Aldermaston Big Blockade – Monday, October 27 2008

In 2006/7, Faslane 365 saw well over 1000 arrests during a year-long blockade of the Trident submarine base in Scotland . Last Easter, AWE Aldermaston saw its biggest demonstration in two decades as 5000 people surrounded the base to mark the 50^th

Anarchic political street theatre group who use street theatre to get our message across to the everyday shoppers. We also use props and gimmicks for direct action; actions include a 20 ft Trident submarine to blockade Downing Street and Scottish Parliament. We are far from actors but we are activists so our street theatre is all a bit chaotic!

27th October

Trident Ploughshares is a campaign to disarm the UK Trident nuclear weapons system in a non-violent, open, peaceful and fully accountable manner.

Established in 1985, the camp remains a symbol of resistance to nuclear madness - and British-manufactured weapons of mass destruction in particular.AWPC continues to campaign against new developments at Aldermaston, which we - and others - consider will allow the UK government to build a new generation of nuclear weapons - a replacement for the current submarine-based Trident system.
