I'm surprised nobody seemed to raise an eyebrow when BAE just signed than new contract to build Eurofighter for the Saudi's. I can just see it ten years from not "well who sold them the weapons in the first place?"

We shouldn't sell arms to certain regimes. Not as Britain, not as the EU, not as suppossedly 'caring democracies'.

As ever, money talks.

Sorry, who sold what to who now?

And what's this "we" shit? I don't know anything about it, so why am I involved?

This (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4550670.stm) is what I was on about. Happened a while ago now. I was just surprised no-one brought it up at the time.
