Teachers arrested for demanding the end of nuclear bullying

1 Aug 2007: Six teachers and their three supporters were arrested this morning for blockading the South Gate of Faslane.

Chris Bluemel, a music teacher and one of those arrested said "It is estimated that a replacement for the Trident nuclear weapons system would cost £76bn over its lifetime. Yet the UN estimates that just £8bn would be enough to provide universal primary education. As a teacher, I strongly believe that the latter would be rather more likely to increase our security."
