Sheffield students disrupt BAE recruitment drive
Shortly after noon on 30th October, a group of activists entered the Yorkshire Autumn Graduate Recruitment Fair, unrolled two banners (reading "get your bloody hands off our graduates" and "study war no more") outside the Rolls-Royce stall, and began leafleting (which was banned inside the fair) until security turned up. At this point some activists began negotiating with them, while others snuck away and started leafleting outside the BAE and QinetiQ stalls. We leafleted outside the fair until we ran out. Nothing terribly dramatic, but it put the various death-dealers and profiteers present on the defensive, and maybe it will have helped to change a few graduates' minds.
