ANTI-NUCLEAR campaigners have condemned the insanity of the Labour government’s commitment to militarisation, nuclear threats and war.

The rebuke came during the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament's (CND) national demonstration at the BAE shipyard at Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, on Saturday.

Peace campaigners flooded Barrow’s town centre after Labour hyped up the shipyard’s importance by announcing that the port is to be granted “royal” status.
