CND activists block the main gates of USAF Lakenheath
PEACE campaigners are set to target US-controlled RAF Lakenheath airbase in Suffolk tomorrow in protest against the return of US nuclear warheads to Britain.
Among the protesters will be women who took part in the 19-year blockade of RAF Greenham Common in Berkshire from 1981, demanding — and achieving — the removal of US cruise missiles from the base.
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament says the nominally. named RAF Lakenheath is being prepared for storing a US nuclear arsenal.

Campaigns against nuclear weapons on the Clyde, financial backing for arms firms and rising militarism are converging with solidarity for Palestine, as Scotland’s peace movement builds momentum ahead of the 2026 Holyrood election, says ARTHUR WEST
