You really don't get this, do you? Personally, I don't give a toss whether this ammo was delivered or used - it's not the point and it wasn't why I put it up in the first place. The point of all this is that Britain sells arms to some of the most vicious regimes in the world - not because it necessarily because it supports them but for profit. Under consecutive Governments, Britain has reverted back to the old Empire days of poncing off the poorest people in the world to the extent of providing equipment to the regimes that persecute them and keep them poor. British shops are full of goods that are produced in virtual slave conditions making modern Britain part of the modern slave economy Whether this order was sent or not is totally immaterial - what is important is THAT THERE IS NO EARTHY REASON WHY IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN SENT - THAT IS THE TYPE OF BUSINESS OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES ARE INVOLVED IN IN OUR NAME AND THAT IS THE TYPE OF POLITICS YOU AND YOUR LIKE ARE HAPPY TO BREAK YOUR NECK TO SUPPORT You have lied, distorted and contradicted yourself on this single issue - it wasn't sent, it was licenced or not licenced, the licence was withdrawn, the goods were sent but they were for freedom fighters, not for Assad, they were the wrong size, they went too early to be used - every feeble little excuse to defend one order....... Utterly pathetic You refuse to comment on the fact that a leading politician has admitted publicly that chemicals sent to Assad were probably used to a help create a stockpile chemical weapons for a regime that has used them on its own people - a point to be avoided, as far as you are concerned. The relevance of all this to this thread that our politicians have implicated the British people in state terrorism and mass murder - that us UK politics today. I don't give a shit who else deals in these predatory trades - especially as Russia is now one of the 'good guys' - part of the capitalist bloc - these trades are the domain of the wealthy who sell weapons and buy slave-produce goods to increae their wealth and to stay powerful, and their behaviour sucks the life out of the poor, and in doing so, destabilizes the world, making the dangerous place it has become. The only value that you and Keith and Ake and the tiny handful of extreme extremists who share your sick views bring to this thread is as examples of the mindset that is not so gradually destroying this planet Jim Carroll
