Roof of Scottish Parliment occupied

At 8 o'clock this morning activists attempted to occupy the roof of the Scottish Parliment at Holyrood. Whilst four activists were arrested before they could reach the roof a lone activist managed to reach the canopy over the front of the building. He unfurled a banner reading, "WHATEVER THEY VOTE TRIDENT IS STILL WRONG".
At around one o'clock the Police brought in a cherry picker and a specialist police climbing team. They proceeded to cut the banner down whilst the courageous climber did a flit accross the roof. He was unfortuanately arrested at the back of the Parliment building.
A supporter on the ground was also arrested for shouting support to the activist, apparantly he was "inciting a breach of the peace".
All those arrested are to be held over night to appear in Edinburgh Sherriffs court tomorrow.

Photo's will follow later.
