This afternoon, about 15 students attended the University Engineering Society "meet your new employer day" at the Guildhall in Cambridge. This included such lovely folk as Rolls Royce, GKN, ExxonMobil, QinetiQ, Shell and Thales. The demonstrators went inside and screamed next to the Rolls Royce and GKN stands to protest against these companies. They were ejected by University proctors.

The action follows the start of a campaign in Cambridge to get the university to disinvest from arms companies.
Rolls Royce manufactures engines for military aircraft that have been sold to such lovely companies as Indonesia, Burma amd Saudi Arabia. GKN makes components for military aircraft used in Indonesia, Pakistan, Israel, China and Turkey.
