The risks of nuclear conflict have escalated due to nuclear re-armament and the war in Ukraine at the very same time as the world community meets to discuss the implementation of the UN Ban Treaty.
Trident Ploughshares and XR Peace will be camping at Peaton Wood near Coulport to peacefully confront the UK’s ongoing addiction to the possession and deployment of horrific and illegal weapons of mass destruction. We will be building on the strong popular and political opposition in Scotland to having such a launch pad for mass murder on their land and in their waters. The following are some dates you may wish to put in your press diaries. For further information please contact fabb@gn.apc.org or ring Angie on 07454-573135
