Smash EDO Target McDonalds May 4th '09

Mcdonalds own shares in the infamous arms manufacturer EDO/ITT so Brighton based activists named a franchise on an 'anti-militarists map of Brighton' which they handed out at the start of a march. The video shows a confrontation with the police as forces tried to prevent protesters going near the restaurant.

Anti Capitalism is Communism. Dont be fooled by the hippies, they want us all to have nothing like them. They think its easier that we all give up work and forage for dingle berries than it is for them to get a job.

Actually they may be on to something there. I think there might actually be a better chance of a communist government in britain than them being offered a job!!!

Nothing better than the old bill whacking these fucking jobless hippys.

2 be fair it really wouldn't take a lot for to find out what the protest was about. If you think their methods are wrong then why don't you suggest or instigate an alternative. The point is, someone has to do something about the arms industry, and these guys are the only people actually putting some effort in, nine people are facing jail sentances for decommisioning the weapons factory in brighton, are you as eager to label them children?
