They won’t though. Profit is everything while lives mean nothing. Remember the arms deals with Saudi? Watch them protect white supremacy at all costs 😡

The other stuff not so much but surely riot shields are pretty key for multiple purposes. What are police meant to do? Just stand there and let people do as they please?

The USA is by far the UK's biggest trade partner when it comes to Air/Gas guns and truncheons. Worth $0.1124bn more than its next biggest trade partner in these items.

From who?

That would be a act of war

If the UK only send help that’s not for the citizens of the US but that of weapons I believe British citizens should hit the streets. This is not ok. We are watching and if you do that, you’ve lost your seat at the table to be a moral compass for anyone.

I say arm both sides, double your profit and back the winner.

Sue the UK government for supporting a tyrannical oppressive Regime in the US. SANCTIONUS CivilWar2020

If UK send any help UK citizens must hit the streets in protest! ✊🏿BlackLivesMatter DictatorTrump TrumpIsARacist TrumpOut2020

Anything for money Ehhhhhhh !!

Too funny. It is only a matter of time that UK would need to suspend export of riot equipments to herself.

lol stfu Commies. I’d like to hear what you have to say about China and Hong Kong. And police in the US fall under purview of the state, not the office of the President. Nice try.

Tear gas is a chemical weapons band item ? Why is this country alwed to make the stuff let alone flog it if it’s band on a battle field in war .. We all know London is full of war criminals but with a free pass to trade look ?

That's ok, there's plenty of water here.

Why. A sale is good for GDP

Well, no prob. Just remember that when you need our help, which will be long before we need yours

Lol, as if the U.S. needs to import weapons of all things.

I am sure the US is quite capable of making it’s own

Time for sanctions

That will be the day.

Tom_Fowdy Human rights suspend it.

泪目,原来嘤国才是真正的自由民主的灯塔

Yes!!!!

What is this nonsense

What my President has done, was nothing less then a Human Rights Violation under International Law.

Do they export to other dictators though? Wouldn't want to be hypocrites....

Clacton-on-Sea: 'British common sense is saving us from Covid, not the government'Sunbathers in seaside town adamant that if lockdown works, it won’t be because of confusing and ‘hypocritical’ official advice Govt inept and lying. People lack common sense. No wonder covid cases remains high in thousands per day. Have u ever heard so much crap in all your life from one crooked media outlet ? Guardian of who the loony left ?

It’s hurting us.
