Faslane - The Battle Continues

The fourteen year old resistance centre Faslane Peace Camp was set to close just two months ago but instead there has since been an massive increase of activity.

On Tuesday 10th September another batch of Trident nuclear warheads arrived in its evil convoy of military vehicles. The convoy was stopped three times at Balloch near Loch Lomond and despite the police being out in force the stoppage lasted for one hour. Two people managed to d-lock themselves onto lorries carrying warheads. Thirteen people were arrested, mainly on breach of the peace charges. Local support for the action was very encouraging and hopefully these people will be up for a bit of action on future convoys passing through their town.

As well as this Faslane Peace Camp are inviting you to the ‘Burn The Base’ Bonfire Action, between Saturday 2nd and Tuesday 5th November. During the weekend there will be workshops on issues such as Trident, the convoy and NVDA and the law. There will be tours of military land, actions, a torch lit procession and a party to celebrate the efforts of Guy Fawkes. This promises to be an eventful few days and they would appreciate as much active support as possible. If you have any fire torches and other fire equipment take them along with you, as well as the usual tent, sleeping bag and a sense of humour -you need it in a world governed by megalomaniacs who seem hell bent on destroying the Earth.
