Fluent Inc had their European HQ in Sheffield targeted by anti-war protestors because they are an exhibitor at the DSEi arms fair in London next week.
Protestors barricaded themselves in the main entrance revolving door, scaled the entrance canopy to drape a Fluent Deal in Death banner and two protestors locked themselves to the front door with d-locks.
Previous Sheffield DSEi actions include a protest in the city centre and public meeting.

The action today (lockons and tripods obstructing arrival of tanks etc) got 2.5mins on ITN local london news. There have been a couple of articles, finaly triggered by MET police press work warning of possible violence and disruption (why oh why do the corporate media have to wait for the bloody police to warn of a protest like this before they print an article??) - see earlier bbc and independent articles. Also guardian on cluster bombs - but not even mentioning the protests!DSEi Arm-Tube Blockade at Excel Monday 1st Sept

The real cost of LIFE!

Could some free reported contact Dr.Mohammed Al-Obaidi for further clarifications?The figure of 37,137 (31/08/03) is of purely civilian casualties and consistent with the nature of the illegal and babaric invasion, level of violence and media censorship.
The most notable one for us is the governorate of Basra 2009 slaughtered. Contrary to recent patterns (eg: Bosnia) whereby the hero worship of the armed thuggery is splashed all over all we have is Alistair/Kelly/Hutton hoodwink. Even the pig Terry Lloyd case is not resolved!

Call for UK Government Regime Change
31-08-2003 19:15
A resolution passed by a local peace group in Ayrshire is expected to start a national avalanche of calls for Tony Blair’s resignation. Other organisations, large and small, are being encouraged to adopt and pass the resolution. Ayrshire North Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, meeting in Irvine on the 26th August 2003, called for the Prime Minister to stand down in recognition that his action caused and continues to cause unnecessary suffering against the will of the British people. Hindsight and the Hutton enquiry, they say, show his professed reasons for supporting the USA in an unpopular, illegal and immoral war were unfounded.Poster for We Interrupt This Empire screening
