Occupy vs the Arms Fair

Eastern Gateway, ExCel Centre, London. Sun 8 Sep 2013

 

 
 Red flags of the Turkish Marxist–Leninist Communist Party

'Stop the Arms Trade' 

Banner, dancers and protesters locked together in front of the gate

 

 

The other gate was blocked by protesters including a cyclist, who explains to a police officer why he isn't moving 

Nor is the samba band

A police officer appears to be thinking about the situation 

 

 
 
The first of several lorries hoping to deliver large exhibits to the arms fair that was blocked

Buddhist monks at the protest

'Sold here Tear Gast. It kills people in Turkey'

Raised Voices choir perfomed at the protest

People make more placards

and the dancing continues

'Incident tape' around the protest reads 'Warning: Arms Trade at Work. This is Not OK

The dancers surround a police van - but they let it go after a short dance

Protesters with scythes and the message 'This is a Dead End - go the way of peace'

The protesters stay locked and police ignore them
