Say No to Star Wars in North Yorkshire

RORS | 25.09.2004 19:02 | Sheffield

People from Sheffield joined a large gathering, organised by Yorkshire CND, at RAF Fylingdales in North Yorkshire today. The event was part of Keep Space for Peace Week when demonstrations are being held around the world to say NO to Star Wars and NO to space weapons.

Speakers included Thom Yorke of Radiohead and Dave Knight of Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space.

The demonstration moved to the entrance of the base and then took advantage of a newly discovered right of way to enter the property and walk right up to the Radar. There a communication was read out from Alaska, where people were mounting a similar protest today at the Star Wars installation there.

Other events in Keep Space for Peace Week include:

Saturday 2 October 2004

2004 - SPACE ODDITY Demonstration at Menwith Hill US base

and

Rally and demonstration at Croughton RAF/USAF base, near Oxford.

it was a real fun protest and the talks were realy interesting. my only problem was the way the police filmed everyone as the got off the coach/cars/ect. it was verey unesicery. but on the oter hand the police didnt find the need to box us in like at the menwith indipendence from america day.

The idea of waisting a load of petrol to go and take one kinda defeats the point...
