Women Stop Nukes

On Sept 23rd feminist avengers took action against the war machine (manifest in the convoy that regularly transports nuclear warheads from Burghfield, Berkshire to Coulport Base, West Scotland). Dressed in pink and silver, and penned in by the police, the women stood by the road as the convoy went past. The police left. then, to their surprise, the women saw the last convoy truck pass with only a motorcycle escort. They blocked the road, stopped the truck and climbed on top of it, remaining there for an hour claiming “We celebrate all life and weep for all death, we take direct action to show we are not consenting with the war ways of those who conspire globally to exercise control through fear. We will not cease till war is no more.”
