“The factories targeted were #BAESystems in Samlesbury, near Preston, #Leonardo in Edinburgh and #Rafael in Newcastle. Groups from across the UK joined, travelling hours at a time to support the blockades”

this morning i woke up to news that kid starver, the worst rated prime minister in u.k. history, and his fascist #labour government are developing plans to build 12 #ArmsFactories in deprived and often already extremely polluted areas in the u.k.

this news came after the MoD leaked plans to #TheFerret, an independent news outlet for investigative journalists in #scotland..

waking up to the #news that leaked documents from the #MoD reveal locations for potential new #ArmsFactories in the so-called #UK.

"sites under consideration include parts of the #grangemouth industrial complex, the #finnart oil terminal on #LochLong, and locations in #cumbria, #teesside, #northumberland, #southampton and #wales".

in #teesside, i bet it's the old chemical site in #StocktonOnTees right next to a huge residential estate that has already been polluted for decades.

these arms factories are supposed to create a 1000 jobs in total, with the potential to kill many thousands more.

#GifsArtidote: #capitalist murderous greed, that's what it is, & we should not accept this & strongly resist these plans. 😡
affected communities should immediately set up resistance groups & develop positive, green, peaceful & community-led alternatives that create more jobs & develop these impoverished areas sustainably & healthily for everyone.
