Some interesting statistics and facts for our protest (just like the Air Shows who like to boast their interesting stats)
- Over 50 people involved in the protest, on the front line and in support.
- Transport for banners, protest material and protesters kindly provided by the UK Police force
- 10,000 offensive leaflets distributed (see here for front page and back page)
- Forced the Air Tattoo to implement crude and embarrassing censorship to prevent the leaflets being circulated inside the base.
- Millions of pounds of advertising by some of the worst offenders of climate change and human rights totally screwed up.
- Hundreds of pounds raised for charity.
- Not one single arrest made by the police, not even for the A-10 pilots who violated the Geneva Convention by firing depleted uranium in Iraq and Afghanistan.
What would the great Beethoven make of our collective stupidity??
