  The MD of Edo has a history of making spurious allegations of intimidation against peaceful protesters.

  No he has not.
  Elijah Smiths threats were made in a court when he was on trial for another offence. So there is no doubt what so ever about what he said and did. Also as you and Cramp23 seem to have very short memories I will remind you both of the attempts last year by Smash Edo to attack a McDonalds with families in it, before they then went to attack a Barclays Bank (but attacked an office that had nothing to do with Barclays by mistake) They ended that day by Smashing up the Palace Pier, I still have the photos I took of the drunk Smash Edo protestor in a grey duffle coat and black top hat wandering up to the police out side the Maccy Ds and telling them he was going to smash their f***ing heads in and was going to send them to hospital because they were c****. I was there I saw the violence against the police so dont try and rewrite history, all you have to do is search the Argus website for Smash Edo and you will see that almost every one of their protests has ended in violence. Even Bibble admitted that on that occasion the protestors had gone too far. You also seem to conveniently forget that Smash Edo started off 6 years ago by targeting the workers at Edo in their homes, aping the terroristic tactics of the extremist parts of the Animal rights movement. They then targed business associated with Edo another tactic copied from Animal rights extremists. The weekly noise protests are just another attempt at harrasment and intimidation, again tactics that have been copied from the the animal rights campaigns. Honestly if you dont know the history of your own movement, why do you bother posting?
  Harrasment intimidation violence and hypocrisy have become the hallmarks of the Smash Edo movement. The elitist clique that run the movement (and I bet from their violent language they are all men) have badly misjudged this campaign which is why in 6 years you have got nowhere.
  But as I have said before for the leaders of the Smash Edo movement the violence against the police is something they actively seek to provoke in order to radicalise their protestors, this is a tactic the Socialist Workers Party have been using for years (they used to call it politicalisation)

  "No he has not. "
  
  Tell that to the poor schmuck who got arrested for intimidation of a witness at the decommissioners' trial for attending the regular weekly demo on the same day he went to the court. His big mistake was thinking that the police are to be trusted although I'm sure he had already worked out that the MD wasn't. Not to mention all the exaggerated claims made at the injunction trial. But what else would we expect from arms dealers? Morals? No. Low and cowardly false accusations backed up by the police? Yes.
  
  I think you're letting your imagination run away with itself in most of the rest of your posting."
