> We need to show that there is mas­sive oppo­si­tion to any new nuclear

> on 11 Decem­ber. Peo­ple from as far away as York­shire and Mersey­side are
> already indi­cat­ing their inten­tion to come to the Berk­shire bomb fac­to­ry.
>
> While there will be a three month peri­od for “debate” after the
> pub­li­ca­tion of the White Paper, Tony Blair has also made it clear that, in
> the end, MPs will only get to vote on the gov­ern­men­t’s pre­ferred option.
> Mean­while build­ing work at Alder­mas­ton con­tin­ues apace, mak­ing a mock­ery
> of the sup­posed “debate” as mil­lions are being invest­ed in new facil­i­ties.
> Right now, work on the Ori­on laser site — a key facil­i­ty for the future of
> Britain’s WMD project — is well under­way.
>
> On Mon­day 27 Novem­ber 400 peo­ple descend­ed on AWE Alder­mas­ton to car­ry out
> a cit­i­zen’s weapons inspec­tion organ­ised by Green­peace and Block the
> Builders (see http://moblog.co.uk/blogs.php?show=9068 for pix). Let’s
> build for a mas­sive block­ade on 11 Decem­ber!
>
> If you care about Britain throw­ing bil­lions at its weapons of mass
> destruc­tion while peo­ple die on hos­pi­tal trol­leys, if you care about a
> lack of resources for tack­ling cli­mate change, if you care about the mon­ey
> being spent on keep­ing troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, now is the time to
> get off your bum and come and show your oppo­si­tion to how your mon­ey is
> being spent and Britain’s sta­tus as a WMD pro­lif­er­a­tor.
> What do we want? Geno­ci­dal weapons of mass destruc­tion or real secu­ri­ty?
>
> This may well be an arrestable action, but we also need sup­port­ers.
> If we fail to act now, there will be anoth­er 20+ years of Britain as WMD
> state.
