Published Date: 09 September 2007
TWO demonstrators were arrested yesterday in the latest anti-nuclear protest at Faslane Naval Base.
Bruce Gagnon, a US protester, and Dave Webb, a British activist, were arrested blockading the entrance to the base, home to Trident nuclear submarines.

The two were detained at about 3.15pm after Gagnon gave a talk about the increasing militarisation of space.

The year-long campaign of protests, dubbed Faslane 365, has involved people from as far away as Japan.

A foreigner, come to this country to cause trouble, and a Brit called "Dave" - not David, the name his parents will have given him - probably both with beards. Utter, utter creeps the pair of them I imagine. Make them personally pay the bill for policing today's events, and for any inconvenience caused to staff at the base.

#1 Gnasher. What has having a beard got to do with the price of bread? Even Jesus Christ (if he existed) had a beard.

Talking of foreigners, where do you come from?

#2 - never mind where's he's from - which point you so frequently make with those you disagree with - why not fess-up as to where YOU are from?

In any event - it is unclear from the story, as written, if the pair of criminals were arrested for actually 'blockading' the gate, or for giving 'a talk about the increasing militarisation of space'. Or, both?

In any case they should have been shot first, then arrested.

Its nice to see an American with such a publicly spirited stance speaking out on an issue like this.

Also, is "Gagnon" not the most appropriate name for someone speaking out?

Yet more idiots wasting not only their own time but the time of the Police force.

Arrest them all, that's what I say.
