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

29-08-2007 09:21

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.

With the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan raging the chances of being killed and injured have increased dramatically over the past few years. But even if ex-services personnel make it back alive many are still scared for life from their experiences.

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

The Neo-Fascist Plot Against Iran

28-08-2007 22:18

As news of US/Israeli plans for an Act of Aggression against Iran gets louder, so too does the unsubstantiated warnings from Bush/PNAC about the dire threat of another attack (which would only highlit their incompetence, and suggest responsibility).

Smash EDO Camp still resisting and actions will continue!

17:30 update

Sussex police have taken all the tents including the large marquee.

Someone locked onto the pole of the marquee confused around 50 police for a good hour. Eventually they had to lock-off because police were talking about dismantling the marquee, which would have been extremely dangerous for the locked-on protester.

There are reports that there are still people up in the trees on the site.
