60 Faces: Alistair Mackie

When asked how successful he thinks CND has been, Alastair said in an interview with the Imperial War Museum, ‘Within the limits of what human institutions can do, they do pretty well. My first love as it were is CND, and I believe that the spontaneity and the honesty and the genuineness of CND is quite marvellous. And it is a great privilege and a pleasure for me to do what I can for CND.’

Alastair has publicly questioned the government’s nuclear weapons policy since retiring, calling it ‘idiotic, corrupt and unjustifiable on any grounds’.

CND’s greatest strength has always been its members.
Incredible people have shaped our history,
our present and will continue to inspire in the future.
