Activist cement up entrance to brighton arms manufacturer - unfortunately it was removed by morning, damn that 'extra quick drying cement'!
Some creatures paid a visit to EDO/MBM last night with a gift of quarter of a tonne of cement left on the entrance so the difficulty of crossing it to their livelihoods might remind them of others who have to cross life to death by the help of EDO’s produce!

Count Dracula visited EDO/MBM technology on 21st October and smeared the walls with blood. He left a message daubed on the walls '...BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS'.
The count encourages all aspiring ghouls and ghosties to visit the factory in the run up to Halloween.
EDO/MBM Technology Ltd in Brighton makes bomb release mechanisms for various warplanes including F-16s and Tornados as well as parts for the Paveway series of bombs (all used in Iraq). This is not the first sign of local discontent with death-profiteering - in May, 10 activists were arrested after a blockade and rooftop occupation which shut the firm down for the day, costing them over £17,000 (1). A week-long protest camp including an overnight rooftop occupation in August/September cost EDO around £20,000 (2). The bottom line is - We won't tolerate arms dealing in our community or in anyone else's! Somebody also 'spilt' red paint over their windows (3) and dumped large quantities of manure
outside the front door (4)
