Protesters have managed to close the Faslane naval base in Scotland by surprising the police with a combination of superglue and paint.

Just as people managed to lock on, the police are already there.

On 2nd July, 12 York residents were arrested for peaceful blockading of the Faslane nuclear base in Scotland. The action was part of the 'Students Summer Blockade and Strident Tent State' – a week of creative action against the recent decision to spend billions renewing Britain's nuclear weapons. The group included students from York College, York University, York St Johns, and Fulford School, as well as people working locally. This is the second time this group has taken part in Faslane 365, the year long blockade of the trident nuclear missile base.

York Branch, Palestine Solidarity Camapign and the Green Party worked together to ensure a warm welcome for a dozen hardy activists who are pedalling from Faslane to London, via the big cities and strategic sites such as Menwith Hill and Lakenheath, demanding justice for one victim of Israeli vindictiveness.

Take some time to consider the problem: As long as you like :)
