EDO Warmongers Face Brighton City Council Vote of Censure

Today at 3pm inside Hove Town Hall, Brighton and Hove City Council will vote on a resolution saying EDO MBM are not welcome in the city.

In the light of continuing anti-EDO protests in Brighton, two people remanded to Lewes Prison and the fact that Brighton and Hove is a 'UN Peace Messenger City' certain Green and Labour councillors are pushing for the resolution today.

Democracy or cynical attempt to safeguard UN PMC funding for another year? Whatever it is, once again EDO face a PR problem.

Of course the arms industry are the most corrupt bunch out there when it comes to bribery and 'inducements' so its quite possible that councillors will get a hefty bonus for voting against this resolution, and maybe a free guided tour of USAF Eglin Airforce Base.

UK arms trade corruption reports can be found on the CAAT website.Worth a read.
