Well if we didn't do it somebody else would, as they used to say at the Auschwitz staff meetings -
It turns out that, in 2009, we British sold 25.5 million euros' worth of military equipment to Gadhafi's Libya. Or at least we applied for the licences to export it.
This gear included 210,795 euros' worth of "chemical, biological weapons, tear gas, radioactive materials".
But that was in the bad old days of Labour government. Our current Prime Minister wants nothing to do with dictators. Unless, that is, they bear the additional title 'king', as in Sa'udi Arabia and Jordan. Emir is OK too, because Dave thinks it's Arabic for 'democrat'.
