MBM - who is behind protests

Graham Rickman | 12.06.2005 08:41 | Anti-militarism | South Coast

Over the past few weeks a wekk organised campaign has been running against MBM Technology of Brighton, manufacturers of Bomb Release Equipment and part of the EDO Corporation

Information from sources in the US (available via an e-mail to me) indicate that all is not as it seems.

The principal competitior to MBM in this markey is DRS Technologies of New Jersey USA. Of late DRS have been having a tough time, sales have not been good because of the successs of MBM. It seems that somebody decided that a little trouble for MBM could be good for DRS.

In late September last year Alan Permain from DRS flew to the UK and met with a group in Brighton where funds where supplied, members of this group now form part of the protest movement in Brighton.

A full article on this story will be in the mainstream press within the next week but I thought Indy Media Newswire readers might be interested to know how they have been duped for commercial reasons.
