Shopping for weapons

So, what do these arms traders look like? Tall-ish, greying white men in grey suits, with grey shoes and briefcases. They have steely faces with iron expressions. They look like they need to go out more, perhaps smell some flowers and, above all, unclench their buttocks.

The tube station was full of people like this heading to the arms jumble sale in ExCeL. They disgusted me. Just like the copper who sneered at a lady this morning explaining the unecessarily large police presence was there because they expected 'protesters' later. He practically spat on her saying the word protesters.

It's a crazy world where the ones selling tanks and missile are the good guys!
