here's a handy map of DSEi exhibitors in Manchester

Stop the Weapons before they reach DSEi

why not take action against your local arms dealer in the weeks leading up to DSEi:

The exhibitors at DSEi range from companies like BAE and Raytheon, making entire weapons systems, to manufacturers of missile launchers and rifles, to companies like EDO MBM/ITT making components for weapons produced by larger companies, to companies providing tents, body armour, computer security or electricity generators for the military.

DSEi, the world’s largest arms fair, runs from Sept 8-11 at ExCeL in London. In order to display their weaponry, the exhibitors have to transport it to London’s East End in the previous week and weekend, i.e. Sept 1st-7th.

We’re calling on people up and down the country to stop this happening.

In the past, boats have obstructed battleships entering the dock; a tripod did the same with tank transporters, and various local groups took the campaign to the exhibitors’ home turf.

Let’s make it as hard as possible for them to get anywhere near London!

The arms industry is one of the UK's few remaining succesful industries and employs a lot of people who all pay tax.

We can't all work as strategic awareness 'officers' or equality 'officers' down at the local council you know, and without the income from the arms industry the country could afford many fewer such public sector non-jobs to keep the unemployment figures down.

Hundreds of thousands of men, women and children - whole families massacred, lives torn apart, people displaced, lands and rivers poisoned: all a DIRECT result of the UK arms trade. That's not worth a single job.
