The most shameful aspect of the recent general election has been the way the unionist parties collaborated in making Trident a non issue. Considering the enormity of the issue involved, this was a shameful tactic. Our case is now, as always, morally and logically irrefutable. Our task in the immediate future is to seize the possibilities of making it realisable. Since then I ve always been a supporter and most times an activist.
Example exists even in the recent past.
In every case, even in Germany or South Africa, the overwhelmingly non violent action of large numbers clinched it. But we live in a changing world and our movement is affected by it. 12 Years ago I sat with 6 others in a Glasgow flat bemoaning that we were all that existed of Glasgow Anti Apartheid. That happened because the time was right. But it wouldn t have without the continuity that was guaranteed by the core of activists.
