quo in Syria - you're a friggin' fascist as your previous views have always indicated, and after all - Britain does have to make a living somehow!!
