SCHNEWS IN BRIEF

* In a case of ‘our gun is bigger than yours’, campaigners against small arms manufacturer Heckler and Koch marched a 25ft rifle through the streets of Nottingham and up to H&K HQ at Lenton industrial estate last Friday (13th). Having failed to end militarism with big small arms, activists are now planning to turn to the even bigger death machines and have decided to march a 15ft tank to (ironically-named) Chilwell army barracks in protest against Britain’s war mongering. See www.shutdownhk.org.uk

* Newhaven Stop Incineration Now! the campaign against the planned incinerator at Newhaven, near Brighton, is staging three days of workshops, forums, music, film and free food and wine on November 27th-29th. Venues to be announced around Newhaven, six miles east of Brighton. For more information call 07505016362, write mkechnge7@wildmail.com, or see http://stopincineration.webs.com

* What a bunch of twats - SchNEWS is now on Twitter (not that any of us know how to use it) see www.twitter.com/schnews. Also - did you know that the SchNEWS website now takes comments on articles (but we remove nutcase postings so don’t bother.)
