A British Army recruitment stall in Belfast city centre was closed down today by anti-war activists who held a picket at the booth.

Perhaps the British Army are in need of more cannon fodder before they support the US if/when it attacks Iran (and they will support the US no matter what). The protestors made the British Army's record of murder and mayhem in Afghanistan and Iraq clear to passers by in Shaftsbury Square and sounded a strong message of "No War on Iran".

During the protest one of the British Army recruiters threaten to shoot the protestors, and then the PSNI were called in to remove the picketers. However they stayed until the end and eventually the recruiters took off with their mobile recruitment booth tucked firmly between their legs.
