The Background
All of Britain's nuclear weapons are currently based at Faslane on board four Trident submarines. Together they have the destructive power of 1,500 Hiroshimas. The use of such weapons may seem unthinkable. However during the Iraq war Geoff Hoon said Trident could be used in attacks against 'rogue states.'
Meanwhile the maintenance of the weapons impoverishes the NHS, schools, universities and other vital services. It seems likely that the government has already decided (in secret as in the past) to build a new and even more dangerous nuclear weapons system at a cost of £20 billion.
Nuclear weapons pollute and degrade our spirit, our environment, our economy, our international relations and undermine all our efforts to create a fair and sustainable world. They affect us all.
The Campaign
Faslane 365 is an inspiring plan for a continuous peaceful blockade of the Trident base at Faslane, near Glasgow. We are invited to form groups that will maintain the blockade on a specific day from October 2006. Support, local publicity etc., will be as important as physical participation in the blockade. The main demands are that Trident is to be taken off patrol and a clear timetable for dismantling the UK's nuclear weapons is to be made plus a commitment not to develop new nuclear weapons.
The Meeting
The meeting on February 28th is a chance for groups and individuals from Yorkshire and Derbyshire to get involved. Angie Zelter will present the plan, there will be a video about a previous blockade at Faslane, discussion, and tea and biscuits.
Angie is an inspirational and internationally renowned peace campaigner, who has many years' experience of non-violent direct action.
Everyone is welcome!
