Read your post Jim Carroll - 16 Dec 16 - 08:56 AM


Then read this:

Jim Carroll - 25 Nov 16 - 12:42 PM

You lied when you said you had not denied that a licence had been issued


Now does the following read as if I am denying that an export licence had been issued:

21 Feb 12 - 11:59 AM
18: First mention of snipers shooting at people around the 18th December 2011 a good two years after some private individual received a licence to sell 7.62 NATO ammo to Syria.


How about this "example" put up by yourself:

24 Feb 12 - 01:17 PM
So Jim-Lad,
As far as your original contention that Syrian civilians were being "slaughtered" by British weapons in Homs, what we have so far is this:
1: Britain has sold no weapons to Syria
2: The licence issued to a private arms dealer in 2009 to sell small arms ammunition (or small arms "arms", as you prefer it) was revoked in good time and there is no evidence that ANY ammunition was ever delivered at all.


Sound like a denial that any licence had been issued to you.

AND AGAIN Jim:

25 Feb 12 - 11:18 AM

Where is your proof that they are being slaughtered by British ammunition - you have offered nothing apart from newspaper articles referring to the fact that a licence had been granted, not that anything had actually been sold, or delivered.


WHOOPS and again Jim:
25 Feb 12 - 01:35 PM

So hidden in amongst all that froth:
NO WEAPONS SOLD TO SYRIA BY BRITAIN
NO PROOF WHATSOEVER THAT BULLETS REPORTEDLY SOLD SUBJECT TO A BRITISH EXPORT LICENCE WERE EVER DELIVERED


AND THIS:

18 Mar 12 - 04:10 AM

1: The British Government has sold no weapons to Syria
2: That the 154 export licences issued by the British Government for anything being exported to Syria were all revoked in line with EU rules
3: There are no records of sale or delivery of the ammunition mentioned in your Daily Mail article


Thank you very much indeed Jim for proving so conclusively that at no time at all have I ever denied that an export licence was issued - counter to your claim that I had.

Tell me do you ever actually read what you post, the links you provide or the articles you refer to? Certainly doesn't look like it.
