So one must ask how can such a huge mistake have been made. It could have been the fact the centre that was filled with helicopters, guns, computer defence systems, combat gear, radar, tanks, people carriers, missiles and ships. Or perhaps it goes back earlier to the promotion of the event on the web. The official DSEi listed only arms companies as exhibitors.

But protesters weren't the only one's confused. London's Metropolitan Police spent £2 million policing the event according to the Recorder. If only someone had explained to them earlier that this was an "open event" a lot of taxpayers money could have been saved.


... But seriously folks, you have got to wonder about the sanity of the person or organisation that could make such absurd claims. They really are completely bonkers.
