    first off nerve gas is a chemical weapon that has been illegal for the best part of a century, so if anyone made it wherever, they would be in breach of international law
    2nd. no-one has ever claimed EDO MBM make nerve gas.
    3rd. Your argument about jobs is false. Every arms industry job is subsidised by the UK tax payer to the tune of some 13K on average so they loss of all of the 99 jobs at EDO MBM, with the result that all 99 claimed benefits would actually mean a saving to the tax payer of hundreds of thousands of pounds.

    4th: A small minority? Are you so sure about that when a local MP supports the actions of the campaign, elected council leaders attend its demonstrations, and a jury of twelve ordinary people from Sussex looked at the evidence and supported the campaign arguments."

Smash EDO plans "summer of resistance" in Brighton

A protest group is threatening to carry out a summer of resistance.

Smash EDO has announced plans to recruit new members later this year in preparation for major protest campaign in Brighton in 2012.

The protesters are proposing to link-up with other groups from around the UK to launch a major protest targeting the EDO MBM factory in Home Farm Road, Moulsecoomb.

The group said they were looking to “to involve as many people as possible across the country” and are asking protesters to start thinking about ways to “express your outrage as creatively as you like.”

Organisers said on an activism website: “the summer of 2012 is the time for you to come and take action.

“We want you, your mates or your affinity group to come to the factory and express your outrage as creatively as you like.

“We welcome a diversity of tactics and no action is too big or too small.”
