MOD Half-truths to Workers about Trident Ploughshares
|
As they prepare for their seven day disarmament camp at AWE Aldermaston,
Trident Ploughshares (TP) activists have been studying a leaflet which is
being handed out by the Ministry of Defence to workers at the site.
The leaflet tells the workers that TP will be there from 18th to 25th May.
It goes on to say:
"Unfortunately there are no formal organisers for this protest and it has
been difficult to establish exactly what their intentions will be over this
period." The leaflet assures the workers that the MOD and Thames Valley
Police will work together to ensure the events are "peaceful and cause as
little disruption as possible".
A TP spokesperson said:
"We are giving them five out of ten for accuracy, which is not bad for the
MOD. Clearly both the MOD and Thames Valley Police now understand that we
are a campaign made up of autonomous affinity groups and individuals who
have pledged to prevent nuclear crime in a peaceful, nonviolent, safe and
accountable way. As to our intentions, these have been openly available on
our website for almost two years now. They know we intend to cause as much
disruption as we can to the operation of this site. Moreover they have not
told their workers that AWE is engaged in criminal activity. Just listen to
these guardians of an establishment committed to preparations for mass
murder talking about keeping things peaceful!"
