To add to the list, a couple of weeks ago the US spy base at Menwith Hill in Yorkshire was entered - a shitload of serious damage was done and the perpetrators left without being noticed.

Last month I was asked to drive a car load of women down there for a female-only action, and I agreed. However, I cracked a joke about them not being able to find a decent woman driver, so they made alternative arrangements and dumped me.

1. ARK ROYAL ON THE CLYDE Protests are planned at the Ark Royal's visit to Clyde everyday until Thursday this week. Meet at Partick Underground / Safeway car park at 10am for transport or make your own way to Helensburgh and phone 01436 679194 or0141 423 1222 for more details. If you have a car take the road from Garelochhead to Arrochar and park in the small parking bay next to the BP fuel depot. People will be there until early evening. The Ark Royal arrived on the Clyde on Sunday afternoon. It had sailed from Portsmouth to lead the Task Force deployed to the Gulf for a war on Iraq and is expected to dock at Glan Mallan on Loch Long on the Clyde until Thursday or Friday to collect munitions and supplies. Part of that cargo is thought to include munitions that had to be delivered by lorry to Glen Douglas last week after two Scottish train drivers refused to take them by rail. Glen Mallan is the small jetty used for load and unload armaments moving by ship to and from the massive armaments store at Glen Douglas. The jetty lies between Arrochar and the BP oil terminal at Finart on Loch Long. Glen Douglas is a massive armaments depot carved into the side of the mountain range that separates Loch Lomond and Loch Long. A photo of today's protest can be seen www.orange-today.co.uk/news/story/sm_739305.html 2. SATURDAY 15th FEBRUARY It has been confirmed that Prime Minister Tony Blair is due to address the Labour Party Conference at 2pm on Saturday 15th February. The demonstration at the same time outside the SECC is set to be one of the largest anti-war rallies ever seen in Scotland. As well as groups from across Scotland organising transport to attend, anti-war groups from as far away as Manchester are planning to come to Glasgow. Demonstration too big for George Square! Currently we are in negotiations with the police, SECC and Glasgow City Council over arrangements. Because it is looking to be an even bigger protest than the October 19th demonstration which brought the centre of Glasgow to a standstill, George Square is too small to use as an assembly point and we currently looking at switching the assembly point to Glasgow Green. THIS MEANS DETAILS CARRIED IN PREVIOUS PUBLICITY WILL CHANGE. We hope to get new details publicised as soon as possible. If you are coming in a group please let us know, as soon as you can, your transport arrangements for the 15th so we can publicise them and so we have a better idea of the numbers coming. We also need many more stewards to help with this event - please volunteer by phoning the CND office on 0141 423 1222. As was done successfully in October, the Scottish Coalition for Justice Not War have agreed that families with children will lead the march on 15th Feb so please encourage as many families to come along. We are producing cards with doves, peace symbols and 'Not in My Name, Mr Blair!' printed on them for people to sign and tie onto the barriers, fences and signposts around the SECC to leave a clear message at the SECC against the war after the rally finishes. These can be used on street stalls and meetings to build for the demonstration so please make sure you order some from the Scottish CND office. Leaflets and posters for the demonstration are also available from the Scottish CND offices - you can order them by phone or on-line. (£2.00 / 1000)

I went thru to protest at the Ark Royal today, but immediately got depressed and came home. I've never seen an aircraft carrier before. Susans of police protecting it, susans of dock workers loading munitions anna susans of parents saying goodbye to their wains off to kill or die. I could've gret. I got no impression of militarism, it wis mair like a wake. I'm not going back there. I'm going to the Scottish Parliament all day Thursday to protest the real villians and watch my own representative misrepresent me. SCND: LOBBY OF SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT DEBATE ON IRAQ, THURSDAY 16th JANUARY If you can - join the picket / lobby of the Scottish Parliament from 9am in Parliament Square or the small rally there at 1pm after the debate has finished. People are going in to the public gallery to witness the debate. You need to reserve seats to do this. You can reserve up to 5 seats (subject to availability) by contacting the Scottish Parliament Visitor Centre on 0131 348 5411 (minicom 0131 3485415). Tickets are free. If you can't make it please contact your MSP to urge them to oppose the use of military force. The motion has been put down by the SNP. While the wording could be stronger, there is more chance of achieving a majority vote around this stance. Please let your MSPs know your personal opinions on the current situation. Email addresses of MSPs can be found in their biographies at: www.scottish.parliament.uk/msps/msps.html The motion for debate is: S1M-3760 Mr John Swinney: The Current International Situation-That the Parliament endorses United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 on the basis that it provides a mandate for weapons inspection in Iraq; welcomes the legal opinion of Matrix Chambers on behalf of CND which concluded that Resolution 1441 does not provide an authorisation for military action in Iraq and that any such use of force would breach international law; believes that UN weapons inspectors must be afforded total freedom of access in Iraq and to all evidence in the possession of other states, together with sufficient time in order to produce a comprehensive report for the consideration of the Security Council on the state of Iraqi compliance with the resolution; believes that no commitment of UK forces should be made without a specific mandate for military action in Iraq in the form of a further Security Council resolution based on clear, published and compelling evidence provided by the UN inspectorate of a material breach of Resolution 1441, and expresses its deep and serious concern that Her Majesty's Government is currently pursuing an inevitable path to war. 2. ARK ROYAL PROTESTS CONTINUE Protests will continue at Glen Mallan where the aircraft carrier Ark Royal is currently loading stores and munitions for the war on Iraq. On Wednesday morning meet at 10.00am outside Partick Station, Glasgow. We have received strong rumours that the Ark Royal will sail at 11am on Thursday morning. To join the protest on that day meet at Partick Station 9am (an hour earlier that on Wednesday) to get out there in time.
