"They bought sniper rifle ammunition"

Ehmmm NO Christmas they didn't, not unless you can tell me who's got the receipt of payment (The British Government most certainly hasn't).

All we do know is that at some time three years before Bashar al-Assad started the current programme of democide against his own population (Using mountains of arms and ammunition supplied to him by Russia, China and Iran), a private individual, an independent third party (Not the British Government), sought to sell a minute qualtity of standard NATO 7.62mm ammunition to Syria, the Labour British Government of the day granted this individual an export licence - That Christmas old son is all we know - we do not know if any transaction ever took place, or if anything was ever delivered.

Do you actually believe everything you read in the newspapers or the guff dished up by MSM? You appear to only do so when whatever it is supports your rather narrow outlook on life.

Currently there is a classic example of Press misreporting:

Hands up everybody who thinks that Harrison Ford was involved in a plane crash as reported by MSM and splashed all over the news and press?

As a fairly experienced pilot, Harrison Ford would be disgusted with the inaccuracy of that description, and quire rightly - After having successfully pulled off a remarkably difficult emergency landing.
