Brighton is a United Nations Peace Messenger City yet it hosts EDO, an arms factory making bomb-release components for fighter jets. Some contradiction here, surely?
Police "protect" the factory against noisy demonstrators and who foots the bill? The taxpayer.
Now EDO is using a law formulated to protect women from stalkers to ban protests against weapons which have been used to kill women and children in Blair's illegal Iraq war.
As long as profits keep rolling in, I don't suppose they care.
Fortunately, many people in Brighton do care and we should support their right to peaceful protest as long as EDO remains a blot on this city's name.
