Otherwise many small actions are happening here, again and again a piece of fence is damaged or improved by slogans. The police is always getting very exited if activists approach the military bases and is therefore kept active.
Yesterday evening we had a big party, because Ulla Roder is free again.

Peace Activists Blockade Faslane Nuclear Base
This morning at 7 am, peace activists blockaded the main gate of Faslane nuclear weapons base, near Glasgow.
Their action is part of the Trident Ploughshares International Disarmament Camp. The activists are currently locked together on the road using lock-on pipes. A spokesperson for Trident Ploughshares, Martin Roche explained, “The aim of the blockade is to prevent staff from working inside the base. This is because the use, and preparations to use, the Trident nuclear warheads stored at the base is illegal under international humanitarian law, as well as being completely immoral.”
To date there have been 21 arrests at the two-week camp.
Last night eight protestors entered the Oil Fuel Depot at Faslane and occupied it for twelve hours. Morag sat in a tree inside the depot until nearly 8am while an MoD dog handler waited for her to climb down. People from the nearby Faslane Peace Camp stayed with her providing support.
Two protestors sat atop a MoD building for over fours hours holding a decorated banner between them reading "Ban the Bomb". Petter, one of those holding the banner said, "We've found lots of nukes, and they need disarming now!". Others inside the Oil Fuel Depot spray-painted buildings with peace symbols and words.
