The nefarious pair also had 2 supermarket trollies full of weapons and a large banner saying 'Arms Sale'. The chase ended at the Army Recruitment office where the dealers had hoped to sell there goods. This was closed so they went back up Fargate. One thousand leaflets were handed out advertising Disarm DSEi and a public meeting in Sheffield about DSEi this Thursday.

The meeting is at St Mathews Church Rooms on Carver St (S1) at 7.30pm and will talk about the arms industry, DSEi and direct action including some films of action both here and abroad.

Why not tell the arms dealers to get a proper job and do something useful?

No mate, a week of work to pay taxes to subsidise the arms trade. These people *are* doing something useful, they're fighting against injustice. Don't scapegoat them. Blame the real culprits. The arms industry takes ridiculous amounts of cash from the government, as do loads of other companies which threaten to pull out of Britain if the government doesn't reduce their taxes and subsidise them with our taxes.

Also, what gives you the right to speak on behalf of the entire "working class of sheffield"?

What's wrong with masturbation anyhow? Maybe THE WORKING CLASS OF SHEFFIELD are a bit too frustrated, or even repressed??

Working class? Yeah right!

Working class? Who elected you spokesman anyway? You did? Yeah, that's typical working class procedure isn't it?

You ought to change your alias to Lumpen tracksuit-wearing Burberry-hatted wanker? Go back to reading your Sun or whatever shite you read, if you can even read.
Why don't you write under your real name instead of hiding?

All that aside, how come you complain about people being on the dole (amazing how you KNEW that they were on the dole by the way)?

How about complaining about all the tax money being given to deadly parasites like Murdoch, like export credits to dictators, liek plots to destabilise emerging democracies elsewhere?

You don't complain about things like this because you are a SCAB. If you really are working class (let's drop this pretence) then that is the best way to shut you up.
