Have you not noticed that Westminster is also the only tube stop that has BAE advertisements too? You won’t see it in any other tube station, for very good reason.
OP, you’re a dork
God forbid the arms industry needs to hire people in light of ongoing events…
not “now”. for a long time.
Westminster stations’s always had niche adverts for the audience of politicians & civil servants.
There is no more reliable way to advertise to the 650 people who make the decisions around here. I’m fine with it as long as TfL is rinsing these weapons manufacturers.
British Aerospace is full BINO and its covered in flags, being honest about ownership is better in my book. Having a local subsidiary thats just a subsidiary is totally normal.
Mind yoy what they think theyre advertising is a question.
It’s Westminster station. A lot of MP’s take the Tube.
Nothing good ever seems to come from a company named after something in Lord of the Rings.
Did you know there is a war going on in Ukraine and we need to re arm?
They’ve got money like everyone else. Also Westminster always has weird obscure adverts because it’s where all the MPs and their staff go.
I’ll take a Brownells BRN180 with a AKB-23 bullpup kit.
Saw it on my way to work, its not uncommon since BAE systems also advertise there.
lately in UK !
For the last 6 months there’s been a real drive to get the public prepared for a more local conflict/war. I thought it had peaked when the British GP was at Silverstone and Sky did a segment about if you wanted to work in an F1 team join the RAF instead
Calling a company after LoTR is the second most idiotic thing. The first most idiotic is calling a company after a famous scientist.
This sort of advertising has always been around Westminster tube. There is a massive BAE Systems banner in the ticket hall.
Yes and why is it a problem
Ever been to Liverpool Street / Canary Wharf? They have hundreds of ads about private banking, crypto, finance, etc
I hate that it’s called Anduril. Tolkien would be turning in his grave if he knew an ARMS COMPANY was named after the Sword of Aragorn.
Here was me getting excited thinking we were talking about my favourite torch UI. 😭
One of the biggest industries we have, and we should be proud. Some people’s morals lack that reality check.
You get this abroad as well. The DC metro had adverts for Lockheed Martin at one point around the Pentagon area. And SAAB has a full brochure you can download.
You new to London?
They are kind of important. Why shouldn’t they advertise?
Doesn’t Westminster also have that big BAE ad over the escalators?
Must remember to grab my coffee and anti aircraft artillery on the way into the office
Anduril? Forged from the shards of Narsil, the sword of Elendil?
Was the design brief “Children of Men, but on Canva”
Unfortunately we are fighting totalitarianism in Europe again, so we need these, lots of these…
Ooh that’s too far close to my username, not happy!
For as long as Putin is invading the neighbours and stealing bits of their countries. Yes.
They might have their HQ in the US but a lot of these international defence companies are firewalled in different countries. BAE in America is completely hidden from the rest of the group
Money talks no matter what country you’re in. Subliminal messages, they’re preparing you for something.
Low key a nice, Swiss-style grid on that poster. Ironic cause it’s anything but neutral lol.
Well it’s effective. Having checked out the website I’m very interested in acquiring a Dive-LD, their reliable and flexible Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
Can’t wait for their IPO 💸
At least it’s not a play with a cake in it otherwise would be banned
Yeah, who else jumps off at Westminster. Same thing in Washington DC’s Metro station near the Pentagon and other Government buildings with Metro stations.
Hell, I remember when BAE Systems did a thing and a past advert that was picked up on in media for having the flag upside down (Something about the diagonal red lines or something indicated it).
And here I thought the Viet Cong dissolved years ago when they won the war
Anyone can purchase advertising for the right price. Probably cost a mint
I swear each day that goes past I think of Johnny silverhand more.
Dont worry, will soon be taken down. Its got a flag on it.
Union flag*
I saw these guys – the absolute least British company of all time pretending to be British so they can lobby the government and whitewash the huge amounts we’re paying them.
If you are willing to pay the money then anyone can advertise anything as long as it’s not illegal or obscene.
I’d say this is probably a good spot for them to get their brand in front of civil servants on their way to work. Some of whom will have influence on weapons contract decisions.
Why the fuck is their Scientology on the tube, that pisses me off big time.
Anduril, Palantir. I am going to establish Narsil.
