Anti-war protesters call for wave of civil disobedience

By Peter John Meiklem

ANTI-WAR campaigners will be urged this weekend to target Scottish
military bases with a new wave of “civil disobedience” protests that
could see fences cut, runways invaded and aeroplanes vandalised.

Leading figures in the Scottish anti-war movement will call for more
“proactive” tactics at a meeting in Glasgow over the weekend.

Activists believe an increase in “direct action” such as blocking
roads and breaking into bases will discourage politicians from
supporting future military campaigns.

The protesters hope a “widening” of tactics will high-light the
“crucial” role that Scots bases played in the invasion and occupation
of Iraq.

Possible targets include Britain’s strategic nuclear submarine base at
Faslane, the airbase at Lossiemouth – home to the UK’s largest Tornado
fleet – and the defence munitions depot at Beith, in Ayrshire.

1. May I please be the first to say thank you to the rest of this world for

leading the way. Someday, just maybe someday, the US will wake up and be what we purport ourselves to be in the world. It is a hope I can't let go of.
