Protest at parliament continues

Our climbers have been up a crane beside Big Ben for seven hours now - the banner’s looking big and beautiful in front of parliament, and the climbers have enough supplies to stay there until tomorrow afternoon’s vote.

Free at last! (Now can we have our boat back please?)

The thing nobody tells you about being arrested is just how boring it is. Not just need-a-good-book boring; after the adrenaline rollercoaster of a 14-hour blockade, the protracted thumb-twiddling of detention is mind-achingly, eye-bleedingly, soul-crushingly boring.

The following motion on Greenpeace was lodged in the Scottish Parliament:

That the Parliament congratulates Greenpeace on its recent blockade of a Trident nuclear submarine at its base at Faslane; considers that Tony Blair is pushing through the replacement of Trident, an immoral, illegal and unnecessary weapon, against the wishes of the majority of the British people; acknowledges that its replacement will pose a threat to the security of the world, both by the possibility of it being used and by encouraging other countries to maintain or develop their own nuclear weapons, and calls on the Scottish Executive to stand up for the people of Scotland and the world and put pressure on Tony Blair to scrap the Trident replacement.
