Remembrance Day 11th November 2006

The “arrest and detain for 30 hours without charge” policy amounts to an abuse of process designed to silence legitimate protest against upgrading genocidal Trident nuclear missiles. I choose to come here to the High Court in Edinburgh to place on public display the terms “No Upgrading Trident”, “Honour the Living”, “No More War Crimes for Bush and Blair” and “All US Bases Out of the UK”.

£76 billion would be better spent caring for those who have been injured by war rather than wearing a Red Poppy for a few days a year, which raises apparently £13 million. To respect our dead we have to get our priorities right at the beginning of this 21st Century. The current conspiracy by the police to disregard so many peace protesters civil liberties and human rights makes a mockery of all they died for.

No More War Crimes.
