    Nothing new if so, the UK has a long record of supplying arms to dodgy regimes which then comes back on UK nationals.

    “I never thought that I would be 
    Fighting fascists in the Southern Sea 
    I saw one today and in his hand 
    Was a weapon that was made in Birmingham”

    _Island of No Return, Billy Bragg, 1983

    I mean, it’s not as if we sell arms to people and then tell them where and when to use them, is it?

      Weapons delivered to Ukraine come with strings attached. For example, the HIMARS and storm shadow missiles can’t be used on Russian territory, and Ukraine keeps to that. Only Israel is allowed to kill Americans with American weapons and Brits with British weapons, no other country would get away with this.

      Did the ore that formed the metals that made up the bombs that killed British aid workers come from Australia? Oh sheeeeeiiiiiitt.
