Text about AGMs removed
[edit]"Annual General Meetings of BAE System"
The AGMs of BAE Systems, during Dick Evans tenure as MD and Chairman, were enlivened by the presence of many small shareholders protesting that the company was a "Merchant of Death"<ref<The Guardian 4 May 2001: "Peace overtures at BAE Systems" by Andrew Clark. For a protester's view, see A CAAT account of AGM 2004.</ref<. At the 2003 Annual General Meeting of BAE Systems, a shareholder unflatteringly addressed Evans as "Captain Pugwash"<ref<The Guardian article 30 April 2003.</ref<. Dick Evans responded with restraint <ref<The restraint at AGMs was by evictions of questioners from the meetings by large numbers of security guards</ref< to various provocations.

Response
[edit]- "The AGMs of BAE Systems, during Dick Evans tenure as MD and Chairman, were enlivened by the presence of many small shareholders protesting" is covered by a reference referring to ONE YEAR (2001) Not 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004.
- Apologies if I'm getting this wrong, but I can't find mention of "Captain Pugwash" in the ref.
- "Dick Evans responded with restraint <ref<The restraint at AGMs was by evictions of questioners from the meetings by large numbers of security guards</ref< -- is immature POV - it is more honestly translated as "Evans responded by having those who disagreed with him thrown out" WITHOUT REFERENCES!.
