Dear Alex Baker MP
RE: BAE and Thales in Farnborough
In Farnborough, your constituency, there is an annual event being held that caters to war criminals. It connects buyers and sellers to discuss so called ‘defence procurement’. It is held by DPRTE at the Farnborough Exhibition Centre.
Companies included this year are BAE Systems and Thales.
BAE Systems has multiple export licenses to Israel. They are the main UK company involved in F-35 production. These F-35 Jet Fighters have been used to commit atrocities against civilians and violate international law.
Thales also has multiple export licenses to Israel. They also own UAV Tactical Systems (along with Elbit). These tactical drones are being used to massacre and surveil civilians.
As a reminder, the onslaught in Gaza has been described as a GENOCIDE by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and MSF (Doctors Without Borders). Israel repeatedly break the ceasefire daily.
BAE Systems and Thales have facilitated horrific war crimes.
Now they are coming to Farnborough to continue their horror show.
I remind you, at least 37,496 people have been killed in Gaza (according to the Lancet Medical Journal) though they estimate the real number could be as high as 15 times that!
Surely you do not condone genocide?
Surely you will not let these warmongering companies into our town to trade.
Your job as my representative is to:
- Speak up in Parliament. We need the support of you and your colleagues to stop these powerful companies from poisoning our town.
- Talk to the Farnborough Exhibition Centre. Warn them that they are facilitating bloodthirsty corporations’ weapons sales for use in war crimes.
We ask that no weapon be bought or sold ever again in your constituency to those committing war crimes. This is an annual event that will continue to facilitate war crimes without your intervention!
