CND activists on the march [CND peace camp]

NUCLEAR war has never been closer as Nato and Russia fight a proxy war in Ukraine and Gaza remains under siege, peace campaigners warned yesterday as they began a 10-day encampment outside a US airforce base believed to be preparing for an “ongoing nuclear mission.”

Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) activists told of how history was repeating itself as they rallied near RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk.

They spoke to the Morning Star as they gathered in nearby Brandon town centre following a three-day walk from Norwich.
