The media are wrong to pin the blame for the Canadian Conservatives' loss on Trump, says Prof James Allan. In truth, the Tories' vote was sky high ? but the Left-wing vote coalesced around Carney.

Civilians Weapons Inspection and Bike Ride

category down | miscellaneous | event notice author Sunday June 13, 2004 12:27author by Miriam - Belfast Lisburn Ethical Investment Campaign (BLEIC)author email turley_miriam at hotmail dot com Report this post to the editors

19th June, from Belfast to Drumaness

We're cycling the 20 miles to Drumaness to voice our disgust at the presence of the Thales weapons storage and testing facility. Part of an ongoing campaign by BLEIC against the Belfast-based weapons manufacturer. Also check out FEIC, who are doing a stellar job making raytheon feel uncomfortable in Derry.

Fancy Saving the World from the Forces of Evil and getting a bit of exercise at the same time?
Then join us on a bike ride to the Thales Air Defence weapons storage facility near Drumaness on Saturday the 19th of June. We’ll be making the 40 mile round trip starting at 10:15am, meeting up at the Thales Facility at 12:15 pm with local concerned citizens and councillors from the Ballinahinch/Downpatrick area, to make our protest at the production and export of arms from Northern Ireland to war torn countries around the world, and arriving back in Belfast around 4:30pm.

~We want to tell Thales, and other arms companies in Northern Ireland that we don’t accept their patronage, and would rather eat our bicycles than welcome their business here.
~We want to tell the UK government to stop spending excruciating amounts of tax-payers' money on subsidising the industry, and start paying for things we want, like sustainable energy sources and a decent public transport system.
~And we want to tell everyone else in NI to start demanding a place to live that we can be proud of, rather than one that is partly funded on other people’s misery.

We’ll meet at 10:15 at the main entrance to Ormeau Park by the Ormeau Bridge. Bring costumes, noise makers, FOOD, suncream, and a rain mac. There may be transport for some people’s bikes if you only want to go one way and make your way back on public transport.

Contact Mark on (0044) (0)7715110517 for more details or directions.
