btw to respond to the comment about how if they didn't make them someone else would: the components they make that are essential for the planes, are only made by 2 companies in the world. one is the U.S and one is Brimar.
plus it is important to us that a campaign is local and sustained in order for it to be effective (as noam chomsky says). In this way we are reclaiming our own community and what is made in it. We want to say NO to all war. Not just when there is a big news story about a specific war. We live in an age where war in continuous and our fight against it should also be.
This company is on our doorstep, in our community and we don't want it. If all communities and peoples work together in the name of love to overcome oppresion and torture of others there will be no more wars..sorry i nearly quoted bill hicks then but thought i'd just hippy-out...
to be honest though i find discussions of this nature really difficult, flippant, frustrating and often vulgar on internet forums. I was simply telling people about the ride, and offering information. If people wish to speak about such issues I suggest they do so face to face, with factual information. I have a really interesting document about Brimar if anyone would like to borrow it please let me know

This afternoon, around 70 people gathered in Chadderton, Greater Manchester at the launch demonstration of the Target Brimar campaign.
The campaign opposes the activities of Brimar, a Manchester-based company which makes military components used by the British and American armies in Iraq and Afghanistan and by Israeli forces in Palestine and Lebanon, and which have also been sold to other militaries around the world. Although the company stresses the 'situational awareness' and defensive role of many of the items it manufactures, it also contributes parts to F16 fighters, Apache attack helicopters and Javelin missiles and lists 'target acquisition systems' for ground-launched missiles amongst its products.
In sunny weather the demonstration – which included generations of Manchester residents, from babies to veteran peace campaigners – started peacefully and in good spirits. Meeting at the Gardeners Arms roundabout in Moston, it proceeded along the Greengate to the industrial estate where Brimar's factory is sited, where food and a children's play area had been set up. The procession included Bike Riders, banners and music.
Unfortunately, during the talks and music which followed, Oldham Police chose to abuse their power by arresting three co-defendants from the Edo Decommissioners trial who were present to show their support for the Target Brimar campaign. The three were arrested for allegedly breaching draconian bail conditions which specify that various co-defendants are not allowed to communicate with one another. Witnesses at the demonstration stressed that the three had deliberately not been communicating with one another and were appalled to see that being in the same geographical area was regarded by Oldham Police as grounds to haul them away, threatening other people with arrest when they tried to intervene.
The Target Brimar demonstration continued after the arrests and wound up early to allow supporters to head to Oldham police station to offer solidarity to the arrested three.
The Target Brimar campaign would also like to express its solidarity and respect for the Edo Decommissioners and their principled action in January this year in carrying out an accountable action which destroyed up to £300,000 worth of equipment used by Edo in Brighton to produce weapons components involved in massive human rights abuses in Palestine, Pakistan and other conflict zones.At the time of writing, supporters at Oldham police station have been informed that the three will be taken to Brighton for a hearing next week (w/c 19th October 2009) but that the time of their transportation is in the hands, not of Oldham Police, but of the private Group 4 security company.

From umbro:
Really appreciate your application to Umbro Industries,
We wanted to inform you that on this occasion you have been unsuccessful
in making the shortlist.The applications have been very strong and it has been really difficult
to decide who should make it through to the next round. It's been
amazing to see the amount of creativity and a commitment to making stuff
happen in Manchester.Good luck with everything and we hope you will apply again to Umbro
Industries over the next two years. The next round of awards will be
made in February. We are committed to helping emerging talent make this
city a better place.UMBRO INDUSTRIES
