London Counter-Recruitment Picket, Saturday September 1st 11am

This Saturday - 1st September – at the Strand army recruitment centre, people will be going armed with placards and fliers to give a counter view of what life is like in the army. The army recruitment centre is coincidentally located opposite BAE Systems London HQ.

We encourage everyone to help us hand out fliers and let people know what it's really like in the military! Read more >>
