After their initial disappointment that the Arms Fair wasn’t a fun fair after all, clowns wanting to find out more about the nasty arms dealers of this Unfair Fair, visited various arms dealers, suppliers and buyers, including BAE, US Embassy, Saudi Embassy, Aegis.

Clowns and tourists were detained on South Audley St, W1, then forced to continue the tour under police escort. This ensured an even higher profile in and around the West End and more interaction with members of the public, who wanted to know why this bunch of clowns and tourists would warrant such police protection.
