Hell no, I just meant following through with what the schoolkids did smile
If I was a schoolkid doing this for a project and suddenly some doo gooding teacher told me, no, we arent really going to do it, we were just making a point.

Well...Id be sodding annoyed watching several million quid waltz off just because of some bloody lentil munching moralist.

Its a dying breed now that so many of Middle East dictators have been overthrown. Better ask that nice Mr Blair for his little black book of contacts.....

Deleted last line just in case. Never know who reads these posts.

No no your perfectly safe as its well known within certain circles that Mr Blair isn't the saint he'd like to portray himself as.

There is nothing sanctimonious about objecting to the trafficking of arms.

Nothing makes me more ashamed to be British than our government’s persistent desire to militarise the world.

1. Move to Russia or Ukraine.
2. Get to know other arms dealers - this could be tricky.
3. Agree to represent them in Africa.
4. Move to a politically volatile country in Africa.
5. Stir things up a bit.
6. Sell them guns.

Repeat steps 4-6 until you're dead or retired.

If you can't be bothered to do all that, become a politician.

Knowing an arms dealer it was something they fell into over a good few years, a long time ago..

I'd imagine with all the licensing issues these days it's not the sort of thing that you'd be able to start tomorrow.

Then there's the knowledge, contacts etc.. You can only learn so much.

Like I said, retaining your moral high ground is expensive and lonely.

There is nothing illegal in arms sales whether it be the state or individuals, morality is a point of view and depends on your lens.

I once sold some edged weapon antiques to a buyer in Germany.
I'd like to think that I could add 'International Arms Dealer' to my CV and not be lying biggrin
