A police boat draws alongside a Greenpeace dinghy as the Faslane nuclear weapons submarine base is blockaded

Seven Greenpeace boats have blockaded the Trident nuclear weapons submarine base at Faslane in Scotland as Labour MPs prepare to board one of the nuclear armed vessels and set sail in a government PR push.

At the same time Tony Blair is further ratcheting up international tension by supporting Bush's proposed Star Wars system that will lead to a new arms race.

The open boat day in Edinburgh was a brilliant success, so we're having another one - this time in Greenock, near Glasgow (map). For a guided tour around a working Greenpeace ship, come along to Custom House Quays at Greenock Docks between 11am and 4pm on Sunday 25th February - hope to see you there!
