No to US nukes in Britain
New nuclear weapons at Lakenheath place the British public in danger, warns DIANE ABBOTT MP

IT HAS become widely understood that there will now be a renewed stationing of US nuclear weapons on British soil.

There are multiple reasons for opposing this plan, not least on the grounds of democracy. But the most important reason is that at a time of increased conflict in Europe, stationing nuclear weapons in Britain and other European countries makes us more vulnerable to attack, not less.

How this US decision came to light is itself instructive about the entire process. It was revealed by scientists and campaigners and has only recently been aired in the British press.
