Faslane 365

[Tom B]

Faslane 365 is a one year continuous peaceful blockade of the Trident base at Faslane from 1st October 2006 to 30th September 2007.

Faslane 365 is asking a wide range of local, national and even international groups from all sections of civil society to come to Faslane with at least 100 people committed to stay and make their visions for a just and peaceful future visible for at least two days.

What's the worst that could happen?

[ionnsaigh]

Here it lies here it stays
Dark the monster in our bays
You have no opinion- alas no say
Trident here and here to stay
Oh how you practice what you preach
Middle class manners dampen your goal
Attack the base with all your might
Set the pace join the fight
No leaders there to show the way
Trident here and here to stay
All very peaceful playing the game
That grand old duke of york
If it's peace you want then you have to fight
Attack the base with all your might
Two prongs of attack are better than one
Helensburgh there- there to be won
Who makes the cash on our dear shores
To have a mass murderer in your closet
Makes sense to the banks a healthy deposit
If your going to do it- then do it right
Attack the base with all your might
Ask us the working class to join you in your fight
Then they will feel -see our might
They depend on you playing the game
Middle class manners get in the road
You do no good sitting in the road
Go on ask me now to join the fight
Let's see who's wrong who's right.

Irritating you is it? That's a shame....

Irritating now there's a thing
Have a scratch remove the thing
See the scab on top the spot
Leave it alone let it rot

Compassion removed tae set aside
Acting as if a thorn in your side
Heid under cover as well the ass
Leave the fly let it pass

[jester and the fool]

The worst that could happen?- paying for the subs,which i get to see regularly,and then paying for the police presence at the protest site.Depending where you read it it aint cheap!!!!! Nuke it? Dunno.But then we would get a warm and dry for a spell for a wee bit.That would be nice wouldnt it.

Now there's a novel idea. Set up a peace camp outside Faslane. That's sure to work. After all it's never been done bef.......Wait a minute hasn't there been a protest camp there for 30 years

Great for publicity.

Pointless in every other respect.

Hate to say it but the dejavu is kicking in. Seen it all before. The general are apathetic about this kind of thing, especially when they see long hair and beards doing the protesting. Hope this is different. The public have been given this message for years and didn't care. Why are they going to care now. The nuclear program has always cost the country huge amounts of money, and very little support was given to the protest, and if was given, it didn't make any difference.

Galgael trust, smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors

If you feel inclined, here’s an online petition against the renewal of trident. These weapons are nothing more than elitist status symbols.

Couldn't agree more John. They serve no purpose. Who exactly would they fire them at?
