UPDATE: 10 arrests, all under SOCPA legislation. All released late last night, most with bail conditions banishing them from Debyshire. One vehicle (which is used by its owner for his livelihood) had been impounded. The 10 have been bailed to return to Derby police HQ on the 6th and 8th May

For five and a half hours, Trident Ploughshares blockaded the Derby Rolls Royce Raynesway site which houses a nuclear reactor which is used to assemble the reactor core for Trident submarines.

Workers were offered leaflets exploring the concept of illegal weapons of mass destruction and war crimes. Workers in their turn offered helpful personal advice to the blockaders.

Strong media coverage on local TV, radio (full spectrum domination through the morning) and the main evening paper.

After the success of Faslane 365 and the strident oppostion in Scotland, some Trident Ploughshares affinity groups are focusing on one of the UK's most famous brands - a brand which is profiting from weapons which are illegal in international law. And an inland site which houses a rickety old Vulcan (corroding parts-r-us) reactor.

There are plans to hold monthly protests and to escalate the campaign. It might not be long before we see a Rolls Royce 365.

Thanks for the bacon butties and choclate, Pete - yes, the veggies appreciated the thought but just scoffed all the chocs.

And oh what lovely lock-ons: the main gate blocked for over 5 hours.
