Faslane peace camp protest in Scotland 24 January 2017
In other Protest news .. Well done Faslane Peace Camp!
We don’t want a real missile to land anywhere but if they can’t even be sure which way it will go it makes nonsense of the whole business. And if it didn’t matter the Government wouldn’t have been so keen to keep it quiet! Thank you for speaking out!
