Lakenheath still blocked. 94-year-old human rights lawyer, Margaret Owen, says: "At the age of 94 this is a wonderful opportunity for me to take part in a lock on, which I'd never heard of before, and to stand against the war machines that are destroying millions of lives."

Trump has deployed US nuclear weapons at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk.
There has been no parliamentary scrutiny or debate about this deployment, which would make Britain a target in any nuclear conflict involving the US.
Kick out Trump's nukes! Shut down US bases!
🚨Breaking: Peace protesters have blockaded the main gate to RAF Lakenheath, demanding that the UK government:
- shut down US bases in Britain
- stop its support for illegal wars
- and remove US nuclear weapons from UK soil

It was a full house for our public meeting calling to Kick Out Trump’s Spy base!
RAF Menwith Hill is one of the many US bases here in the UK that has been used to facilitate war crimes in Gaza, Iran and elsewhere.
It's time to shut them down!

Kick out Trump's spy base! RAF Menwith Hill in Yorkshire plays a central role in the US missile defence system, which is meant to allow Trump to use nuclear weapons without fear of retaliation. It has also been linked to US war crimes in Iran and the genocide in Gaza.

The public knows where the governments priorities should be: tackling the cost of living crisis, not ramping up military spending.
A strong majority oppose these wrong economic choices. It’s time the government listened.

Protestors battled the elements today to demonstrate at RAF Menwith Hill and call for the government to Kick Out Trump’s Spybase!
We struck golfballs that look like the base’s giant radars (radomes), which are likely to have given intelligence to assist US and Israeli war crimes

These exercises only increase nuclear tensions and ultimately the risk of them being used. We need a nuke-free Europe.
