&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;just thought you guys might be interested to know that the worlds biggest arms fair has been happenning at the ExCel centre in London's docklands all this week. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Its organised &amp;amp; paid for by the Defence Export Services Organisation, a part of the UK government that employs 600 people &amp;amp; exists solely to promote UK arms sales abroad (yes we DO live in a capitalist dictatorship). 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;DESO also executes a policy to ensure that if any foreign parties default on their arms payments, the UK taxpayer pays the difference 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Policing DSEI costs £6 million, and is also paid for by the taxpayer, even though all profits are made by private compnies. If you think about it, the majority of arms are paid for by taxpayers, as they are usually bought by governments. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;there's been alot of protests, indeed I had my skateboard pinched by Superintendent Alan King of 'strategic planning ring' yesterday night, and am currently in the process of trying to get it back. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;there's a whole load of coverage of the protests online at www.indymedia.org.uk 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&amp;amp; protest info at www.dsei.org 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;UK protest calendar at protest.net/imcuk/ 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;remember - your rights will slowly disappear down the plughole unless you stand up for them! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We are protesting for the people who are unable to protest - they're in Iraq being shot at by British &amp;amp; American soldiers, and UK taxpayers are making it happen!

&lt;br/&gt;Britain is one of the most crime-ridden countries in Europe. Particularly in the area of joy-riding, the UK has placed itself as a leading country. Being allowed the freedom of not strictly adhering to boring, constraining laws, British youth are thus enriched by an element of creativity that will no doubt be of immense benefit later in life. The occasional accidents during joyriding are best regarded as a regrettable side-effect in the larger interest of society. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The skills acquired during childhood are for example used to provide additional income during the early twenties, when life is difficult. Such income is typically achieved by visiting property and temporarily borrowing effects that can sweeten the hardship of the young fellows. In order not to disturb the occupants, such visits are normally unannounced. Such sociable behaviour witnesses the success of their upbringing. The more creative visitors will visit the same property several times, having figured out that occupants would not expect them to come back. However, should the occupants interfere with the good order of a visit, they must understand that they will feel the full weight of the judicial system. The first and foremost priority of the law is to protect innocent victims. Should an occupant be so unreasonable as to request visitors to leave their property, and should they accidentally touch a visitor, they will find themselves in court faster than an educated youth can say "joyriding". 
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
