Lest we forget...

..."New figures published today by UK Trade & Investment’s Defence and Security Organisation (UKTI DSO) show that UK defence exports totalled £8.8 billion over the past year, a rise of 62% from 2011 in a global market that grew by 45%.
   These results mean the UK maintains its position as the second most successful defence exporter after the United States. As in 2011, the UK continues to benefit from a strong defence supply chain, which contributed to the success in 2012."

..."What is the UK government going to do in the face of mounting evidence that the Saudi Arabian-led air attacks on Yemen appear to be in breach of international law?
   In the year since the bombing began in March 2015, the UK has sold £3.3bn in arms to Saudi Arabia. That is a huge boost for UK exports – the deal is for fighter planes and components, as well as bombs and missiles."
