SMASH EDO TRILOGY 2006

A round up of three actions on Brighton's very own bomb making factory, EDO/MBM.

AN INSPECTOR CALLS - March 2006. The Brighton Weapons Inspection team return for a second attempt to enter the EDO factory on the third anniversary of the Iraq War. However, security guru Mark Lynch and the cops have other ideas.

LOCKED ON TARGET - July 2006. With Israel attacking the Lebanon and Gaza, three activists lock on to concrete barrels, blocking both gates of the factory.

SHAME - July 2006. "The Horrors of War" demo planned weeks before the Israel attacks started is sobering reminder of the aims of the SMASH EDO campaign. Workers from the factory get a thorough verbal kicking as they head home from work.

"Number One"
EDO DEMO - SAT 10th DEC 2005

Just after the SMASH EDO demo, where the sheer force of numbers meant that the Police had to let the march go ahead, a lone FIT team followed a group of people down London Road. They were obviously assigned to intimidate one particular person who they called "number one" and who they seemed to believe was one of the organisers of the SMASH EDO campaign. Cut off and surrounded they were surprisingly candid when asked what they were doing.

ART OF WAR
- KEEPING UP THE PRESSURE ON EDO

EDO /MGM Brighton's very own bomb making factory have been busy again. This time slapping a ban on filming it's building in Moulescoombe, or it's employees. Unperturbed a group of frustrated artists managed to produce these renderings of EDO and it's cast of colourful characters.

NOISE ANNOYS

EDO/MBM is a factory in Brighton that makes trigger release mechanisms for bombs that are dropped on Iraqi civilians everyday. The Smash EDO campaign has held regular noise demos over the last few months resulting in EDO seeking injunctions on protesters to keep them away from the site using anti-stalking laws.

SchNEWS took a trip up to one of these demos in May 2005 and bumped into an old mate - Mark Thomas.
