Visitors to Trafalgar Square, Pall Mall and The Mall don’t realise they are near some of the worst sight seeing in London: arms company offices!
MDBA, maker of missiles; Leonardo maker of helicopters, drones, munitions; BAE Systems maker of fight jets have all seen their products used vs schools, hospitals, factories and housing in Yemen. Thousands have been killed in the war, while the UK has sold more than £23 billion of weapons to the Saudi led coalition since it began.
Join us on CAAT’s Solidarity with Yemen Day of Action, as we visit these sites and give them the attention they don’t want. We will hear about their involvement in Yemen, share their stories with passers-by via banners/leaflets, perhaps even take some selfies.
The tour will take about an hour and involve some leisurely walking (under 2 miles). Dress: Tourist (or as you wish!)
We will start at MBDA’s offices at 11 the Strand (between Charing Cross Station and Trafalgar Square) at 2.00pm
