Yesterday The West Lothian branch of the Scottish Socialist Party joined with othe party brances, SNP and various other anti-trident groups for a march to call for the worldwide abolition of nuclear weapons. The march left from the Parliament building at 11AM and headed up the royal mile towards The Grassmarket for a rally where various members of different political and non-political groups were going to speak. SNP first minister Alex Salmond spoke first. Expressing his concerns over the nuclear weapons based on the Clyde and the amount of funding put into the Trident programme. Once again Mr Salmond showed his true beliefs by not calling for a worldwide abolition of nucelar weapons but just calling for them to be removed from within Scottish borders. The job of calling for a worldwide abolition of nuclear arms came yet again from Kate Hudson Scotlands CND representative. Mrs Hudson called for all nations to disarm nuclear weapons projects.
