"Summing up - we have a licence that was invented by the press and later rescinded, but was issued but the order was never fulfilled but was for ammunition that was sent to a private buyer too early to be used on the streets of Homs"


"Licence invented by the press" - Where have I stated that, or is that just more of YOUR "made-up-shit"? - Another Jim Carroll baseless accusation.

All export licences issued by the Department for International Trade covering ALL exports to Syria were revoked in October 2010 - FACT.

There is no proof or evidence that any ammunition was ever sent to Syria.

Intrigued by this bit though Jim - as it conclusively does prove that you do not really understand anything that is clearly written - "ammunition that was sent to a private buyer too early to be used on the streets of Homs"

Points related to the above:
1: A private individual who deals in arms and ammunition applied to the British Government for an export licence to SELL £30,000 worth of standard NATO 7.62x51mm ammunition to the Syrian Government.

2: I doubt very much if Bashar al-Assad and the Ba'ath regime in Syria would allow any private citizen in Syria to buy £30,000 worth of small arms ammunition.

You really do not have a clue do you? Stick to the 1954 definition of what is a "Folk Song", hero worship of Ewan MacColl and the songs of Walter Pardon - you're on safe ground there.
