AWE protesters stage Remembrance Sunday vigil

2730146By Helen Morton

A REMEMBRANCE vigil was held outside the gates of the AWE Aldermaston site last Sunday by a group of protestors.

Women from the Aldermaston Women’s Peace Camp, AWPC and Women in Black Against War, held the silent vigil outside the main gates of the factory at 11am for 15 minutes.

Hazel Makepeace, of AWPC, said: “Our 15-minute silent vigil outside AWE is an annual event to remember all those lost, bereft, disabled and displaced by war, whether combatants or non-combatants.”

This year’s event was followed by a group discussion about countering the glorification of war while respecting the loss of those affected by conflict.

“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”

".....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
