In Britain, Prime Minister Tony Blair has won approval for a call to renew Britain’s fleet of nuclear submarines despite a revolt from nearly 90 members of his Labour Party. The program, Trident, has drawn widespread protest. On Wednesday, an unidentified protester spoke out at a naval base in Scotland.
Unidentified protester: “I feel we face the kind of danger that has more to do with changing people’s attitudes and changing people’s attitudes to how they deal with conflict. And in that case I don’t think Trident’s any help whatsoever. It is 75 billion that we could put into education and that we could put into changing attitudes around the world.”
