The three day Big Blockade (Block and Roll!) of Faslane Trident nuclear submarine base has begun early today , all 4 main gates are blocked and there have been about 30 arrests so far.

Scottish Socialist MSP Tommy Sheridan and Scottish National Party MSP Lloyd Quinan have been removed from the blockade already, dunno if they got arrested but assume so.

Last October Sheridan along with Caroline Lucas MEP were among almost 400 people arrested for blockading the base in what was Scotland's largest anti-nuke demo since the 60's
