Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1The Make Trident History group which includes Nobel Peace Laureate, Mairead Corrigan Maguire are holding a send- off rally on Friday, 8th December 3.30pm- 4.15pm outside the main gates of Belfast City Hall just prior to travelling to Scotland to peacefully blockade the nuclear submarine base at Faslane near Glasgow, 8-10 December. The group are aware that they risk arrest. To date over 330 people have been arrested.
Mairead Corrigan Maguire said 'The UK government could give moral and political leadership to the world by abolishing its nuclear weapons of mass destruction and closing the door to nuclear proliferation'.
Come along and give them a good send- off. Show your support and solidarity with the group’s aim for the disarmament and total elimination of all nuclear weapons.
The group wish to highlight the following concerns
1) Tony Blair’s decision to replace the current Trident weapon system at a cost of £20-£60 billion is a waste of resources and tax-payers money. This money could better be spent on health, education, energy supplies, environment and world poverty.
2) Britain and USA are going contrary to their signing of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) by deciding to develop an updated and yet more lethal Trident nuclear weapons’ system. This sets a bad example and encourages other countries to join in the nuclear weapons’ League of Nations. It increases the risk of a nuclear war which would be disastrous to all life on this planet.
3) The close proximity of this nuclear weapon base constitutes a grave safety risk to the people of N. Ireland
4) The bullish behaviour of the UK Government encourages anti-social violent behaviour. It is sending out a message that the way to resolve international conflict and confrontation is to show that you are strong, and possess a powerful nuclear weapon. This bullying attitude justifies and vindicates the anti-social behaviour we are sadly experiencing in our local communities.
