Visit Faslane Peace Camp - song and peaceful protest!
The
Trident nuclear weapons system is based at Faslane on the Clyde.
This
June sees the 31st anniversary of the Faslane Peace Camp.

in touch if you want to come!

There will be some spaces on the mini-bus from Glasgow - and we will be picking up from Helensborough Train station from around 10.30am onwards. We are hoping that the cabaret starts at 12 noon and a short, peaceful demo at the North Gate at around 2.30pm.

Citizen Smart, Rosie Kane, Marie Collins, Pauline Bradley (samples of Pauline's singing here) and others!

Citizen Smart - The Bedroom Tax Song
Trident is the UK nuclear weapons system
There are 4 nuclear submarines
Each sub has 8 missiles
Each missile can have 5 nuclear warheads (bombs)
Each bomb is 8 times as destructive as the Hiroshima bomb
In 1945, at Hiroshima, more than 140,000 civilians were
killed
Nuclear weapons are immoral
Over the next 30 years, the UK Government wants to spend
around £100 billion on a new Trident system
An independent Scotland would be nuclear free!
