Scotland: From the FaslaneG8 site...

"On Monday 4 July 2005, as the 'leaders' of the world gather in Scotland for the G8 summit, we will be gathering just 60 miles away at the biggest and deadliest military base in Scotland to put a spanner in the works of global militarism.

We won't just be saying a resounding 'NO' to militarism and oppression, or to wars fought on the pretext of stopping others getting WMDs. We won't just be saying no to politicians who demand others obey International Law whilst flouting it themselves. We won't only be pointing out the criminal behaviour of spending so much money on weapons while half the world starves. We won't just be highlighting the hypocrisy of talking about poverty without mentioning war.

We will be doing all these things, but we're not just going to be talking – we're also going to be taking direct, practical, non-violent action to do something about it.

We're going to shut down the largest military base in Scotland for the day."
