Birmingham HLS Demos

Protestors entered the premises of Dupont at Mimsworth and had a good look round the offices before being thrown out by irate factory workers.

Charles-Schwab in Birmingham, who hold 5^ million shares in HLS, was then visited. Activists entered the ‘Share Shop’ area to inform customers and staff of the company’s dirty dealings. One protestor was arrested on ‘suspicion of burglary’ due to the discovery of a ‘non-standard’ disc. The company’s computer system was then shut down for hours for fear of viral infection. However, it turned out to belong to an employee doing a spot of work on the side! More actions planned.
