Labour has called on the UK to suspend the sale of riot control equipment to the United States and review whether any British-made teargas or crowd control guns were being used against demonstrators across the United States.
A question for EmilyThornberry the Shadow International Trade Reduction Secretary. Does that include helmets, visors, shields, gloves, etc also known as personal protective equipment (PPE)
Do we have anything to export? Certainly we can say that if we actually don’t export those stuff to US
But not Saudi Arabia 😂😂😂😂 pathetic
Does that mean free funding?
Halt all weapons sales to Israel!
clueless. EmilyThornberry The equipment is to stop police officers and civil defence getting injured whilst protecting lives and property from marauding criminal elements using the demonstrations for profit by looting or anarchical behaviour.
Halt the sale of riot gear immediately... in case peaceful protestors are prevented from smashing giant forklifts into shops
Ask the families of those killed (2 at last count), the woman who was blinded, the 4 policeman who were shot, the people beaten in the streets and the owners of destroyed property about this.
Labour supporting insurrection - there's a Law against that isn't there? Mr. President - have you heard about this realDonaldTrump
I've seen more looting and assault by white people than those protesting against racial discrimination. Can everyone just not see this? Why is everyone pretending this isn't an organised attack, less related to racism as it is politics? CCPVirus CCP
A “They” wonder why they was humiliated at the polls 😂
What? And miss out on a lucrative trading arrangement for moral reasons? What planet are they on? There will be calls to stop supplying arms to the Middle East and Saudi Arabia next. These people!
Best she goes and stuffs some more cake in that gob of hers
Labour has their finger on the pulse of the key issues facing the UK. FFS it’s like student politicians have taken over
That’s it...I’m cancelling my trip to Leeds
neighbour_kx This is gesture politics. Utterly pointless thing to do The USA will laugh at you This would actually help the Trump administration in its position of strength in any trade negotiations You want to impact on Trump? Tell him the queen says he is no longer welcome in the UK
Emily Thornberry and Labour are missing the point. An embargo of British riot gear would not stop the violence. An embargo of British riot gear would not stop the US police from getting the equipment it wants. Racism is the problem, not commerce.
In this World the TWO greatly hated things with their RANK are!!! 1st POPULATION 2nd The GARBAGE we throw away which is created by factories and other!! Professor Aman Tolla Hamda
Or perhaps don’t. I think perhaps we should stop selling arms to certain regimes before we stop selling shields and helmets!
Absolutely. If Rees Smug and Bozo continue to destroy our already pathetically tattered 'democracy' then the UK police are gonna need all the gear they can get.
'We' won't of course, as so much of 'getting Brexit done' hinged on the belief that the US would be 'our' major economic partner.
Wtf . Labour still not lost that unvotable tone.... thought you were listening...
Arms, weapons of mass destruction are UK key export, economy relies on world killing, suppression, terror
Great idea. Leave the rioters to loot, smash things up and murder people. Nice one Labour!
It’s too f**kin late now isn’t it?
Yes, we need to reduce trade with other countries and lose further jobs with the economy being so strong and unemployment levels of so low!!
Giving the finger to your largest potential trade partner in a Brexit scenario - how clever can Labour be!
Another reason why pointless grandstanding make Labour unelectable. Love it!
US will just create their own. The military complex is huge enough, we don't need to just halt those sales.. we need to end their production.
Lol try winning an election dipshits
Wankers
Won't it be fun when the new 20,000 plod have to rely on B&Q for their riot gear
Is fat Thornberry still a thing?
Why don’t they just disband the police force in the UK first? They expect the police to just gentler talk and kneel to all criminals?
I'm not against protesters, I'm against rioters, I'm not against the police, I'm against the abuse of power, we don't want violence, we want to be listened. WE WANT JUSTICE!
They halt it already or they are just saying it?
I'm sure this is enrage every GI Joe flag-waver in America
When the Hong Kong thuggish police slaughtered Hong Kong people fighting for democracy, none of the left in the West demonstrates for them; when the virus was used by the CCP to massacre all mankind, none of the left in the West demonstrates for them.
