Philip Hammond praises 'fabulous' arms trade fair in London
Selling weapons abroad is a top priority for the government,
Philip Hammond, the UK defence secretary, made clear on Tuesday, praising what he called a "fabulous show" displaying "fantastic kit".
It was the opening day of
London Docklands' biennial arms bazaar, the biggest so far with 40 countries, including Russia and Israel, having their own national pavilions, and as many as 1,500 companies offering their wares.
Official guests at the arms show include the governments of Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya - countries that need to build up their armed forces after recent conflicts in which Britain has played its part - as well as such traditional
arms trade allies as Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Comment: Obviously this doesn't tell us everything about 9/11, but it's nevertheless a very good summary of many connections that clearly show the official story to be little more than a Disney fantasy production.
