Despite the extremely fluffy actions undertaken by activists, which were handing out flyers to visitors (for a while inside the venue as well as on the road outside), and displaying banners, there was a high presence not only of the expected Proctors, but also many police, including a FIT team who made a point of photographing everyone while they were there, but seemed to be strangley camera shy themselves.

Apparently earlier in the day there were at least two vanloads of police in attendance, although by the time activists arrived in numbers they had gone, with 'just' several cars having a visible presence there all of the afternoon, including (I witnessed) the searching of someone's Guitar case at the door!



Some of the exhibitors include...


Proctor & Gamble (vivisection funders)

Eon (Pro Nuclear and Coal power)

Rolls Royce (Arms Manufactors, sponsors of University Engineering Department)

Shell (archetypal oil greenwashers)

...And many more besides.


It would seem that despite previous years' Careers Fairs also having activists in attendance, due to the moral bankrupy of the companies being booked for said event, the University still hasn't figured out that it's actually better for their wider reputation to display some ethics in their booking choices for such an event.


You could always come along and see it for yourself, as it's open again Thursday afternoon (November 6th), by The Mill Pond at The Graduate Centre, although if you're not a Cambridge University Sstudent, you may get ID'ed.
