Anti Nuclear demonstrators at Faslane

Madness at Faslane again

They've lost the plot

These anti-nuclear demonstrators at Faslane submarine base would probably rather sell our country off by the pound rather than let us use the reasonable defence available to us. What did our grandparents fight for anyway?



Well you can call them what you like, tree huggers, soap dodgers or hippies but they all amount to the same thing and that is a bunch of crazy people who would quite happily leave our country defenceless!

23-1-2008Walk around all day banning the bomb, walking on water, 'do-gooders'. The world us full of them. I once knew a man that went over to Africa to help the starving. He helped them alright, they ate him for supper. It's very annoying that these blinkered deadbeats with a puny plan are ...moreEnglish And I Say What I Like
22-1-2008Twice in the last couple of months Faslane Peace Camp has been reported in the local newspaper for criminal activity. The first was a resident breaking into the bins at the Rosneath Co-op for out of date food, who upon being discovered hastely drove away ramming into a member of staffs car. The ch...moreJinty

13-8-2007Russia is hardening its attitude to the world in general and Europe in particular. In view of the geographic jostling for Arctic and Antarctic oil reserves, I think we would be foolish NOT to keep an ultimate deterent.After Middle East oil reserves run out, the next flashpoint for strife will be at ...moreGeneral
29-7-2007I have to re-iterate that I am anti-nuclear. I have been as long as I can remember and thats back to an MoD village in the 70's when it was highly unpopular. I have only ever voted anti-nuclear, never worked at the base . My standard of life has never been orientated by money, which is just a...moreJANET CASSIE - ROSNRATH
17-7-2007agree with what people on here are saying bloody tree huggers what would they say if we were attacked with nukes and we didnt have any would they start protesting to have nukes!!!!lolatomicboi
12-6-2007Could the "tree huggers" "great unwashed", whatever you want to call them, please explain why after years and years of protest, they have achieved.............well, absolutely nothing!Steve - Rosneath
08-5-2007I don't think my views are in the least contradictory. Has the peace campaign become something akin to a dictatorship where only the official approved views are acceptable. I do not think any cause warrants suffering and distress to vulnerable people. I think that the blockade is damaging and u...moreJanet - Rosneath
08-5-2007Thanks Janet - I have the best whinge!! No need to be so dramatic, I'd hardly call you a hostage. Anyway, I could provide a hundred political reasons towards the opposition of Trident (as my last comment wasn't political enough), however many of them have already been posted. I find your vie...moreFiona
18-4-2007P.S. Just had to add that Fiona's "poor little old us, no-one understands and you are all so bad to say say nasty things" whinge was the best I've heard yet. Really compelling political comment, I've change my mind we deserve to be held hostage. I am so ashamed I will immedia...moreJanet Cassie - Rosneath
16-4-2007This is always what our small local community is told " we have sympathy with the local but will not stop". Before I get the usual lecture about the bigger picture and told all about the evils of the nuclear policy let me explain something. Faslane base is the home of the Trident fleet, ...moreJanet Cassie - Rosneath
16-4-2007Interesting to read these comments, as some of us outside Scotland sometimes think there is massive opposition to Trident there (based on the majority of MSPs opposed to it). I've read that some protesters have said they're sorry that the disruption in the local area is necessary. But for ...moreCedders
