It is a habit that has become an addiction that defies any number of truth vaccinations. Britain, or rather its ruling elite, after putting its army boots on over 200 of the world’s 222 nations is still shedding the blood of other races.

Among the biggest recipients of British arms are Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Libya, where high-profile officials have been put on the UK’s sanctions list over violations of human rights, or trade was restricted with them for the same reason.

Of course, it is not a violation of human rights to incinerate, shred and evaporate those who get in the way of the arms manufacturers ringing tills and the elite’s investments in the foulest industries of all time. Yes, the same dirty crew who want to save your lives with vaccinations.

A new report has (once again) demonstrated double standards on part of the Westminster regime (let’s call it what it is) when it comes to trade with foreign countries.
These countries include Egypt, Libya and Saudi Arabia, featured in the 30 Human Rights Priority Countries list, published by the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office in November 2020, which makes them eligible for the UK’s Global Human Rights sanctions regime.

Apparently, when it comes to billions in trade and geopolitical interests, the UK government permits itself to act independently. As such, 21 out of these 30 human rights abusers have received weapons and military hardware from the UK, while 58 out of 73 countries subject to restrictions by the Department for International Trade (DIT) have received military equipment from London.

Weapons sold by the United Kingdom have not simply sat idle, being actively used in such conflict regions as Yemen, where the Saudi-led coalition has been fighting Houthi rebels since 2015: more than half of the military aircraft licensed to the Saudis has in fact been used in Yemen.

‘Right now, UK-made weapons are playing a devastating role in Yemen and around the world. The arms sales that are being pushed today could be used in atrocities and abuses for years to come’, Andrew Smith of the CAAT told the Guardian, echoing rising calls from British activists to end arms trade with the Saudi Kingdom.

Simultaneously, this spring, Boris Johnson came under fire when the opposition pressured him to explain why the government decided to cut its humanitarian aid to Yemen while continuing to sell arms to Saudi Arabia. And in June, ex-Labour leader Jeremy Corbin called in the UK government to cease arms trade with Israel, saying that British weapons are killing children abroad.

Back in January, Murray Jones of Action on Armed Violence said that the UK’s arms sales demonstrate what he called ’a systemic failure to consider the human rights record of states before exporting weapons to them’.
According to an analysis conducted by the London-based Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT), between 2011-2020 the UK sold over $20,000,000,000 (billion) of arms and military equipment to third countries it has itself criticised over human rights violations, while they have also been subjected to arms embargoes and other forms of restrictions.
