Stopping the war will hurt british workers in their pockets. It'll also hurt the people who buy our products and take the incentives." Martin Braun, the firm's Director of Obfuscation told reporters on the barricade.</p> <p>Speaking from inside the Coalition's offices on Vauxhall Bridge Road, Philomena Doyle said BAE was acting inhumanely.</p> <p>"We've only got a day's supply of humus, falafels and Fairtrade coffee left. This blockade must be lifted now. If you thought Gaza was bad, try sitting in here with Troy; he's not using soap as part of a protest against palm oil and it's bloody hot in here!" </p>
