Faslane 365: Join the Big Blockade 01-10-2007 07:00A year of continuous, peaceful disruption (with almost 1000 arrests and occasional complete shut-down!) of Faslane nuclear submarine base is coming to an end on 1st October 2007! We will celebrate this by resisting some more and do a very large BIG BLOCKADE of Faslane starting 7am, all of us, together!
There will be music and the Jeely Peace Café will provide their lovely snacks and hot drinks using recipes developed especially to keep the blockade energised!
Book that coach ticket now and put your body where your heart is and your bum in front of the gates of Faslane: blockade Trident!
Loads of groups who have already done blockades of their own will return. New people who haven't yet been to Faslane will join. This is a perfect opportunity to meet activists from throughout the country and beyond, exchange ideas, share stories and plot for the future! Come be part of bringing about change.
Bring your banners, music, lock-ons, waterproofs, folding chairs, knitting, paints, tents, picnics, songs, bolt cutters, poems, flags etc and stay as long as you like or can or want!
Scotland has elected a Government with an anti-Trident commitment. And the new Scottish Parliament has already passed a resolution calling upon Westminster not to replace Trident.
This is a unique opportunity for the people of a nuclear weapons state to lead the way in international nuclear disarmament. We need now more than ever to keep up the people pressure.
Let the Scottish Parliament know that people will not rest until Trident is dismantled. Tell the UK Government that we demand nuclear disarmament now. Be part of it. Blockade Faslane on 1st October!
Accommodation and ad hoc affinity group action planning/training opportunities will be available in Glasgow venues on Sunday 30 September. Coaches leaving Edinburgh 4:30am and Glasgow 5:30am on Monday 1st October. PLEASE BOOK NOW to ensure a space - 0845 4588 365.

Faslane Celebration for Peace 24-06-2007 00:00On Midsummer Day the Shambolic Warriors (a group of people from around the Glasgow Buddhist Centre) are staging a Celebration for Peace at HM Naval Base, Faslane. We’re going to gather for a day of midsummer magic, inviting all the forces for peace in the universe to appear around the place on the west coast of Scotland where Britain’s Trident nuclear weapons system is based. Events will include: a walk from Helensburgh to Faslane (about 8 miles); picnic lunch at Faslane; Sitting in Peace (a meditation outside the gates of the naval base) - and whatever magic, music, ceremonies and other celebrations emerge. There may be an option to camp wild (fending for yourself - minimum facilities) in a nearby wood.

Motion for debate:
S2M-3866 Chris Ballance (South of Scotland) (Green) : Replacement of Trident— That the Parliament believes that the United Kingdom should not seek to replace the Trident nuclear missile system; notes that in 2005 the UK Government reaffirmed its commitment to all its obligations under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty 1967 (NPT), including its legally binding obligation to negotiate nuclear disarmament in good faith; agrees with the legal opinion of Rabinder Singh QC and Professor Christine Chinkin of Matrix Chambers on 19 December 2005 that any replacement of the Trident system would constitute a material breach of Article VI of the NPT, and calls on the Scottish Executive to seek an early assurance from the UK Government that it will fully comply with our legal obligations in respect of the NPT and that it will not seek to replace the Trident nuclear missile system with another weapon system of mass destruction.
Supported by: Shiona Baird, Rob Gibson, Robin Harper, Patrick Harvie, Richard Lochhead, Campbell Martin, Mr Stewart Maxwell, Alex Neil, Mike Pringle, Eleanor Scott, Tommy Sheridan, Ms Sandra White, Ms Rosemary Byrne, Colin Fox, Margo MacDonald, Frances Curran, Rosie Kane, Carolyn Leckie, Kenny MacAskill, Mr Adam Ingram, Mr Mark Ruskell, Mark Ballard, Dennis Canavan, Donald Gorrie, John Swinburne, Linda Fabiani, Mr Brian Adam, Roseanna Cunningham, Mr Bruce McFee, Bruce Crawford, Tricia Marwick, Fiona Hyslop, Bill Butler, Marlyn Glen more...

Picket at US Consulate - Edinburgh 11-02-2006 11:00The five Cubans framed up by the U.S. government on ‘conspiracy’ charges in June 2001 are still fighting for justice. In November last year, a federal appeals court threw out an earlier ruling by its three-judge panel that had overturned the convictions of the five. The new hearing starts on Monday, 13th February.
What was the ‘crime’ committed by Rene Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labatino, Antonio Guerrero, and Fernando Gonzalez? They were gathering information on ultra-rightist groups that, operating on U.S. territory with Washington’s knowledge and complicity, have a history of violent attacks against Cuba.
The five are Cuban patriots who have risked their lives to defend their country’s revolution – which for more than four decades has been under attack by Washington because of its example for working people and supporters of freedom world wide freedom world wide.

No Trident Replacement - Westminster Parliament 06-12-2005 18:306.30 – 8.30pm,Committee Room 10,House of Commons.
The meeting will be addressed by former Cabinet Ministers Clare Short MP and Michael Meacher MP along side Gordon Prentice MP, Katy Clark MP, Jim Devine MP (MP for Robin Cook’s former Constituency), Alan Simpson MP, Baroness Jenny Tonge (Liberal Democrat Peer), Elfyn Llwyd MP (Plaid Cymru), Angus Robertson MP (SNP), There will also be speakers from Trade Unions: Keith Sonnet, UNISON, Barry Camfield, TGWU, John McGhee, FBU, and London Assembly Member Jenny Jones. They will be joined by CND’s Chair, Kate Hudson, Vice-Chair Jeremy Corbyn MP, and Vice-President Bruce Kent.
Speakers will demand that a full public and parliamentary debate takes place on the replacement of the Trident nuclear weapons system, and that the option of not replacing Trident must be on the table. They will argue, amongst other things, that a replacement will undermine the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty at a time when the latest US doctrine foresees the use of nuclear weapons once again. The cost of replacement will also be raised. It is estimated that a replacement will cost the British taxpayer an estimated £25 billion. MPs will raise the demand for a Green Paper on the replacement issue.
Kate Hudson, Chair of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, said:-
“A full debate and vote must be taken on the issue of Trident replacement. The government must not be allowed to take this decision behind closed doors. Far from deterring nuclear threats, replacing Trident will increase the risk of nuclear conflict. The British government should take this opportunity to press for nuclear disarmament worldwide, as required under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and become a force for peace in the world”

A Letter to the Prime Minister follows activist Jo Wilding on her remarkable journey of the last few years, with the people of Iraq. Narrated as a letter to Tony Blair, Julia Guest’s documentary serves as witness to the destruction of the lives of ordinary people during the bombing campaign and subsequent neglect by Occupation forces and authorities. Exclusive footage from the besieged city of Fallujah creates a moving picture of the terrible impact UK & US foreign policy has had on ordinary Iraqi people, while the film itself stands as a powerful act of remembrance and questions an unjust and damaging Occupation
