RUBBISH ARREST OF THE WEEK

For recycling

One Wrexham woman found herself on the wrong side of the law when she helped herself to four plastic garden chairs from a privatised council tip. The Waste Recycling Group - instead of lending her a hand for helping push towards their target of 65% of all rubbish being recycled – phoned the cops.

One house search later and the chairs have been returned to their rightful place: a landfill, and the would-be Womble is waiting to see if the CPS is going charge her under the Theft Act.

The Smash EDO campaign would like to invite you to join the Carnival Against the Arms Trade - a big, lively and interactive experience featuring live music, a critical mass bike ride (meeting 11.30am by Brighton train station), and other creative festivities of resistance. Bring your own whistles - instruments - banners - masks or anything else you can think of. The event will have a theme of red to symbolise the victims of the arms trade.

So far this year has been a hectic but successful one for the Smash EDO, especially with the campaign film ‘On the Verge’ touring the country, despite heavy police repression.

The Carnival will be a great opportunity to show EDO that the movement is bigger than ever and growing. If you want to promote it yourself in any way, flyers can be downloaded from the website below.

Meet June 4th, The Level, Brighton, 12 noon. See www.smashedo.org.uk/carnival.htm
