Foil the Base

Foil the Base at Menwith Hill took place on March 22nd 2003.

Menwith Hill plays a crucial role in war on Iraq. As the largest electronic monitoring station in the world it picks up communications from satellites covering the Middle East it even won an award for its eavesdropping in the last Gulf War. It is the brains of any attack on Iraq.

Menwith is also a key base for the project of long-term military aggression - Star Wars.

To foil the base disrupt satellite signals at the base - there was as much foil in the air as possible. Foil kites, foil balloons, foil puppets and plenty more!

Let’s make our demonstrations visible at the real heart of the military machine - if only a fraction of the people marching in London take action at military bases the war will become unworkable.
