UK WMD stopped in its tracks
|
Activists from Trident Ploughshares and Faslane Peace Camp stopped a nuclear convoy for almost three hours on Monday 18th. 3 of the 6 protesters also blocked the main entrance to RNAD Coulport, home to the UK’s nuclear bombs, closing the entire base for a short while.
The protesters were highlighting the fact that whilst the focus is on Iraqi WMD, people and the press seem to be forgetting the 200 nuclear war heads that the British government illegally and immorally possesses, some of which are illegally carried around the UK on public roads with no warning signs and with no permission from the residents of the settlements through which the convoy passes.
The nuclear convoy was sighted leaving the base just twenty minutes after the protesters who were locked on were removed. It is believed that the convoy was making its way to Aldermaston bomb factory in the south of the UK.
