12.30pm on Thursday 22th January, people had gathered at the Council House Steps in Market Square, to protest about the activities of the gun manufacturer, Heckler & Koch. Offices of the company are based at Unit 3, Easter Park Industrial Estate on Lenton Lane, Nottingham.

Over the last year or so, people have protested at the gates of the Industrial Estate on Lenton Lane. This was the first event, held in the Market Square, in the hope of putting the issue before more members of the public.

Regular monthly Pickets at Easter Park, the SECOND MONDAY of the month (at 12:30);
also they we will now hold an additional monthly protest and fliering session in Market Square, every FORTH THURSDAY (at 12:30), meet by the lions on the City Council House steps.

To highlight the link between the arms trade and refugees, Shut Down H&K and No Borders Nottingham held a demonstration on Saturday 29th November in Market Square in Nottingham called "FULL CIRCLE – from weapons to wars to refugees".

There was a good turnout, in spite of the freezing weather. Leaflets handed out, drums banged, speeches made. and banners displayed. Further, to highlight their concerns, some folks held a "die-in" to help illustrate their worries for the violence attributed to the arms trade and its consequences.

No, in 2002 BAE Systems sold H&K to a quartet of private investors including Andreas Heeschen, a German businessman and London socialite who has donated £73250 to the Conservative Party, and British arms dealer Keith Halsey, who spends his ill-gotten gains cruising the Mediterranean in an ice-breaker ship complete with helipad.
