Row breaks out over Brighton Smash EDO protest at Jubilee
2:30pm Wednesday 28th March 2012 in News
A bitter row has broken out over councillors’ condemnation of a Diamond Jubilee anti-arms protest.
Conservatives and Labour councillors on Brighton and Hove City Council voted for a motion that the council should call on Smash EDO to drop its June protest plans because of possible disruption to celebrations.
Senior Green councillor Ben Duncan publicly suggested in his blog that Conservative Coun Tony Janio was “corrupt” in proposing the vote because he did not declare at the time that he himself works for an arms company.
Coun Duncan later clarified in a later post that he was not “alleging corruption”.
Smash EDO wants to close down the EDO factory in Home Farm Road, Moulsecoomb, which it claims makes parts for weapons used in overseas military action.
It has called a demonstration in Brighton on Monday, June 4 – the third day of a four-day bank holiday weekend marking the Queen’s 60th year on the throne – as part of a “summer of resistance”.
At a meeting Coun Janio proposed that the council call on Smash EDO to “abandon their plans to disrupt the Diamond Jubilee celebrations in the city” and to work with police over other plans for protests.
The motion was carried with support from Conservative and Labour group members, with the Greens abstaining or voting against the motion.
Coun Janio, who represents the Hangleton and Knoll ward in Hove, has listed in the council’s register of members’ interests that he works as a “technical instructor” for Thales Training and Simulation – owned by French defence company Thales.
Coun Duncan, the council’s cabinet member for communities, equalities and public protection, wrote in his blog after the meeting: “This looks a bit like corruption to me – keeping silent about his links with the arms industry while trying to shut down the activities of a group campaigning against it – either way the question will keep council lawyers busy for the next few weeks.”
He warned disruption was more likely if the council did not work constructively with protest groups.
He is planning to seek legal advice from council officers before deciding whether to lodge a complaint to the council’s standards committee.
Smash EDO spokeswoman Chloe Marsh said the planned demo was not directed at the jubilee.
A spokeswoman said: “The arms trade does not stop just because of the Jubilee holiday.”
Coun Janio himself said he has no conflict of interest because his job is teaching people to fix flight simulators, not making arms.
He said: “We make flight simulators, we also make military flight simulators, but they don’t harm people.
“The worst thing a simulator can do to somebody is if it fell on them.
“We basically make a non-lethal product that teaches people to fly, whether they are military or civil.”

If you make a military simulator you are training people to kill, plain and simple. Maybe that killing is for a reasonable purpose like defending the UK or it maybe for an unsavoury regime. In either case, you can't come the argument that they are not part of a system to cause harm to people. Far from it, they are an integral part of delivering airborne ordinance.

you notice that there dont appear to be any protests at any other so-called arms factories. that is because a visit to EDO is a jolly to the seaside, and nothing more.

It is also very likely if arms had not been produced in the 40's we would only have one political party in power the others all having been banned, I suppose the one benifit apart from the horror of the idea of having lost the last war, is that there would be no green party.

So close the factory and put more people out of work. Not sure but probably most of the protestors are unemployed, so do not like to see others with jobs. Where do these type of people think they would be if they had got the factories during the last war to stop building planes and guns. If any of them do work I suppose they want to protest at this time as it means they will not have to take time off work over the bank holidays.

These idiots have now made it much more likely that disruption will occur since many people will now believe that this march is about the monarchy rather than arms dealers. The Conservatives are bonkers.

He has clearly shown his support for Smash Edo in the amendment he tabled at the last council meeting, trying to get on record the spurious claim that Edo sell arms to the Israelis that have been used to oppress the Palestinians, he has attended numerous Smash Edo demos, he was the councillor who handed in a petition from Smash Edo a few years ago to a council meeting, though he claimed not to know the person who handed him the petition, he has consistently used his blog to propagate Smash Edo propaganda,(the police are responsible for all the disruption at Smash Edo demos, err no they are not it is Smash Edos refusal to notify police in advance of their intentions that forces the police to provide enough officers for a worst case scenario)
He is the only member of the Sussex police authority to have had 6 yes count them 6, complaints made against him.
Cut and paste this link to see how Ben Duncan tried to turn a motion condemning Smash Edo into one that supported them. Please can someone from the Green party come on here and explain why they support a group who has members that have threatened the murder of the manager of Edo and his children.

Why didn't you mention the following countries who have killed British soldiers - Argentina, Ireland, Kenya, Yemen , libya, Cyprus, Italy, Germany, Pakistan etc etc.
The fact is Israel is a fellow democracy. I don't know if EDO supply Israel, but Israel has both a moral & legal right to defend itself against hamas firing rockets into residential areas.
Most smash edo protestors are gay, & they should be aware how many gay Palestinians are killed & persecuted in gaza, & end up taking refuge in Israel.
Lets hope the smash edo protest fizzles out like their previous attempts & Brighton can enjoy the Bank holiday in peace.
"Most EDO protesters are gay"? Really? I'll have to take your word for that, my "gaydar" is obviously not as finely tuned as yours.

Someone told me that they'd seen you post on another site claiming to be a policeman (I think they said it was the Guardian site). If that is true I think there is a real conflict of interest in you posting here. Especially making such accusations without clarification and it would, I'd have thought, be a disciplinary matter and might be of interest to the press.
That is if it is true that you are a policeman of course and I'm prepared to be corrected here. But given your apparent level of knowledge I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.

There are so many other countries with much worse human rights records, yet they concentrate on one tiny country no bigger than Wales. Even the Greens' communist motherland, Russia, has worse human rights abuses. And no mention of Syria or North Korea that kills or starves its own people.

It's not just that Cllr Janio has spent the last 22 years working for a military aircraft simulator / training company (supplying the air forces of Indonesia, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia among other human rights abusers), he failed to mention it at a meeting before putting foward a motion condemning an openly anti arms-trade group, and his company THALES is one of the largest arms companies in the world. Not only that but THALES has actual business links with EDO MBM through its subsidiaries and works with them on the Paveway 4 guided bomb contract and EDO MBM provides scanning motors for the Eurofighter through THALES.
How long has Cllr Janio been on the council? How long has he been aware of Smash EDO? How long has he been reading their website where it states numerous times that EDO MBM works with THALES on the Paveway 4 guided bomb contract? Are we really meant to believe that he had no knowledge of this contractual business link with his own employer when he proposed this motion?
Corruption is certainly not too strong a word for this if its true. It obviously needs investigating.
But it goes even further than that. The seconder of this motion is recently elected Cllr Graham Cox, a former Sussex police chief and head of CID, part of the Sussex police executive board that has tried for years to crush Smash EDO with numerous dodgy tactics and failed time and again .
So not only do we have a prejudiced military aerospace employee but also a prejudiced retired chief of police looking to get some payback for their mates still on the job.
The whole jubilee thing is so obviously a weak attempt to cover their true motives and
personal and prejudicial interests are what is really behind this abuse of the council chamber.

Not absolutely definite proof it has to be said (depending on the interpretation of "our") but the post does suggest if it is not true there is at least a strong connection with Sussex Police. I'm playing Devil's advocate here.
So assuming it is, is it appropriate that a policeman is posting such material about a protest group that is supposedly and should be policed neutrally? It doesn't take much imagination to guess who the policeman might be given the apparent obsession with the campaign.
And is it right that a policeman should be posting about a member of Sussex Police Authority in such a blatantly political and anonymous way? Making allegations about threats to kill without any elaboration is also not acceptable.
JHunty has made many unsubstantiated allegations about the group over the last few years (usually just going quiet once they are challenged) and given the way the police and more recently the Council respond to scare stories in the press and the current council spat I believe this could be a corker. I'm sure Ben Duncan as a member of the Sussex Police Authority would be very interested not forgetting the press.
I think the Argus should definitely investigate this as they would have access to IP addresses etc. Given the way that SmashEDO have been criminalised and monitored over the years I think the results could be interesting and certainly would be in the public interest.

Ben Duncan should be a bit careful here, he has denied that he is a supporter of Smash Edo, yet he has consistently supported them in both thought and deed.
He has clearly shown his support for Smash Edo in the amendment he tabled at the last council meeting, trying to get on record the spurious claim that Edo sell arms to the Israelis that have been used to oppress the Palestinians, he has attended numerous Smash Edo demos, he was the councillor who handed in a petition from Smash Edo a few years ago to a council meeting, though he claimed not to know the person who handed him the petition, he has consistently used his blog to propagate Smash Edo propaganda,(the police are responsible for all the disruption at Smash Edo demos, err no they are not it is Smash Edos refusal to notify police in advance of their intentions that forces the police to provide enough officers for a worst case scenario)
He is the only member of the Sussex police authority to have had 6 yes count them 6, complaints made against him.
Cut and paste this link to see how Ben Duncan tried to turn a motion condemning Smash Edo into one that supported them. Please can someone from the Green party come on here and explain why they support a group who has members that have threatened the murder of the manager of Edo and his children.

Someone told me that they'd seen you post on another site claiming to be a policeman (I think they said it was the Guardian site). If that is true I think there is a real conflict of interest in you posting here. Especially making such accusations without clarification and it would, I'd have thought, be a disciplinary matter and might be of interest to the press.
That is if it is true that you are a policeman of course and I'm prepared to be corrected here. But given your apparent level of knowledge I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.
Not absolutely definite proof it has to be said (depending on the interpretation of "our") but the post does suggest if it is not true there is at least a strong connection with Sussex Police. I'm playing Devil's advocate here.
So assuming it is, is it appropriate that a policeman is posting such material about a protest group that is supposedly and should be policed neutrally? It doesn't take much imagination to guess who the policeman might be given the apparent obsession with the campaign.
And is it right that a policeman should be posting about a member of Sussex Police Authority in such a blatantly political and anonymous way? Making allegations about threats to kill without any elaboration is also not acceptable.
JHunty has made many unsubstantiated allegations about the group over the last few years (usually just going quiet once they are challenged) and given the way the police and more recently the Council respond to scare stories in the press and the current council spat I believe this could be a corker. I'm sure Ben Duncan as a member of the Sussex Police Authority would be very interested not forgetting the press.
I think the Argus should definitely investigate this as they would have access to IP addresses etc. Given the way that SmashEDO have been criminalised and monitored over the years I think the results could be interesting and certainly would be in the public interest.

Where do these type of people think they would be if they had got the factories during the last war to stop building planes and guns. If any of them do work I suppose they want to protest at this time as it means they will not have to take time off work over the bank holidays. It is also very likely if arms had not been produced in the 40's we would only have one political party in power the others all having been banned, I suppose the one benifit apart from the horror of the idea of having lost the last war, is that there would be no green party.I do wonder if EDO would have sold arms to the Israelis in the 40s as they do now. The Israelis would have killed many more British if they had. But local jobs would have been secure making some people happy! These idiots have now made it much more likely that disruption will occur since many people will now believe that this march is about the monarchy rather than arms dealers. The Conservatives are bonkers.
The Arab liberation Army supported an uprising in the area and took to arms against the post war (WW2) Jewish settlers.
The 1948 Arab–Israeli War after May 15 in 1948, marked the end of the British Mandate and the birth of Israel, in which Transjordan, Egypt, Syria and Iraq intervened and sent expeditionary forces that fought the Israeli army.
If you're going to bash Israel (like most of the ill informed supporters of the PLO and Hammas) get your facts right..

Ben Duncan should be a bit careful here, he has denied that he is a supporter of Smash Edo, yet he has consistently supported them in both thought and deed.
He has clearly shown his support for Smash Edo in the amendment he tabled at the last council meeting, trying to get on record the spurious claim that Edo sell arms to the Israelis that have been used to oppress the Palestinians, he has attended numerous Smash Edo demos, he was the councillor who handed in a petition from Smash Edo a few years ago to a council meeting, though he claimed not to know the person who handed him the petition, he has consistently used his blog to propagate Smash Edo propaganda,(the police are responsible for all the disruption at Smash Edo demos, err no they are not it is Smash Edos refusal to notify police in advance of their intentions that forces the police to provide enough officers for a worst case scenario)
He is the only member of the Sussex police authority to have had 6 yes count them 6, complaints made against him.
Cut and paste this link to see how Ben Duncan tried to turn a motion condemning Smash Edo into one that supported them. Please can someone from the Green party come on here and explain why they support a group who has members that have threatened the murder of the manager of Edo and his children.

Someone told me that they'd seen you post on another site claiming to be a policeman (I think they said it was the Guardian site). If that is true I think there is a real conflict of interest in you posting here. Especially making such accusations without clarification and it would, I'd have thought, be a disciplinary matter and might be of interest to the press.
That is if it is true that you are a policeman of course and I'm prepared to be corrected here. But given your apparent level of knowledge I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.
Not absolutely definite proof it has to be said (depending on the interpretation of "our") but the post does suggest if it is not true there is at least a strong connection with Sussex Police. I'm playing Devil's advocate here.
So assuming it is, is it appropriate that a policeman is posting such material about a protest group that is supposedly and should be policed neutrally? It doesn't take much imagination to guess who the policeman might be given the apparent obsession with the campaign.
And is it right that a policeman should be posting about a member of Sussex Police Authority in such a blatantly political and anonymous way? Making allegations about threats to kill without any elaboration is also not acceptable.
JHunty has made many unsubstantiated allegations about the group over the last few years (usually just going quiet once they are challenged) and given the way the police and more recently the Council respond to scare stories in the press and the current council spat I believe this could be a corker. I'm sure Ben Duncan as a member of the Sussex Police Authority would be very interested not forgetting the press.
I think the Argus should definitely investigate this as they would have access to IP addresses etc. Given the way that SmashEDO have been criminalised and monitored over the years I think the results could be interesting and certainly would be in the public interest.

I have said I'm prepared to be corrected but it does seem he has a lot of information about the campaign and individuals in it as well as Sussex Police. As I point out various people have long suspected this and the fact that he is making allegations of threats to murder and using it to attack the politics of a member of the Police Authority makes it important that the issue is cleared up one way or the other.
And if he feels insulted at being called a policeman I'll even apologise if he convinces us that he's not one.
If you're talking about contacting the IPCC (quite a serious measure) then the least you can do is explain how you've come to this conclusion.

EDO do not not just make a 'switch' they are at the heart of aircraft weapons systems manufacture and design and research and development.
No one ever claimed they make entire bombs, they make essential parts for bombs (as it states correctly in this argus article), as well as parts for missiles, guided weapons, and their launching systems on military aircraft.

ones comment re' the right wing are only based on comments that I have read.
some of the things I write are true.like I am jewish and my grandad did fight as part of the international brigade. but mostly I just pass verbal wind.
the fact that the anoniminity that is allowed means that its fair game to write anything (within the law, reason and respect of others).
you have to admit there are some down right weirdos on here that have a far than sensible approrach to life and living.
and finally,
I am researching to write a book about a character who lives his life on these message boards and have been collating the material written on the argus website. Well its much easier to use real examples than to use upm,u imagination, as you couldn't imagine half the stuff written on here.

I have also said (frequently) I'm prepared to admit I am wrong but am still waiting for JHunty to respond.
I still believe that attempts to discredit a member of the Police Authority if he is a Policeman (Sorry Police Officer) within the context of this political spat is serious enough to investigate. As policing will no doubt be driven by the Council's motion which in turn was driven by press comments I think it is very significant.
It's not just about some policeman unwisely making a few comments on-line. If you think otherwise then so be it. I'm not terrible worried about what you think at all.

Nope me neither....
I have also said (frequently) I'm prepared to admit I am wrong but am still waiting for JHunty to respond.
I still believe that attempts to discredit a member of the Police Authority if he is a Policeman (Sorry Police Officer) within the context of this political spat is serious enough to investigate. As policing will no doubt be driven by the Council's motion which in turn was driven by press comments I think it is very significant.
It's not just about some policeman unwisely making a few comments on-line. If you think otherwise then so be it. I'm not terrible worried about what you think at all.

EDO MBM are owned by ITT Exelis. ITT have a long history of supporting fascism including Hitler in ww2
ITT & Hitler
The CEO of International Telephone & Telegraph (ITT), Colonel Sosthenes Behn reportedly spoke with Adolf Hitler on the phone from New York City every week of World War II. Key companies that maintained the German telephone network were ITT subsidiaries at that time, and communications were obviously of strategic importance for Nazi Germany. Their subsidiaries produced vital supplies such
as switchboards, telephones, teleprinters, aircraft intercoms, submarine and ship phones, electric buoys, alarm gongs, buoys, air raid warning devices, radar equipment, radio parts and 30,000 fuses per month for artillery shells used to kill allied troops.
ï Numerous payments were made to Heinrich Himmler in the late 1930s and in World War II itself through I.T.T. German subsidiaries. The first meeting between Hitler and I.T.T. was reported
in August 1933, when Sosthenes Behn and I.T.T. German representative Henry Manne met with Hitler in Berchesgaden. Subsequently, Behn made contact with the Secretary of State Keppler and, through Kepplerís influence, Nazi banker Baron Kurt von Schrˆder became the guardian of I.T.T. interests in Germany. Schrˆder acted as the conduit for I.T.T. money funnelled to Heinrich Himmlerís S.S. organization in 1944.
ï ITT profited from the bombing of London and south- east England as its German subsidiary Focke-Wulfe built the ìFW 191 heavy bomberî and the ìFW 190D fighter bomberî. By 1943 13% of ITTís income was generated from Nazi Germany.
ï At the time of the Pearl Harbour attack in 1941, ITTís investments in Nazi Germany totalled $30 million. They continued to invest in and collaborate with Nazi Germany after the USA entered the war, in fact striking a deal with Hitler ensuring that the Nazi government would not acquire ITTís shares, but would be responsible for the administration of the shares. ITT literally went into partnership with the Nazi government in wartime.
ï ITT later sued the American government, receiving $27 million for damage that had been inflicted on their German plants by Allied bombers, despite the fact that these factories were building Nazi military equipment to attack the allies during the war.

Smash Edo and the Greens are the same sort of people who supported appeasment and opposed Britain rearming in the lead up to WW2, as a consequence we were kicked out of continental Europe and the Nazis were given free rein to inflict their racial theories on the occupied countries of europe.
The fantasy land that Smash Edos elitist clique of leaders live in bears no resemblance to the real world.
The constant lies about the police being responsible for the disruption that Smash Edo seek to inflict on Brighton dont add up, their violence cannot be squared with their claims to be peaceful protestors.
Its very telling that they are unable to retain supporters and constantly have to recruit new sheeple, I guess even their own supporters get sick of the lies and hypocrisy and the failed tactics endlessly repeated by the elitist clique who issue their orders from on high.

The Hitler material was simply responding to an earlier post raising the old chestnut that without the arms industry Hitler world have won WW2.
In fact companies like EDO MBM's parent company ITT were openly supportive of fascism, (not just Hitler) but also in Spain in the 20s and 30s where the US ambassador described the founder of ITT, Sosthenes Behn as 'rabidly pro-fascist' in his support for Franco.

Wow, the Smash Edo bunch really dont seem to have much of an argument, EDO = Hitler? What rubbish, and as a matter of fact, Smash Edo have all ways claimed there was a BOMB factory in Brighton, one of their big lies. They remind me of the anti abortion protestors, so convinced of the justice of their cause that the laws of the land dont apply to them.
Our military intervention in Libya, made possible by companies like EDO did more to further the cause of human rights than anything Smash Edo will ever achieve, whilst the Greens would have sat back and done nothing. I remember the conflicts that sprung up in Serbia after the break up of the Soviet Union and our shameful do nothing attitude back then. Never again. Sometimes military intervention is the right thing to do. Smash Edo and the Greens are the same sort of people who supported appeasment and opposed Britain rearming in the lead up to WW2, as a consequence we were kicked out of continental Europe and the Nazis were given free rein to inflict their racial theories on the occupied countries of europe.
The fantasy land that Smash Edos elitist clique of leaders live in bears no resemblance to the real world.
The constant lies about the police being responsible for the disruption that Smash Edo seek to inflict on Brighton dont add up, their violence cannot be squared with their claims to be peaceful protestors.
Its very telling that they are unable to retain supporters and constantly have to recruit new sheeple, I guess even their own supporters get sick of the lies and hypocrisy and the failed tactics endlessly repeated by the elitist clique who issue their orders from on high.
What happened to last years summer of discontent? Cancelled due to lack of interest?
It is the fanticism shown by Smash Edo that makes the world a dangerous place, Churchill might have been a reactionary old twit at times but his quote on fantatics is relevant to Smash Edo
A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.
Or as the great Grayson Perry would say, Hold your beliefs lightly
The Hitler material was simply responding to an earlier post raising the old chestnut that without the arms industry Hitler world have won WW2.
In fact companies like EDO MBM's parent company ITT were openly supportive of fascism, (not just Hitler) but also in Spain in the 20s and 30s where the US ambassador described the founder of ITT, Sosthenes Behn as 'rabidly pro-fascist' in his support for Franco.

I can't speak for those who might have talked about a final push. You'd have to ask them.
But to address the mask point I think if you had been constantly filmed by the police and followed around town you might do so too. And they are not, in any case, the only protests where people hide their faces. You'd need to get out to more protests to see that was the case.
The police have selected targets they always go for at a demo. That is the people they perceive as ring leaders (and why wouldn't they looking at it from their point of view). So by everyone masking up it makes that impossible or at least difficult.
I'm guessing you don't go to many demos but once you've been picked out and arrested a few times or followed home you get the idea that masking up to make yourself unidentifiable might be quite wise.
That'll do for today. I'm sure Bladesboy's keyboard fingers are itching to get going so I'll leave him to it.

But back to my point.
It is interesting that the local Conservatives now seemed to have dropped the allegation that SmashEDO have "plans to disrupt the Jubilee" and have now back-peddled to "plans for disruption". This suggests to me that they know they were wrong.
So two questions:
Can they explain why they've changed and how they think their original motion which directly links the march with the Jubilee might impact on the amount of disruption.
Will the march require more policing (and therefore cause more disruption) due to the Council motion linking the march to the Jubilee?

At the end of the day it's actual convictions for violent offences that have gone through due process that must be used to support your arguments. There are many for Football Hooligans and the rioters and looters (there is a difference) had many convictions (rightly or wrongly) during the court frenzy that followed. I'm not passing judgement on those but how many are there for Smash EDO? How many aquittals? How many arrested and not charged? How many dropped before going to court?
You could always ask JHunty he knows. Just watch what he says as he can be a bit economical with the truth.
As for the vast majority of people supporting your view don't forget the poll on these very pages a while back in which the majority of people supported SmashEDO's right to protest. JHunty tried to claim it was the other way round but he was very quickly corrected on that at which point he went very quiet again. He keeps doing that!

As zrfau, occupy brighton supporter and gazzer scott (bright he's not) are one and the same and I would suggest are also barking mad, the thread should now close.
The summary is simply that the good people of Brighton are comfortable with and actually support EDO and do not want the great unwashed to visit Brighton.
THREAD CLOSED
I'm not expecting any answers from you (now that really would be mad) but there are several questions unanswered before the thread can be declared closed. So just go away you silly little boy.

We're just going round in circles here, I don't agree with you and your views and you don't agree with mine, I wish your lot would stop rioting in my town and you hope they carry on doing it, you see violence as a legitimate way to get your point across and I don't.
I've looked at SmashEDO on YouTube and just can't believe the levels of aggression and provocation shown towards to police (how did I know you'd blame them for starting the violence - lol!).
Maybe one day you'll change but if you are telling the truth and you are actually older than a student then sadly I think you're too entrenched in this angry and violent way of life to ever change.

Whether that person has applied to have details removed from a database or not is, I assume, not public information and should be kept confidential.
Also as the person mentioned does not have a criminal record it is not acceptable to broadcast their name to the world in connection with this issue. They may have reasons to not want to be connected and that should be respected. Instead, this information has been made public by JHunty to try to personally attack the litigant. If he is a policeman then this is really, really wrong.
As has become quite clear that the police do not respect an individual's right to privacy at all!!
I'll ignore your comments about me being violent as being slightly indicative of your limited experience of these issues.

I don't like what EDO do and I don't like the way that the police force in this country is increasingly used to stifle peaceful protest. I certainly don't like some of the highly questionable actions against individuals that Sussex Police and EDO have taken over the past eight years.
So there you go. No hatred at all. Hatred is very wasteful and I prefer to focus my energy productively.

On the other hand you only have to look at some of the idiotic comments and arguments put forward on this list to see where the intelligence deficit is.
Look at one of the most prolific posters on your side of the argument. Dear old Bladesboy: positive proof of my point. He's hardly a shining example of intelligence. Poor boy. Gotta feel sorry for him really.

Now the thread has been reopened our prolific poster, gazzer scott continues to share his vitriol and ignorance whilst attempting to use blatant lies to influence (more chance of platting fog) the readership.
What I have noticed with this bunch (occupy brighton supporter, gazzer and zrfau) is that they start off trying a friendly approach and when people spot the lies and don't buy it, they then become increasingly aggressive and nasty.
Obviously gazzer scott, bright he's not has always remained balanced and professional throughout. It's everyone else who is at fault!

Obviously gazzer scott, bright he's not has always remained balanced and professional throughout. It's everyone else who is at fault!
Oh what a waster!
Oh boy! You really do believe you're controlling this list don't you! Like a simpleton standing in the middle of the road directing traffic thinking he's important. I'm sorry and I really shouldn't mock but that is just so funny. An appropriate end to April fools' day.

Unfortunately, as has been pointed out, it is so easy to get dragged down to your playground mentality.
And it is not about having the last word Bladesboy. There are people trying to discuss serious things and all you do is discredit your side of the argument. I don't think anyone on here thinks you're anything other than a simpleton. And that includes people who might share your views.
In fact maybe it's someone who supports SmashEDO being very clever and trying to discredit the pro-arms view by posing as a simpleton since you are doing exactly that.

From the Guardian Comments: "Perhaps he would like to explain why ******** didnt join him in trying to get the police to remove details from their database."
If he is a police man this could be seen as especially concerning.
We're just going round in circles here, I don't agree with you and your views and you don't agree with mine, I wish your lot would stop rioting in my town and you hope they carry on doing it, you see violence as a legitimate way to get your point across and I don't.
I've looked at SmashEDO on YouTube and just can't believe the levels of aggression and provocation shown towards to police (how did I know you'd blame them for starting the violence - lol!).
Maybe one day you'll change but if you are telling the truth and you are actually older than a student then sadly I think you're too entrenched in this angry and violent way of life to ever change.
Whether that person has applied to have details removed from a database or not is, I assume, not public information and should be kept confidential.
Also as the person mentioned does not have a criminal record it is not acceptable to broadcast their name to the world in connection with this issue. They may have reasons to not want to be connected and that should be respected. Instead, this information has been made public by JHunty to try to personally attack the litigant. If he is a policeman then this is really, really wrong.
As has become quite clear that the police do not respect an individual's right to privacy at all!!
I'll ignore your comments about me being violent as being slightly indicative of your limited experience of these issues.
If you didn't cause so much trouble you'd actually be a quite comical individual.
You're great at making assumptions and stereotyping people. Same as Bladesboy except not nearly as bonkers (I wouldn't insult anybody by comparing them to Bladesboy).
Guess away and go into stereotype overdrive if you like since it does nothing to forward your argument.
I can only say again that by insulting me and making up "back-stories" about me you do nothing to address any actual arguments you might want to push forward.
I might add that those who rely on stereotypes to make sense of the world betray their limited outlook and intelligence.
You talk about my hatred yet you were the one who earlier was calling us scum and wishing rubber bullets on us. Very interesting that!
Sounds like you're the angry one. You're the one who's advocating violence against people. I'll make no guesses about the reasons you might have these violent instincts.
Having seen the average SmashEDO rioter on YouTube I wouldn't talk about limited intelligence if I were you - lol!!!
On the other hand you only have to look at some of the idiotic comments and arguments put forward on this list to see where the intelligence deficit is.
Look at one of the most prolific posters on your side of the argument. Dear old Bladesboy: positive proof of my point. He's hardly a shining example of intelligence. Poor boy. Gotta feel sorry for him really.
Well it seems like you now have the support of the English Defence League for your protest - that speaks volumes to me and sums up the type of people who support SmashEDO.

The person who posted this clearly does not understand the quite simple politics behind the to groups but was simply trying to suggest violent motivations.
Of course there is no reason why ordinary people might not be confused if they don't understand the politics and I'm really not having a go at AmboGuy here who fell for it as he can only take the post at face value which is fair enough.
But if you ever wanted solid proof that there are people who wish to slur SmashEDO then this post from "EDL Supporter" together with many posts full of lies from JHunty serve as good examples.

The idea that you will be marching against an arms factory with people who are anti-Israel, UK and US foreign policy just because you hate the police and Government is pretty confused given the EDL's politics.
I don't think you know enough about SmashEDO or EDL politics to give us any convincing evidence you are who you say you are.
And it really isn't a myth about the pubs. The EDL marches are a glorified pub-crawl.
Most of the EDL are politically naive to start with but you just don't have a clue. You might convince the likes of Amboguy but anyone else would take a lot more convincing.

I'm sorry but we are not on the same side. I abhor everything the EDL stand for. Well with the exception of their new policy against local arms dealers that is.
But looking on the bright side it's nice to see that at least one EDL supporter in Brighton has publicly surrendered and come over to our way of thinking.

The idea that SmashEDO would march side by side with the EDL is laughable.
I suggest you head to the EDL website or take a look at the Brighton Infidels FB page to try to get some idea about the politics of your so called beliefs as I think you're a tiny bit confused.
As you say not really any point carrying on this conversation since you won't tell us anything about how your EDL beliefs can be reconciled with being anti-arms trade. But then you're not really EDL are you.

I'm sorry you don't want us there but as I have already stated we were welcomed by SmashEDO on the last march. There's no point us continuing this little back and forth conversation, We'll be on your march again, I suggest if you don't like us then you shouldn't go and speak to us (btw I know about 25 people coming so more than your estimate).
EDL Supporter wrote:So why are you as an EDL Supporter against an arms factory in Brighton?
Well we had some supporters at your last demo and we had generally good support from the SmashEDO demonstrators. We were open and made it clear who we were and the vast majority of the SmashEDO protesters we spoke to actually supported our cause once we had dispelled some of the lies told about us just as we supported theirs.
The idea that SmashEDO would march side by side with the EDL is laughable.
I suggest you head to the EDL website or take a look at the Brighton Infidels FB page to try to get some idea about the politics of your so called beliefs as I think you're a tiny bit confused.
As you say not really any point carrying on this conversation since you won't tell us anything about how your EDL beliefs can be reconciled with being anti-arms trade. But then you're not really EDL are you.
Its laughable that its laughable and to be frank I'm not laughing, just confused that someone could believe in more than one thing. I'm also confused with my confusion as I was clear on my cause and know that anyone who isn't clear and supportive must technically be the enemy and worthy of destruction (metaphorically of course), yet in pursuing this philosophy that I think makes me as bad as the people I am challenging.
Then there is this other thing. Apparently the metal pins that EDO make incorporate recycled materials and as you know the supply chain is long and almost untraceable, however I think I may have contributed.
And then there's this other thing, I've been a bit crazy recently posting fanatical and sometimes whimsical type statements and mummy says its all getting a bit too much for me. I've also skipped some of my tablets and the twitch is back and its gnawing away at me.
Oh yes and I think people aren't actually being honest with me when they post on this site and then when I have re-read their comments and mine, maybe I am not being honest as well.
Mummy is going to make cocoa with milk as she says it will calm me a little and said I should rest. But I have so much to say and do and people need to remember how important my protest is and respect it, yes respect it......oh the twitch has started again! If only daddy was still alive he'd know what to do.
Let's see how long you last before you get banned from the Argus list again.

JHunty wrote: Wow, the Smash Edo bunch really dont seem to have much of an argument, EDO = Hitler? What rubbish, and as a matter of fact, Smash Edo have all ways claimed there was a BOMB factory in Brighton, one of their big lies. They remind me of the anti abortion protestors, so convinced of the justice of their cause that the laws of the land dont apply to them. Our military intervention in Libya, made possible by companies like EDO did more to further the cause of human rights than anything Smash Edo will ever achieve, whilst the Greens would have sat back and done nothing. I remember the conflicts that sprung up in Serbia after the break up of the Soviet Union and our shameful do nothing attitude back then. Never again. Sometimes military intervention is the right thing to do. Smash Edo and the Greens are the same sort of people who supported appeasment and opposed Britain rearming in the lead up to WW2, as a consequence we were kicked out of continental Europe and the Nazis were given free rein to inflict their racial theories on the occupied countries of europe. The fantasy land that Smash Edos elitist clique of leaders live in bears no resemblance to the real world. The constant lies about the police being responsible for the disruption that Smash Edo seek to inflict on Brighton dont add up, their violence cannot be squared with their claims to be peaceful protestors. Its very telling that they are unable to retain supporters and constantly have to recruit new sheeple, I guess even their own supporters get sick of the lies and hypocrisy and the failed tactics endlessly repeated by the elitist clique who issue their orders from on high. What happened to last years summer of discontent? Cancelled due to lack of interest? It is the fanticism shown by Smash Edo that makes the world a dangerous place, Churchill might have been a reactionary old twit at times but his quote on fantatics is relevant to Smash Edo A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. Or as the great Grayson Perry would say, Hold your beliefs lightlyjhunty The Hitler material was simply responding to an earlier post raising the old chestnut that without the arms industry Hitler world have won WW2. In fact companies like EDO MBM's parent company ITT were openly supportive of fascism, (not just Hitler) but also in Spain in the 20s and 30s where the US ambassador described the founder of ITT, Sosthenes Behn as 'rabidly pro-fascist' in his support for Franco.

2527 4387 Later in the 60s and 70s ITT help fund a CIA backed military coup against the elected government of Chile leading to the fascist dictatorship of General Pinochet. You can read about that here: http://foia.state.go v/Reports/ChurchRepo rt.asp More recently (2007) ITT pleaded guilty to criminal violations of US arms control laws selling military technology to China, and settled a legal action by paying a $100million dollar fine You can read about that here: www.justice.gov/nsd/ .../itt_statement_by _usattorney.pdf As for Cllr Janio's arms company in Crawley, Thales Training and Simulation Ltd, it too has a history of dodgy activities in the world of business Some of its former business partners have even set up a website denouncing its unethical behavior. See more here: http://www.ethicalth ales.co.uk/index.htm l Add to that EDO MBM's own unlawful activities (lies in court, deception of authorities over the origins of its components etc) and the picture looks even more dodgy. So Cllr Tony Janio and his ex-Head of Sussex CID former police chief, Cllr Graham Cox who proposed the motion against Smash EDO ( and its fictional about a plan to disrupt the Jubilee) are up to their necks in a history of corruption, criminality and unethical business going back decades.
Really? That's actually what you are trying to say?
I have heard of Holocaust deniers, but I have never previously encountered "Allied weaponry" deniers before.
If that's how ludicrous you have to get to attempt to maintain your 'point' then you have completely given up.
EDO appear completely and totally safe if their opposition consists of people like you.
