No Faith in War DSEI Arms Fair protest
ExCeL Centre, London. Tue 5 Sep 2017
At the West Gate people are walking slowly in front of lorries as
they come towards the fair
and police are coming to move them out of the way
An officer pushes a woman carrying a Palestinian flag who doesn't
want to move
They walk in front of another lorry
and the police drag them away
using considerable force
and one of the women is arrested
Others are singing and holding posters up
'Peace Begins Within - Not WIth Killing'
Another protester walks very slowly in front of another lorry, carrying
a Quaker peace banner
Police walk towards her
and move her away
I go back to the East Gate
where some of the Buddhists are praying and beating drums
Protesters have brought small coffins with photographs of some of
the children killed in war
And an Anglican group has come to sing peace songs
I decide it's time for me to go home
