Croughton, Menwith Hill, Lakenheath - action against US Missile Defence
menwith_3-small.jpgMay is a month of action against the US missile defence system. US plans to put new bases in central Europe, and NATO's recent backing for this provocative step, are making a new nuclear arms race more likely.

After the successful march and rally on Saturday 3rd at RAF Croughton - a US communications base involved in the MD system, located near Oxford, two further protests are planned:

Saturday May 17th: Breaking the Links protest - 1 to 4pm at Menwith Hill, near Harrogate - the largest spy base in the world and part of the MD system. See here for full details.

Sunday May 18th: Three Strikes and You're Out protest - 1pm at RAF Lakenheath - home to 110 US nuclear bombs, and possible home to MD interceptor missiles. See here for full details.
 
The bomb stops here: Surround the base at Aldermaston
Aldermaston demo posterEaster Monday saw a lively demonstration against the development of nuclear weapons at the heart of Britain's nuclear weapons programme - the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston. Five thousand joined the protest which, on the anniversary of the arrival of the first Aldermaston march, celebrated 50 years of anti-nuclear protest in Britain. For full details visit our 'Bomb stops here' campaign site.
