Violent Reed employee

It is great to see that employees are learning about their company's involvement in the arms trade and are complaining to the bosses about it. The Lancet story is fantastic.

However, one employee seems to think that violence is the answer. Ex-cop Derek Butler who works out of the Jordan Hill office in Oxford used very agressive behaviour and language against four of the customers during the demo, including some behaviour that was almost sexual harassment in nature. Others he simply used his height and puffed up chest to barrel into people to push them around. He referred to one activist as being an arsehole for simply handing out leaflets and tried to stop him spreading the information.

This guy does the company no credit and his outright aggression and comments indicate that he is more than happy to support Reed Elsevier's involvement in the arms trade including the illegal trade in mines they help promote.

Please contact Reed Elsevier and ask them to keep their abusive employees under control:

I'm surprised that, out of all the video formats available, you've chosen to use a binary codec owned by one of the world' biggest corporations. Could you not have used something that would at least play on all platforms without making people have to mess around downloading extra plugins?
