Originally posted by Hrolf The Ganger WE know that weapons are generally purchased with use in mind for sure but your view point is born from the idealistic notion that people will stop killing if you stop selling them weapons. They won't, and for the umpteenth time let me repeat that others will sell them weapons instead. It is therefore pointless to stop selling weapons for national profit on moral grounds. So why are we not selling arms to ISIS when they would evidently be such a reliable customer? If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4

He'd find out, very rapidly, that quitting the arms industry would be completely untenable. I "shout him down", as you call it, because what he says is utterly naïve and unrealistic. Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

How ever you spin it, there is an economic and strategic reality about it that cannot be ignored in the real world. It is not advantageous to allow your rivals to sell arms instead of you. The same people will still die.

Watch the episode of Yes Minister called "The Whisky Priest". It explains the attitude of government towards the armaments business. It's as valid and relevant now as it was then. I've even got a link to save you looking. [Link] Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

I hope not, but they might have acquired British weapons second hand so to speak. The point is it doesn't really matter where they got them because they got them. There is no shortage of arms dealers.

Nick gusset and Kermit must be prematurely popping the socialist champagne right now. Exit poll predicts a hung parliament. But we know how inaccurate polls are with shy (embarrassed) Tory voters. COYP

Looks like it is going to be a very interesting night indeed. May could be the shortest serving PM ever which would be bloody marvellous. Don't think even Tory voters are convinced by her at all.
