Breakfast with Caterkillar

Caterkillar - Homewrecker of the Year 2004 Yesterday, we went to the Caterpillar offices near Solihull to present them with their well-deserved Homewrecker of the Year Award, and to ask the employees to take up the issue of arms sales to Israel with the company (see  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2004/05/291298.html).

Unfortunately, the employees were too shy to leave the building to talk to us. So this morning, we thought we'd join them for breakfast in the car park as they arrived for work.

Caterkillar refuses to accept Housewrecker of the Year award

A work of art. How could they refuse? Many of us have protested against Caterkillar in the past, on the High Street, at trade fairs, in their offices and in their factories (see links).

We have seen the error of our ways.
