Scotland nae place for nuclear weapons.

Following on from NO TO NATO, or NAW TAE NATO or even NO NO NA-NATO, here's a short film called 'Deadly Cargo', from Glasgow based Camcorder Guerillas, that I had the privilege of watching last night. 

The events you're about to witness happen on a regular basis. Scotland appears to be helpless to stop this madness, we've become servile puppets that just bend over and keep taking it from Westminster.

In June 2007 our Parliament overwhelmingly voted in favour of a resolution politely asking the UK Government to please, please, pretty please reconsider its decision to go ahead with the Trident replacement. We wuz ignored. At the time, amendments had to be made to in case the Liberal Democrats had a bout of the vapours and collapsed at the thought of anything robust as, 'd'ye mind shiftin thon bombs pal?' Protecting the Lib Dem's modesty is not a consideration any longer, in the words of Croesus to Alcmaeon, son of Megacles, our message to Westminster is simple, "You've filled your pockets, now off you fuck." or something similar.

In May 2010, the Scottish Government could not even attain observer status at the UN's Review Conference on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Despite having weapons of mass destruction thirty-five miles from the city centre of our most populated city. Naturally ambassadors from such great states like mighty Lichtenstein and the Roman Holy See were allowed to speak, nary a tweet from Scotland.   

Now is the time for the Scottish Government and the Labour Party in Scotland and Westminster to put aside the question of Independence and work together to create a far more robust resolution, that demands the removal of all nuclear weapons from Coulport and Faslane. This is an imperative for Scotland, whether we are Independent or not.

Watch the video, and if you still think the SNP should be part of a big nuclear gang like NATO. Seek help.
