David Cameron Gun Slut


Excellent post by Chicken Yoghurt, British politicians Labour and Tory are just pimps for arms dealers.

Cameron's weapons tour of the Middle East is particularly sick given the timing.

Is chicken yoghurt really vegan? Perhaps I thinking too much.

So, following Cameron’s logic, it’s cool to flog things that kill people to countries as long as they’re on an ‘open and participatory’ trajectory. If people get killed or maimed on the journey? Let’s not think about that. That British weapons seem to be being used to prevent states becoming ‘open and participatory’ rather than being used to usher in democracy and universal values has passed the Prime Minister by.

Still, that being his argument, presumably we can look forward to the glorious day when these regimes are fully ‘open and participatory’ and are no longer firing British bullets and tear gas at peaceful protesters. Where and at who will the final British bullet be fired? Will there be a prize, a certificate maybe, for that person if they survive? BAE Systems could run a spot-the-ball style competition.
