"Lockheed Martin and the census" by Andrew

UK news submitted by andrew on Tuesday, 25th March 2008. 12:12 PM

Merchants of death Lockheed Martin are in the bidding to compile the 2011 UK census. There are two objections to this. Firstly, taxpayers' money should not be used to reward a corporation that has brought death and misery to millions. At the same time, there are also fears about the information that they would collect and whether it would be passed to the US government.

Lockheed Martin, the world's largest military contractor, was recently ordered to pay $2.5 million dollars in a race discrimination lawsuit.¹

What you can do:
