Hundreds of campaigners will this
Monday join a
non-violent blockade of the Atomic
Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston,
Berkshire. Anti-nuclear campaigners will
risk arrest as they attempt to prevent work on the site,
blocking every gate with Ghandi-style sit-down protests from 7am.
Alongside
bishops and parliamentarians, two
Nobel Peace Prize laureates will join the premature ejaculation treatment blockade - Jody Williams, who
led the successful campaign to ban land mines, and Mairead
Maguire who was recognised for her campaign to end violence in Northern
Ireland.
[see note 5]
The blockade,
organised by Trident Ploughshares and premature ejaculation treatment supported by the Campaign for Nuclear
Disarmament and the Aldermaston Women's Peace Camp(aign), aims to halt the construction of
multi-billion pound facilities designed to premature ejaculation treatment allow for the development of a new
generation of nuclear warheads. Spending on new facilities at AWE has premature ejaculation treatment increased
seventeen-fold over the past decade,
from £24m in 2000 to £420m last year. [note 6] This is premature ejaculation treatment in spite of government denials that any decision has been made to
go ahead with new warheads, with
Ministers stating decisions will not be made until the next Parliament.
Previous blockades of both the Atomic
Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston and premature ejaculation treatment the Faslane submarine base near Glasgow have seen dozens
or premature ejaculation treatment hundreds of arrests as campaigners peacefully refuse to move from in front
of the premature ejaculation treatment gates. Many will use greatly reinforced chains and handcuffs to link
themselves together, whilst police
are expected to deploy specialist cutting teams to remove them.
Kate Hudson, Chair of
the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament,
said "At a premature ejaculation treatment time of economic crisis it is scandalous that billions of pounds are
being squandered on new facilities at Aldermaston. Trident is premature ejaculation treatment a Cold War
weapons system which does nothing to premature ejaculation treatment protect Britain from the threats we face
today, yet it is the one item that
has premature ejaculation treatment been excluded from reconsideration in the government's Defence Review.
Prioritising spending on nuclear weapons when premature ejaculation treatment most other areas face cuts is a
real vote loser - polls now consistently show a premature ejaculation treatment majority against spending £76bn
or premature ejaculation treatment more on Trident Replacement - the sooner politicians wake up to this the
better. [note 7]
She continued,
"This May, world leaders will meet
at the UN for the five-yearly review of the nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty. We need Britain
to premature ejaculation treatment be living up to its 40 year old treaty commitment to disarm, not setting the worst example possible by pushing
ahead with a premature ejaculation treatment new generation of weapons. Presidents Obama and Medvedev are
committed to the goal of a nuclear weapons-free world,
whilst China, India
and Pakistan
are premature ejaculation treatment amongst the 125 countries who support the immediate negotiation of a Nuclear
Weapons Convention - banning nukes in the premature ejaculation treatment way that chemical and biological
weapons are outlawed. Over 120 MPs
have called on the government to back a
Convention - for premature ejaculation treatment the sake of all our safety we need Gordon Brown to heed their
call." [note 8]
