Who are the extremists ?

While Theresa May wants every nursery worker to look for toddlers in their charge who may display indications of extremism, in order to safeguard Britain from the threat of a few disturbed human beings, the Ministry of Defence goes on rolling its nuclear weapons through Glasgow, the most densely populated area of Scotland.

 

From the Scottish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament:

The Ministry of Defence have ignored warnings of wind, rain and snow and driven nuclear weapons across the country, through Glasgow and over the Erskine Bridge. The convoy of four nuclear bomb lorries plus a very large escort left the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Burghfield in Berkshire at 9 am on Sunday 11 January. It was probably transporting new nuclear weapons to Scotland. It was tracked across the country by Nukewatch. The convoy was filmed as it passed Birmingham on the M6 earlier in the day (youtube video). (Photo: @BrumNewsPhotos)

On the M74 at Hamilton it drove under an overhead sign which said "winter weather take care". It then went through the centre of Glasgow on the M74 and M8 between 11.35 and 11.55 pm. There were illuminated "high wind" warning signs on the approaches to Erskine Bridge, but the convoy ignored the safety notices and continued over the bridge, 45 metres above the Clyde.

John Ainslie, Coordinator of Scottish CND, followed the convoy. He said:

"The Ministry of Defence has shown a callous disregard for public safety by driving nuclear weapons through the centre of Glasgow and over Erskine Bridge while Scotland was being battered by gale force winds. It is time we abandoned Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) and stopped the madness of taking nuclear bombs through Scotland's largest city."
