DOZENS of protesters took part in an anti-nuclear event against ongoing activities at AWE Aldermaston and Burghfield last Saturday.

About 50 people queued at Reading Police Station to report their concerns that AWE “is engaged in manufacturing and transporting weapons of mass destruction and facilitating preparations to use nuclear weapons.”

“Spending £100 billion on replacing Trident is a catastrophic folly. I’m sure I am one of many who support the those, like Action-AWE, who campaign actively and imaginatively against it”

– Ken Loach

".....the government has pledged to rebuild a new generation of British nuclear weapons at enormous cost and at a time when social services budgets including those for health and education are being drastically cut. Having nuclear weapons doesn't make us safer, it just brings the possibility of nuclear conflict ever closer. We need to protect this planet not put it at even more risk of destruction. We all have a voice so please use yours and join me in supporting ACTION AWE." John Hurt
