"MIDDLE EAST: A VAST MARKET FOR UK DEFENCE AND SECURITY COMPANIES"
http://www.londonchamber.co.uk/DocImages/9245.pdf
"With the government’s increased focus on exports, UK defence and security companies are urged to look at international emerging markets to increase their business potential. The Middle East is one of the regions with the greatest number of opportunities for UK defence and security companies."
Alternatively, don your finest pinstripes and join us outside the venue at 2.30pm on Thursday 8th September for an action to say This is NOT OK.

Rumours that the event was cancelled appear to be disinfo

The event is still advertised, and tickets are still being sold.
Even if the event were to be cancelled, RBS is a valid target for protest, as it is deeply enmeshed in funding the arms trade.*

In that post I neither suggested that the CAAT protest should be cancelled nor that RBS was any less culpable because it was no longer hosting the meeting.
This was simp[ly relevant news not ‘disinformation’ which I still believe to be correct and it did nlot breach Indymedia UK editorial guidelines.
This evening the RBS seminar was deleted this evening from the LCC’s list of events:
Although the program and the booking links still exist.
So I could be proved wrong but if LCC/RBS were engaging in disinformation surely the event would have been deleted before and not after telling people that it had been cancelled.
