LIKE Brian Quail, whose letter on Wednesday links independence and opposition to Trident (Hopefully the UN will ban Trident by the end of this year, January 8), I also look forward to a nuclear-free Scotland.
I ask your readers to spare a thought for those at Faslane Peace Camp, whose presence at the gates of the base has been saying for 35 years that we will never tolerate nuclear weapons. Every Wednesday from 4-5pm a vigil is held. I have attended, and was pleased to see a lot of the workforce are sympathetic to the anti-nuclear view.

Your support is always needed – try to attend the vigil, or visit the peace camp, or make a donation of cash, food or anything else they might need to “protest and survive”.
Their address is Faslane Peace Camp, Shandon, Helensburgh G84
See you at the march!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
