"Amnesty reports have suggested athat, along with the sniper ammunition, armoured cars, riot control equipment and chemicals which have seen sold to Assad by Britain, some of the electrical equipment (for peaceful purposes, of course) has been used to torture prisoners of the regime." - an old chesnut of Jim Carroll's

Liked the complete and utter lie that these items had been "sold to Assad by Britain"

The British Government sold nothing, they granted export licences to private companies, absolutely no evidence that the standard NATO 7.62mm ammunition (tiny quantity) sale ever went through, the "armoured cars" Jim refers to were in fact armoured buses to transport police, while they may have been "armoured" in terms of glass and body-work they were not "armed" (no guns), chemicals? Sodium Flouride which is used in the maanufacture of cosmetics and the last licence expired in 2010, and is Jim really trying to tell us that Syria or any other nation for that matter should be denied electricity on the basis of what it might be used for? All this lot sold months before Assad Junior started slaughtering his citizenry with light and heavy weapons supplied by the shipload, month in and month out by Russia and China (Yet for some weird reason Jim doesn't single them out for condemnation)

No grasp of detail and no sense of perspective Jim - sad - same old shit.
