Faslane fun and meaningful action

The Faslane action today was a huge amount of fun and I've been at 3 other blockades plus other demos there.
Relatively accurate corporate reports at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4647707.stm and http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/hi/news/5040743.html. (non-Scottish media do not report Scottish stories unless mass violence occurs - don't waste your time).
As usual the blockade was extremely peaceful and
goodnatured, but this time there was a really uplifting party atmosphere. Special thanks to the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army for the fun, and to RinkyDink ( http://www.baka.co.uk/rinky/index.html) for the music and open mic. When I left at 2pm all gates were firmly blocked and everyone was sleeping, reading, dancing, singing, making French toast, pouring tea and generally spending time more profitably than shoring up militarism and genocidal weaponry.
