QinetiQ Opposed in Great Malvern

ARMS TRADE, DEATH TRADE

Arms dealing company QinetiQ has been focused on in Great Malvern by local activists opposed to their involvement in the global war machine and links to the Israeli military. This large research & development site, where the initial plans for new weaponry are created, has never had any attention in the past despite being involved in such sickening trades.

On Sunday afternoon, the site only had skeleton staff on who were told that the company there are employed by are involved in global death and will be opposed.

On Monday morning campaigners ran through the gates of the 'top secret' centre and were not noticed by the security guards until leaving. Staff were seen into work and informed of campaigners disgust.

On Monday lunchtime as staff were leaving for their break, campaigners again ran through the other entrance of the site but guards were more on the ball.

We will be returning to QinetiQ on a regular basis in the future and letting them know the opposition to their involvement in the war machine.

Dear -=(A)=-
Perhaps you might better spend your time researching, to ensure your protests are based upon correct facts as it seems to me perhaps you don't seem to have much of an idea. May I also suggest spending Sunday afternoons with your families is a more proactive way forward? And Mondays you could perhaps find a community related proactive job to do? Just suggestions - its obviously up to you.

just keep giving these companies hell. they hate office 'visits' and will do and say anything to stop you intruding of their place of work, this is because they really do dislike being confronted 'on site'.

keep at it
