Not only do you show yourself up time and time again as having lied, but in order to get yourself off the hook you are prepared to drag the reputation of Britain into your gutter by suggesting that any public figure could make such a statement publicly and not only escape prosecution, but would be allowed to continue holding a public position - is that what you are claiming??
Your cut 'n paste
Your cut-'n-paste shows a woman talking about a culture of shame of be abused, not one of a culture (which she says she is proud of) which is implanted to rape young women - you, shamefully, are attempting to use her to get yourself off the hook - squalid as ever!!!
The vst majority of rapes in Britain are never reported because of that shame - nothing to do with being a Muslim

More recently, Guardian August last year,

"Much has been made about the religious background of the offenders in the Rotherham report. But this problem isn't about religion race: it's about a culture where notions of shame result in the blaming of victims rather than perpetrators.

Although painful to read, the Rotherham report presents an opportunity. It's an opportunity for leaders in the British-Pakistani community to stand up and speak out about the sexual and physical abuse in their midst. The Asian community isn't unique in having evil-doers, and the overwhelming majority of its men and women are good people who care about protecting others.

I am and always will be proud of my Pakistani heritage, but I firmly believe community leaders must take responsibility for the fact that the taboos that prevent others from identifying perpetrators and supporting victims enable further abuse. And those taboos must be challenged."

MOSCOW (AP) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has described a secret meeting with officials last year when Russia decided it would take Crimea, the Black Sea region that Moscow annexed from Ukraine last March.

In a trailer for an upcoming documentary, shown on state-owned television late Sunday, Putin said that he met with security officials in February to make plans for saving Ukraine's then-President Viktor Yanukovych, who fled power after months of pro-European protests in the Ukrainian capital.

"We got ready to get him right out of Donetsk by land, by sea or by air," he said. "Heavy machine guns were mounted there so that there wouldn't be much discussion about it."

Putin said that after the meeting he told the security chiefs that they would be "obliged to start working to return Crimea to Russia."

Putin said the meeting took place on Feb. 23, 2014, almost a month before a referendum in Crimea that Moscow has said is the basis for incorporating the region into Russia.

The minute-long trailer was overlaid with dramatic music and sweeping shots of the Crimean coast. The channel, Rossiya-1, didn't specify when the full film would be released.

The Kremlin originally denied that it had sent troops into Crimea, though Putin later announced on state television that Russian troops had been sent in. Yanukovych was safely on Russian soil by late February, when Russia's military was establishing its presence in Crimea.

Now there's a step in the right direction - up to now you have said that nothing has been produced - the list of your excuses gets longer and longer.
Les face it - you really are on a loser here.
There is no reason why arms should not have been sold to Assad from Britain - they were being sold to Qaddafi and being supplied to the rebels - business is business after all!!!
Britain has sold arms to states with appalling human rights records, Saudi Arabia, Israeli, Bahrain...... why not Syria, they have done nothing whatever to bring influence on the Assad regime over the decades of human rights abuses, torture and mass murder - Mrs T, in fact, described such behaviour as her idea of democracy.
You want to prove that the sales didn't take place, or that they were only for harmless purposes (like the chemicals for harmless toothpaste!!) - produce your evidence rather than shovelling bullshit.
You have made a total arsehole of yourself with all the different excuses you have given for trading arms to terrorist and murderous states - it happens all te time
On this matter, Britain is no different than China or Russia, except that, in their case, there seems to be some twisted support for Assad and his regime, from Britain's point of view, trading in death is an essential part of the economy

Forge Masters Musket?

They were under the impression that they were supplying special piping for the Iraqi petro-chemical industry:

That look like a "Gun" to you?

The Iraqi's even have the forethought to export these through Immingham Docks where these components would sit there alongside similar looking spoolpiece components bound for platforms in the UK sector of the North Sea - it was only by chance that they were detected. Remember that Post-Graduate whose work was plagiarised by Tony & Co? That was what his work was about the intricate system of shell companies and fronts that Saddam had set up to get stuff normally prohibited into Iraq undetected.

Matrix Churchill? A Company that made machinery for making machine tools - not weapons. Here is the full story of that in a nutshell, as that seems to be in vogue:

"In the late 1980s, Matrix Churchill, a British (Coventry) aerospace quality machine tools manufacturer that had been bought by the Iraqi government, was exporting machines used in weapons manufacture to Iraq. According to the International Atomic Energy Authority, its products later found in Iraq, were among the highest quality of their kind in the world. They were 'dual use' machines that 'could' be used to manufacture weapons parts. Such exports are subject to government control, and Matrix Churchill had the appropriate government permissions, following a 1988 relaxation of export controls. Crucially, however, this relaxation had not been announced to parliament – indeed, when asked in parliament whether controls had been relaxed, the then-Secretary of State for Trade and Industry replied incorrectly that they had not.
Matrix Churchill was contacted by HM Customs and Excise, under suspicion of exporting arms components to Iraq without permission. It had this permission but this was denied by the government, in line with the most recently announced policy on the matter. Matrix Churchill's directors were therefore prosecuted in 1991 by Customs and Excise for breaching export controls.
The trial did not go well for the government – public interest immunity certificates obtained by the government to suppress some critical evidence (supposedly on grounds of national security) were quickly overturned by the trial judge, forcing the documents to be handed over to the defence. The trial eventually collapsed when former minister Alan Clark admitted he had been 'economical with the actualité' in answer to parliamentary questions over export licenses to Iraq."

Remember Alan Clark Musket he was your "historian" who also admitted on another occasion when he had been economical with the truth - when he admitted that he had invented the "Lions led by Donkeys" conversation between two German Staff Officers.

What sale was registered?? How is that done Christmas?

What was registered was that there was some bloke who thought that he might have a chance of selling something that required an export licence, he applied for and was granted that licence, the fact that he was granted and issued with that licence was the thing that was registered, not the sale associated with it. - Find it rather hard to work out just how you seem to be having such trouble grasping that - it is after all rather plainly stated in all these articles you keep wittering on about.

As for "The British Government sold weapons to Assad" - That is a lie - they didn't.

On Ukraine? Does this sound a bit "deja vu-ish":

1938:
"Immediately after the Anschluss of Austria into the Third Reich in March 1938, Hitler made himself the advocate of ethnic Germans living in Czechoslovakia, triggering the "Sudeten Crisis". The following month, Sudeten Nazis, led by Konrad Henlein, agitated for autonomy."

2014:
"Immediately after the annexation of Crimea into the Russian Federation in March 2014, Putin made himself the advocate of ethnic Russian living in Ukraine, triggering the current crisis in Eastern Ukraine. The following month, pro-Russian and anti-government groups agitated for autonomy."

The current ceasefire is only temporary, the continued fighting at Debaltseve after the agreed ceasefire deadline was, as Putin himself admitted, quite predictable - They needed to capture that city as it is an extremely important transport hub linking the two eastern provinces of Ukraine that Putin has his eyes on. Now having taken that important city the movement and attention shifts to the South and the city of Mariupol, where the Russian Army, sorry Pro-Russian East-Ukrainian Freedom Fighters, are next tasked with fighting their way South-West along the Northern shore of the Sea of Azov so that they can link up with the Crimea - Simples

Once they have liberated that territory they would then continue round the coast to press the rights of Russian speakers in Moldova to sign away their country's independence.

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.
