Rosie Kane takes a stand against Weapons of Mass Destruction

Scottish Socialist Party MSP Rosie Kane will tomorrow appear at Helensburgh District Court charged with Breach of the Peace following the 22 October 2001 Blockade of Faslane nuclear submarine base on the Clyde.
Rosie will refuse to pay any fine imposed by the court in protest at Britain’s possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Rosie has been fined after previous arrests but has always paid up because of her two young daughters.
This time, however, Rosie’s daughters have told her that she should do as her conscience dictates and the newly elected MSP will refuse to pay any fine imposed by the court.
Rosie explained why she was prepared to go to jail over this issue;
“Iraq was bombed into oblivion because it was suspected they may have Weapons of Mass Destruction.
“ We know that there are WMD’s at Faslane and yet when we protest at their presence in Scotland we all get arrested.”
Rosie Kane will appear at Helensburgh District Court, 10.00am, Tuesday 10th June where she will be defending herself.
