Disruption at RNAD Coulport

In the week that the Defence Committee meets to demand that ministers start preparing immediately to replace Trident, disruption was caused during yesterdays early morning workshift entering RNAD Coulport.

Despite MoD officers being parked at the entrance to the gateway on the Kibble roundabout, Micah, and Roz managed to lock-on in front of the main gate, but Joe was grabbed by officers. Police directed workers traffic around one side of the pair in the road and after a while the two unlocked as they were told that the driver, who had been stopped by police, would definately be arrested and the vehicle impounded if they did not desist.

Upon unlocking it came as little suprise when the three were charged with a Breach of the Peace despite being told earlier that they would be free to go. However, the police then went on to charge the driver too, afterall, and objections were voiced to the Inspector in charge!

Along with the other officers present, the Inspector was passed a statement describing how Trident, Trident Replacement, and any new nuclear weapons system will encourage global instability and proliferation as well as further tie UK foreign policy to the US. The statement called for disarmament of Trident and to ditch any ideas of mini-nukes or other replacement WMD system.
