Daily Record SCOTTISH Socialist Rosie Kane walked free from court yesterday after refusing to pay a fine for a nuke protest.

The 44-year-old MSP was found guilty of a breach of the peace at the Faslane nuclear submarine base on the Clyde in August 2004, but refused to pay a £150 fine or carry out a supervised attendance order.

At Glasgow District Court yesterday, magistrate Barry Nisbet freed Kane with a reprimand, saying: "I hope you are proud of your contempt of the law and of the Scottish legal system."

Outside court, Kane said: "It's not about contempt -most of Scotland is against nuclear weapons.

"All I was doing was upholding international law."
