Time to use the law against Trident

A good friend of mine was fined £75 at Helensburgh last month for her third "blockading sit-down" at the Trident nuclear submarine base at Faslane on the Gare Loch. I myself spent Whit weekend there for the Christian peace witness; and though I don't feel called to "direct action", I accept that the recent 365-day campaign there raised public awareness of the danger to our planet constituted by the WMDs which are liable to be used unless eradicated in time.
