No new nuclear weapons

I don’t know if your remember our Trident Tour last year - that five week frenzy of Faslane blockading, crane climbing, arrests, solitary confinement, losing a ship, getting it back again, bearing witness, gigs, press conferences, political events and rallies.

Well, it’s been a long time coming but, over a year after the event, I can give you the final results of the legal wranglings that ensued.

Faslane 365 - the big blockade

Posted by Paula - 2 October 2007 at 8:39am - 0 Comments

Protest at the North Gate, Faslane Naval Base, October 2 2007

Faslane 365 is a one year continuous peaceful blockade of the Trident base at Faslane from 1st October 2006, ending with a Big Blockade on 1st October 2007.

So where to start? At the very beginning...a very good place to start. Or the end? Having just sung "So long Farewell" as we processed out of the final Faslane 365 circle, the Sound of Music is still ringing in my ears.

3.30pm: 100 or so people, encircled by the police, in the space in front of North gate, had been given permission to have a closing ceremony. We were invited to join hands and take a minute to look at each other and acknowledge our presence, diversity and strength.
