hi there - sorry this is a bit late, but I guess it's better than  
nothing. I'm sure there's lots more stuff that others can add that I  
haven't had time to find, sorry. Feel free to do whatever to it.

cheers, beetle

Abstract:
<p>
Following a <a href="/en/2007/07/374814.html">call-out</a> from <a
href="http://www.dsei.org/index.php">Disarm DSEi</a>, a wave of autonomous
actions against the arms trade took place around the UK over the weekend
of 28-30 July, 2007.
  Actions included a <a href=" /2007/07/376872.html">protest at Heckler &
Koch's</a> small arms factory in Nottingham; visits to <a
href="/en/2007/07/377313.html">arms manufacturer Raytheon and mercenary
company Erinys</a> in London and to arms factory <a
href="/en/2007/07/377363.html">EDO MBM in Brighton; an <a
href="/en/2007/07/377325.html">Anti-DSEi stall</a> in Brick Lane, East
London, to raise funds for the Space Hijackers to 'buy a tank'; and
protests at the <a href="/en/2007/07/377328.html">MOD Defence Export
Services Organisation</a> and the adjacent <a
href="/en/2007/07/377345.html">armed forces recruitment centre</a>.</p>
<p>
But this is just the beginning; activists are flexing their muscles ready
to take on the world's largest arms fair when it returns to the Excel
Centre in East London on 11th-14th September.
