"The UK Government prioritises the interests of arms companies – it makes a mockery of claiming to have a rigorous approach to arms sales. People in the Middle East are dying in an attempt to get democracy and yet Cameron and other ministers are still selling weapons used to oppress them."

David Cameron became the first world leader to visit Egypt since the political impotent and demented Hosni Mubarak was ousted from power.Mr SHAM-eron took along eight British Arms firms on his trip to promote democracy in the Arab world.They include top bosses from BAE, Rolls-Royce, QinetiQ, Cobham Group,Ultra Electronics,Atkins,Babcock International and Thales. Cameron's visit with Arm dealers in tow shows gross disrespect to memories of hundreds of dead Egyptians massacred a few weeks ago in their fight for democracy (with arms most likely procured from the West). Dust has barely settled on graves, mourning still goes on for those who lost loved ones yet SHAM-eron is already quick to secure the sale of more arms to Egypt. His scandalous behaviour is no different from a widow/widower having intimate liaisons with others as the dead partner lays cold dead in a coffin next door.
The defence minister Gerald Howarth along with 50 British companies are currently attending an Arms exposition in the UAE also attended by Libyan officials.While hundreds lay lying in cold blood in the streets of Libya, Britain is attending and perhaps even negotiating more deals in the arm trade. Are you sick to your stomach at the morbid actions of men in the upper political echelon because I am such that no amount of anti-emetic can offer relief.
Just this afternoon, SHAM-eron gave a speech from Kuwait denouncing the attacks and violence in Libya as "completely unacceptable" A violence indirectly promoted by the sale of arms & ammunition from Britain to Libya Mr Prime Minister!. The last few days have seen mass carnage of Libyans as they dared stood up to GaddaFIRE's 42 year old tyrannical despotic rule.Britain has been involved in the trade of arms to Libya since 2004 and just as recently as the last general elections sold tear gas, sniper riffles and crowd control ammunition to Libya. The hyprocrtical message of democracy Britain appears to promotes is enough to knock senseless any democracy activist with anger and gross disbelief.
If world leaders have peace and democracy as top priority over shady oil deals with autocratic regimes; there will be an immediate end to the sale of firearms to authoritarian,oppressive regimes in Middle Eastern and African countries. The real terrorists are political brain dead inept tyrannical leaders from these nations set loose to run amok like mad dogs, just because they possess oil rich land fields and other natural reserves.
