The faslance base 'source' is quoted as saying "We’re used to this sort of thing but the people planning it are not the ordinary peaceful protesters" - maybe they should tell Trident Ploughshares, CND and Scottish CND who are, as usual, planning the blockade!
Article also covers the G8Alternatives international organising meeting that has been going on in Scotland this weekend.

Edingburgh airport not to be used for G8 deligates - prestwick is new target
Newspapers are reporting that Edingburg airport has been dropped in favor of Prestick airport as the arrival point for the G8 delegates. Over 1,500 delegates (and 3,000 journalists) are expected and most will travel by road from Prestwick which is on the west coast and much further away from the G8 venue than Edingburgh. While the new route will offer protesters many new possibilties there are multiple possible routes to block unlike the journey from Edingburgh.

"They lied to my children."
"I asked them, what are you doing here? It was then that the children told me that "oh, we were told we were coming to visit you." And I told them “no no no no, thats not reality, the reality is you've been arrested with me."
