        One of the largest exporters to Iraq too, that's how we knew they had WMD, we checked the receipts
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          with the depreciating currency it should be a bumper last 1/4 in GBP for the exporters.

            I'll take you down
            to that bright city mile
            there to powder your sweet face
            and paint on a smile,
            that will show all of the pleasures and none of the pain,
            when you join my explosion
            and play with my games.

            WarChild dance the days, and dance the nights away.

            No unconditional surrender; no armistice day ---
            each night I'll die in my contentment
            and lie in your grave.
            While you bring me water and I give you wine
            let me dance in your tea-cup and you shall swim in mine.

            WarChild dance the days, and dance the nights away.

            Open your windows
            and I'll walk through your doors.
            Let me live in your country
            let me sleep by your shores.

            WarChild dance the days, and dance the nights away

              UK would not have received that contract without bribes.

              I don't think UK has got any good weapons made for export anyway, Eurofighter is lost cause.

                Why is that? Did YOU work on the Eurofighter?

                    Take the Eurofighter out of the equation and that'll leave one box of expired fireworks we managed to palm off to a bunch of terrorists somewhere.

                    Still, we've got to stock up the enemy before we can have a go without looking like total bullies.
