Yet another day of the Faslane 365 blockade ended as the police broke another weird and wonderful lock-on device. And tomorrow being advent Sunday, and thus, the beginning of advent, it seemed only appropriate that Mary, Joseph and the (lock-on-device-aka-) Donkey should arrive at the gate, only to be sent away again. Better put, it would be appropriate if you're part of Prayer-i58, the radical Christian-based anti-authoritarian network.

Not getting what they wanted, they sat down and police moved in to arrest them, discovering over £50 worth of locks and chains holding the pair in place. After some time spent cutting them out, the police took them to the holding area just beyond the base, before beginning their journey to cells for the night.

Having phoned around, legal support can confirm that the pair are en route to Clydebank Police Office, where many other 365'ers have been held over the recent weeks. The total arrests number currently stands at 327 arrests (as shown on the F365 website). As today is a Saturday, it is possible those arrested might be inside until as late as Monday afternoon.
