IT is always pleasing to report on a successful undertaking by a pro-independence group, and the Scottish National Party Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (SNPCND) has a just recorded such a success.

SNPCND, which is a sub-group of the Scottish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, has organised an online discussion tomorrow night, and the “sold out” notices have had to be put up on Eventbrite as it is fully subscribed.

The topic “How to block any plan for continued nuclear weapons operations on the Clyde after Scottish independence” is one that will be of interest to most National readers – indeed the Sunday National mentioned the session and that may well have helped the “full up” signs to arrive.

Nothing daunted, SNPCND has promptly organised a second free session on “Guantanamo on the Clyde” to take place on Thursday, August 20, at 7pm.

The group explained: “We are members of both the SNP and Scottish CND. We campaign against nuclear weapons and provide platforms for the discussion of topical issues involving weapons of mass destruction.

“We believe that only through independence for Scotland will we be able to get rid of the nuclear bombs that foul our coast.”

The event hosts will again be Jean Anderson, SNPCND secretary; Bill Ramsay, SNPCND convener; Isobel Lindsay, Scottish CND vice-chair; and Gail Lythgoe, international law specialist.
