On 19 November, following the Trident Ploughshares (TP) annual meeting in London, 15 TP members headed to the UK headquarters of arms manufacturer Lockheed Martin: Cunard House, 15 Lower Regent St. Two people climbed up beside the doors, others leafleted and held banners across the entrance: ‘Lockheed Martin Maker of Weapons of Mass Murder’ and ‘Use Your Skills For Peace’.
Lockheed Martin has a £3.5bn contract from the British government to design and build a new generation of nuclear weapons to replace the current Trident nuclear warheads.
Police arrived, but soon left when they realised that the activists were from Trident Ploughshares.
