A small group of protestors were joined by a small group of fans at the Queen's opening of the "Factory of the Future", Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre in Rotherham on 18th November 2010.




















The Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre is sponsored by the University of Sheffield, Boeing and Rolls-Royce.

the head of our corrupt state is visiting rotherham's advanced manufacturing park for a ground breaking ceremony to open the nuclear research facility on site with rolls royce

this park is going to be the training ground and knowledge transfer centre for all new nuclear developments on top of this companies such as castings technology international are making parts for drones, Taranis Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle, the Joint Strike Fighter, the M777 Lightweight Howitzer and the Future Naval Gun.

Royal Visit to Death Park!

War lords Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh will visit Rotherham's cutting edge DEATH PARK 'factory of the future' this week!

They will tour the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre at Catcliffe on Thursday. This sick global research facility is the experiment centre of heavy construction, nuclear, aerospace and defense corporations. Boeing, Rolls Royce, BAE, and UK and US Military all have their talons in this centre supported by the Sheffield and Manchester Uni's. Casting Technology International one of the businesses already operating at the park makes parts for 'drones' (unmanned aerial and ground vehicles) on site as well as other defence hardware for such instruments of death as the Taranis Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle, the Joint Strike Fighter, the M777 Lightweight Howitzer and the Future Naval Gun.

How lovely for the queen to be able to view first hand the innovative and advanced technological solutions of how to profit from death, raping of the earth and oppression of the people.

The Advanced Manufacturing Park has already been operating for over a year and now her Majesty will be leading a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of construction for the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (NAMRC) with Rolls Royce. She will also visit University of Sheffield, Sheffield Cathedral and the Gripple Factory.

Small group?

18.11.2010 16:40

I count 4. I don't think that even qualifies as a group.

@james, even if there are only 4 people, does it matter the point was made loud and clear, good on ya, naughty ones, keep us informed of the next day of action, i will come up soon

artfulldodger


definitely a group

18.11.2010 16:53

Quality not quantity, I say.
You only need three for a riot.
Would it be better to stay at home thinking 'there aren't enough of us to do anything'?
I don't think so.
Maybe next time, friends from nearby (Sheffield for instance) will come along and support.
Nice one, Rotherham.

Hmmmm...from these photos it seems like there were more police present than public.?

I wonder if the state therefore thinks that the Queen and her bloke are a threat?...or perhaps is it that the Queen, Duke, royalty have something to hide, protect, defend, perhaps?....mysteryfying!!

Anyone of the great "unwashed" South Yorkshire republic viewing these photos can clearly see where their, erm, hard-earned, tax dollars are going to.....its the poolice innit?

EAT THE RICH - DO IT NOW.!

Yah, that is a most most perspicacious comment and has nothing to do with anti-semitism
How good to see that small comment on a placard
Well done you few, and to hell with the serpentine Saxe-Coburg-Gothes - no doubt got vast investments in these advanced weapons companies
The site was well gifted with orgonite before the reptilian opening ceremony
I hope to join you in further demonstrations

Paul


They're not happy!

19.11.2010 09:37

From the photo's it looks Queen Liz and her police force, couldn't raise a smile between them.

I've heard that parasites don't like orgonite - thanks for gifting the area.

Dave


nice one for being there.
