I’m something of a logician by trade, Barry. With a due sense of dread and foreboding, would you like to explain your logic?
Point out the glaring conflicts and inconsistencies instead of making a vague judgement and calling it a day?
I think you’re wasting your time here. I think you should work for the medieval version of BAE and spend your time crafting halberds for the Byzantine empire.
That’s how it worked back then, right? Naïve to think otherwise 
So can the Houtis buy arms or not? Could they buy them from the British would you object? Or as they’re small and can’t manufacture arms just have to sit there and be shelled?
What don’t you understand?
I said that the UK should not be in the arms business, except for supplying itself.
If that ever happened, other countries are still available and perfectly willing to sell weapons to whomever might be scrapping.
These two positions are not mutually inconsistent. I have no idea why you think they are.
