Capital nurse in Faslane protest

AN Edinburgh nurse is to join a group of health workers protesting against the Government's plan to replace the Trident nuclear submarines.

Sheena Holden, a nurse and complementary therapist, will join other nurses and doctors at a protest at the Faslane naval base tomorrow.

She said: "When, in the mid-eighties, nurses and health professionals campaigned against nuclear weapons, our message was beds not bombs. Sadly, the bombs are still with us and the Government wants to replace Trident. Our message is the same."
