The DSEi Arms Fair, reputed to be the biggest in the world, continues to be held every other year in London's Docklands, England, despite being allowed to sell horrendous weapons to rogue regimes.
Local residents, politicians and anti-war groups object most strongly to this brutal trade, including A Critical Mass style protest. The video covers this year's ride to the Arms Fair and consequent confrontations with a large contingent of police. One nice touch was the presence of a tank sneaked in by some demonstrators and offered for mock auction.

From Wikipedia:
"However, Critical Mass participants have insisted that these events should be viewed as "celebrations" and spontaneous gatherings, and not as protests or organized demonstrations."
