CADU Action at Armed Forces Recruitment Centre
Many bemused passers- by took one look at the front of the leaflet we gave out in front of the Manchester Armed Forces Recruitment office on July 29th and immediately turned it over to see what it was all about. They obviously didn’t see the connection between the picture of the wheelchair and the military. (They can’t have been reading our newletters!) . We hope that those young men, perhaps “persuaded” by their benefits offices into visiting the recruitment centre, will think twice about joining up after reading our leaflet. We noticed that the soldiers staffing the centre were very keen that potential recruits avoid contact with us and these were ushered in very speedily when we engaged them in conversation! This was a useful exercise in giving out information that has been denied to British soldiers in the past and that even now is not welcomed by the authorities. It is something a very small group of people can do in any town that has an army recruitment office. It would also be useful to leaflet any recruitment or military information stand at a summer fair or agricultural show. Please contact the office if you would like some leaflets or if you would like to borrow the excellent posters that DAAMDU have produced. You can use your own props, such as an empty wheelchair or a zimmer frame! We have a right to demonstrate peacefully. Let's use it as often as we can.
