Campaigners are staging protests outside a number of British defence factories in the latest demonstration against arms being sent to Israel. The campaign group Workers for a Free Palestine said it had blockaded sites in Lancashire, Bournemouth, Glasgow and Brighton, some of which are operated by defence giant BAE Systems. The company’s shipyard in Glasgow was targeted in the early morning protests, which the campaign group said demonstrated it was escalating its action after previous blockades. The demonstrators are urging BAE and other companies to end their ties with Israel and cease all weapons, defence and supplies trading with them.
