Britain became the world’s largest arms exporter last year, according to government figures released yesterday, overtaking the US which normally occupies the top slot.

At last, we’re in the top slot for something other than teenage pregnancies and heart attacks.

The Americans aren’t gonna like it, because doesn’t 33 per cent market share constitue a monopoly…?

Ooops, nearly forgot the hat-tip to Liberal Conspiracy
