BRIM AND PROPER
An EDO Decommissioners solidarity action organised by Target Brimar took place in Manchester this Monday (17th). Target Brimar is a campaign group opposing Brimar, the Manchester based company which makes military components used by the British and American armies in Iraq and Afghanistan and by Israeli forces in Palestine and Lebanon.
Nine protesters leafleted outside Barclays (the UK’s largest investor in the global arms sector including EDO/ITT) on Mosley Street, brandishing banners and placards. The picket started at 12.30 to coincide with the street’s busy lunchtime hour.
All Brighton locals are cordially invited to a Barclays picket on Saturday 22nd May outside the North Street branch starting at 11am.
