by Old School Tie - Ladies and Gentlemen Against Bad Things

Engineering Careers Fair 21st October

Well, they may seem harmless now - just binge drinking and shagging there way through the 1st term - and occasional stealing a cone to put on Edward Colston head - but believe or not these people will be the ones who, without gentle persuasion will be leading socially destructive companies like BaE and EoN - and us into oblivion.

They don't all look like that - honest

Now, look here chaps - we know times are tough - Daddy has had to get rid of his second private jet, and mummy has had to cut the staff at the villa on Barbados, but look here, old bean, there hasn't been a better time to end the old family tradition of fucking up the world.

On Wednesday 21 October, the Engineering Careers Fair at Wills Memorial Building will be again upon us with a list of baddies like AWE (Atomic Weapons Establishment) , Balfour Beatty,Bechtel and Rolls Royce (yes, yes, we know Uncles' got three of those already).

So, instead of going for the salary, why not join the human race instead ?

Perhaps there are some people who would like to explain further on the day ?

Exhibitors at last years Fair included:

BAE SYSTEMS Like many arms manufacturers, BAE has received criticism from various human rights and anti-arms trade organisations due to the human rights records of governments to which it has sold equipment. These include Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe, and Israel. They like a bribe or two. www.caat.org.uk

BALFOUR BEATTY Dam and Road Builders. They also like a bribe.
