I’m sure they were loving it that Labour lied through their teeth under oath, which caused the deaths of millions of non English people.

I use the term non English because Labour supporters seem fine that their party caused the deaths of millions of people from the Middle East but are in uproar about the deaths in England due to Covid.

We have been a major arms supplier to all sort of regimes over many decades and still are. What is your view on Yemen or don’t they count because it is only the weapons and expertise we supply which has resulted in the death of many civilians.
We intend to trade with any country regardless of their human rights record what do you think of that. I would not be surprised if we are all over China for a trade deal don’t you.

Depends whether they were a Sunni or a Shiite? They have only be fighting each other for 12,000 years - why did we think Sadaam would become a threat to world order - seriously?

Every civilised economy in the world wants to do a deal with China - if you didn't want to do trade deals with countries that abuse their citizens you would be pretty limited in who you could trade with. Any Muslim country would be out of the question, most of Africa the same, does the Caste system in India fall into that? Russia - where is left?

We supply weapons to virtually every country in the world - are you suggesting we cease doing this because some despots use them to maintain order/control?

Just leaving that there.

Lmao. You all realise that Labour gave weapons to Indonesia to use on their own people don’t you? Oh and Labour also supplied Iraq with weapons back in the day. Also supplied China with weapons when they were under a EU embargo for arms. What about when Labour supplied Israel’s weapons for close to 10 years when they were bombing neighbours for no reason. Or when they supplied Pakistan with bombs to bomb innocent people in India.

Typical Labour supporters. Have no clue whatsoever. As I’ve said before, this is why no one votes for Labour. The scummiest party ever and thankfully people realise it.

I know you should just ignore the troll but one can only assume the poster currently known as Steph votes for the Green party or CND representatives, or the Lib Dems.

He's so anti-capitalist and anti-weapons sales that he couldn't possibly vote Tory.

Absolutely stand by that comment - any religion that consider females less valuable than males is an issue for me, any religion that accepts honour killings as acceptable again is an issue for me. Any religion that thinks intimate physical relations between the same sex is punishable by death is also an issue for me - I am leaving that there.

No private companies will have supplied weapons to potentially lethal despots whilst Labour were in government but I doubt very much that the Labour party increased their funds by selling a few rifles and grenades.
