Red rag to a bulldozer: Sharen Green protests against JCB
‘We’re just a pinprick on the backside of JCB, but we got the story out.’
For three years various organisations and individuals – including me – have been campaigning to stop the sale of JCB bulldozers to Israel, which uses them to demolish Palestinian homes. These campaigners also want to shame the children’s charity NSPCC into refusing cash from JCB. Recently, we heard of a tournament staged by JCB at its own golf course and country club. It was the perfect opportunity to take our protests to the company’s doorstep.
