Video: Tyneside & Northumberland knitters’ pink scarf at Angel of the North

A growing group of knitters from Tyneside and Northumberland has joined the Wool Against Weapons project, to knit a section of a 7 mile pink scarf. The scarf will be stretched between the two Atomic Weapons Establishment sites in Berkshire on 9th August 2014, in an anti-nuclear protest being described as the world’s biggest ever yarn bomb. Tyneside’s contribution is already well advanced, with 20-30 metres of scarf knitted or on the needles. The Tyneside pink scarf was taken to the Angel of the North on Sunday 4th May, when it was unfurled beneath the Angel’s 54 metre wing span at noon.

“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

John Hurt

".....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
