TP2000 Coulport Camp

Two anti-nuclear activists from the North-East were snaffled recently by MOD police at Coulport on the west coast of Scotland. Coulport is the site of the missile bunkers for Trident nuclear warheads.

The activists were there as part of a Trident Ploughshares camp (27th July - 11th Aug) during which, it is rumoured, a campaigner successfully swam to a nuclear submarine and managed to paint the “I” of “Illegal” on the side before being nabbed. Various court cases are forthcoming and donations towards legal costs are appreciated (write to Northumbria TP2000, PO BOX 1TA, Newcastle NE99 1TA).

A large-scale blockade of the Faslane submarine base is planned in October.
