Press Releases & Updates 2004

We particularly focused on their leading part in developing a new generation of nuclear weapons at Atomic Weapons Establishment, Aldermaston. The large red arrow with the words "Lockheed Bomb Makers" pointing from the busy Vauxhall Bridge Road to the relatively modest appearing offices in Carlisle Place did its work well. Many people took leaflets and several were seen reading them. Some engaged in lively discussion.

One angry man accused us of creating a terrorist target. He worked in the same building but said not for Lockheed Martin. He said that if there were an almighty explosion there in a few weeks time he would blame us. It was the week the US had issued warnings of likely terrorist attacks in the US, British Police had arrested 13 people on suspicion of terrorism and it was announced the Home Office is planning even tighter terrorism laws. He was not willing to hear us pointing out that Lockheed Martin was creating a terrorist target and also creating the means of terrorizing people by developing more "useable" nuclear weapons.

Despite several visits by community support police we were neither warned nor arrested. We were apparently not regarded as a potential terrorist threat.
