Campaigners slam pro-nuke Tories’ blindness to the changing world

ATOMIC weapons campaigners yesterday condemned the blindness of the pro-Trident Tory government to the dangers of “a changing world.”

Over 30 MPs joined CND chair Kate Hudson in Parliament to show their opposition to the Tories’ renewal of the Trident programme.
