Campaign to Stop DSEI. WE WILL SHUT IT DOWN

Jamie | 01.05.2007 08:55 | Anti-militarism | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements

We are a new group devoted to one action and one action only. The closure for all time of the DSEI Death Fair in London later this year.

During previous years there has been a lot of posturing, talking and marching. None of this has worked. Time was wasted making banners, posters and free newspapers, time that should have been spent closing it down.

Protests against the Death Fair have been ineffectual because the group doing the organising was too willing to work with Spearhead and Reed for "peaceful protesting". This we will not do.

Don't waste time making coloured signs or dressing up as clowns, if you want to play in a Samba band go somewhere else, don't have meetings telling others about what you did last time, don't try to organise us.

Our campaign has a simple and easy tactic. Force of numbers, we are asking for everyone to block every access to the Excel Centre, rail, road, air. There will be no meeting points, no agreed routes for a march, no working with the police. If you are not planning on coming ask yourself why, what is more important ?

Our call is a simple one, TURN UP AND GET IN THE WAY.

Hidden as 'disruptive'

This echoes attempts to undermine Disarm DSEi during the run-up to the last DSEi, when posts appeared, claiming to be from the president of ULU SU setting up an alternative group to Disarm. The actual president denied any knowledge of the post and confirmed that there was no room booking for the meeting.

This post bears all the same hallmarks - and no campaign is going to get off the ground without at the very least an email for co-ordination.
