Arms Embargo NOW!
Coach from Weymouth & Dorchester to Portsmouth Protest
Assemble 11.00 am, Havant Park, PO9 1QF - March at 11.30 to Lockheed HQ for rally at 12.00 noon.
(See coach details below)
Britain is an active participant in Israel’s genocide in Palestine through the arms trade and military collaboration. One of the worst examples is Britain’s role in the F-35 fighter jet supply chain to Israel's squadrons attacking Gaza round the clock.
Vital F-35 parts are transported to RAF Marham and shipped to the Nevatim Airbase in the Negev to equip F-35 squadrons that drop 2,000lb bombs on the Gaza Strip, targetting hospitals, food centres, shelters and residential housing.
Five regional protests will be held across the UK all at sites embedded in the F-35 fighter jet supply chain:
- BAE Systems in Brough, East Yorkshire
- Ultra PCS head office in Cheltenham
- Lockheed Martin UK head office in Havant, Hampshire
- BAE Systems in Rochester, Kent
- Forged Solutions Group in Sheffield
The Dorset PSC coach will join the mass protest at Lockheed Martin UK, in Havant, Portsmouth, from where Lockheed ships F-35 components direct from Britain to Israel.
(Coach places are subsidised. However we do not want ticket cost to be a barrier so do choose the ticket option you can afford. At the same time we do wish to cover as much of the cost as possible for our vital campaigning for Palestine).
