It makes a change from windmills…..
About 40 academics from several countries gathered outside the north gate of Faslane Base on the Clyde to hold a conference on Trident and to blockade the base. Surrounded by the magnificent scenery of lochs and mountains, our makeshift conference hall was a barricaded corner of pavement with a few rocks to sit on and a small ‘audience’ of police guarding the gate.
