Doctors plan Trident protest at Faslane
DOCTORS and other health workers are set to protest outside the Faslane naval base in opposition to the government's plans to replace the Trident nuclear missile programme.
A group of about 30 health professionals will gather at the Clyde base on Thursday and Friday, saying it is "illegal, immoral and unethical" to possess such weapons.
The doctors, led by Dr Lesley Morrison from the Borders, are prepared to face arrest if police attempt to clear the blockade. Dr Morrison said: "The prevention of nuclear war and the proliferation of nuclear weapons should be a matter of concern to all health professionals."
