Scottish CND backs a Yes vote

ANTI-NUCLEAR activists promised “unity” yesterday as a leading campaign officially joined the “yes” camp in Scotland’s independence referendum.

The Scottish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament confirmed yesterday that it had registered with the Electoral Commission as a campaigning organisation in light of the SNP government’s pledge to remove nuclear weapons from Scottish soil.

The vote in September has come to dominate discussions in the nation’s peace movement, with some activists arguing a Yes vote could herald the end of Britain’s nuclear stockpile.
