Part of the Trident: we don't buy it tour blog 
It’s setting sail day on board the Arctic Sunrise; in a few hours, we’ll be leaving Edinburgh to make our way around the Scottish coast to Greenock, outside Glasgow.
It will be interesting to talk to people in Glasgow about Blair's plan to replace Trident - in Edinburgh, it's been striking to see how much people hate the idea, and how out of touch Blair and his cronies have become. Yesterday, we even had somebody from the Royal Navy sign our petition against replacing the submarines!
While we're sailing around the Scottish coastline, you can help to stop Blair from perpetuating the UK’s ability to kill people in the most brutally indiscriminate way ever invented - and starting a new arms race. He wants to spend £4,500 of each British family’s money to do this, and MPs have until March to decide which way they’re going to vote.
It’s really, really important to make sure your MP votes with their conscience, not with their political masters. MPs are making up their minds now – please write to yours and let tell them to vote against a new nuclear bomb and a new arms race. Ask them not to jeopardise (and contravene) the international agreements that have already got rid of half the world’s nuclear weapons.
Right now, Michael Matherson (SNP), Chris Ballance (Green), John Mayer and the legendary Angie Zelter are making their way to the ship to present a consultation to our Captain before we leave - more about that shortly...
