OVER 30 anti-nuclear activists were slapped in irons yesterday during a blockade of Britain’s “obscene” Trident nuclear base at Faslane.

At least 34 people were arrested at the Scottish naval base for breaching the peace after lying in gateways and covering themselves in red paint.

Workers arriving for their morning shifts were unable to get through the 150-strong protest that blocked the main site entrances from 7am to 1.30pm, being told to go home instead.
