Hiya
just thought you guys might be interested to know that the worlds biggest arms fair has been happenning at the ExCel centre in London's docklands all this week.
Its organised & paid for by the Defence Export Services Organisation, a part of the UK government that employs 600 people & exists solely to promote UK arms sales abroad (yes we DO live in a capitalist dictatorship).
DESO also executes a policy to ensure that if any foreign parties default on their arms payments, the UK taxpayer pays the difference
Policing DSEI costs £6 million, and is also paid for by the taxpayer, even though all profits are made by private compnies. If you think about it, the majority of arms are paid for by taxpayers, as they are usually bought by governments.
there's been alot of protests, indeed I had my skateboard pinched by Superintendent Alan King of 'strategic planning ring' yesterday night, and am currently in the process of trying to get it back.
there's a whole load of coverage of the protests online at www.indymedia.org.uk
& protest info at www.dsei.org
UK protest calendar at protest.net/imcuk/
remember - your rights will slowly disappear down the plughole unless you stand up for them!
We are protesting for the people who are unable to protest - they're in Iraq being shot at by British & American soldiers, and UK taxpayers are making it happen!
