The Reporting of Crime at Reading police station went really well despite the cold and frequent rain and hail showers which however were interspersed with sunny interludes. Loads of banners were displayed and choirs from London and Cardiff kept our spirits up with peace and justice songs. Starting at 12 noon over 60 people, from Reading, Bedford, Bristol, Oxford, London and further afield, lined up and reported their crimes. The whole process took so long…
“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”
