Join the movement: hundreds protest return of US nukes to Britain

 Last Saturday, hundreds of CND supporters gathered at Lakenheath airbase in Suffolk for a lively and colourful protest against the return of US nuclear weapons to Britain.

Other speakers included CND Chair Tom Unterrainer, Scottish CND Chair Lynne Jamieson, Mayer Wakefield of Stop the War Coalition, Joy Croft from Norwich CND, and Norwich Councillor Gary Champion, while a statement was read out on behalf of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War. All speakers made clear that this is part of an ongoing campaign that will only get bigger – saying no to US nuclear weapons coming to Britain!

In addition to speeches, there were art and plane spotting workshops, music from samba band XR Rhythms, and a performance piece by playwright Michael Mears. A strong visual presence was maintained outside the base all afternoon making CND’s message clear!  

CND is committed to ridding Britain of nuclear weapons – be they our own nuclear-armed submarines in Scotland or US bombs deployed to Lakenheath. Become a CND member today and help us work towards a nuclear weapons-free world.
