with Robin Harper, George Galloway and Tommy Sheridan. Other speakers include Angie Zelter from Trident Ploughshares and Bruce Kent from CND as well as representatives from other groups.
The carnival atmosphere carries on with music from bands including The Scheme, Shooglenifty and Samba Ya Bamba and stalls from environmental and political groups making the day both fun and informative. This is certainly the aim as Phil Jones, CND’s campaigns worker, explains: ‘We want to draw people in and have fun, and at the same time put out this serious message that we don’t want Trident and we don’t want the British Government to co-operate with the Star Wars plans. We want it to be fun -
not a duty.’ (Jane Hamilton)
