Congrats Bush & Brown: you've restarted the Cold War

29-09-2008 12:27

With the USA signing deals left, right and centre with the UK, Czech Republic and Poland to site elements of its "Nuclear Missile Defence Shield" - or Son of Star Wars programme - in those respective countries; with the British parliament voting last year to replace its submarine-based Trident nuclear weapons system; and with recent US and NATO support for Georgia and the Ukraine, it should come as little surprise that Russia has announced plans to upgrade its own nuclear weapons systems, putting even more strain on the now beleaguered Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Hence, Bush, Cheney, Brown, Blair et al have managed to restart the Cold War. Well done, gentlemen.

Russia is already comparing these plans to the Cuban Missile Crisis...

Campaigner jailed for trespass at US radar base

Lindis Percy, the veteran campaigner against US bases in Britain, was yesterday sentenced to one month in jail. Christine Dean, a fellow member of the Campaign for the Accountability of American Bases, said Percy was sentenced at Scarborough magistrates court after being found guilty of aggravated trespass at the Fylingdales early warning radar station in North Yorkshire. The station was recently upgraded and will be part of America's missile defence system. Percy, convicted under the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act, has been jailed before for her protests.
