It was so great to see interviews from people who were there from the very beginning of the Campaign. It is scary that they're now in their 80's and 100's and the bombs are still there and that such mass protest has been systematically ignored . It's more scary that the bombs are 8 times the size of Hiroshima. It just shows how important it is to do these kind of films. Why is Channel 4 not showing this?

Sane views from a wide cross section of intelligent society - how refreshing!

We usd to throw eggs at thse smelly people evey easter in the 80's. There was going to be a nuke wipeopt where we were all doomed before 1990 according to some god-botherer in 1983 at Aldrmaston. He was a liar too

Looking at the banners in this film no more war, well tell that to the clerics and hawks, war is with us forever and why is that? Its becuase we are human and will always fight over something whether it is oil, real estate, or religion, thats the way it is and thats sadly is the way it is going to stay, so all these huffes and puffers who are outraged at waste of money are wasting thier time, sorry I don't like it but can't bring myself to believe any different.

In thier eyes we are all expendable, we the great unwashed, some of us live within ten miles of this place, and just get on with living here, I mean if it all went up, then what is there we could do about it. I don't agree with it but it was all invented long before I was born, so my 44 years have always lived in the shadow of these weapons, and in my early years, the cold war. So I'm sorry to say protest is futile.

Which I happen to think is correct. If you wish to protest against this inhumane invention then do so at No 10 Downing street, camping out side of the plant itself just won't do any good whatsoever, I mean do you actually think that the power hawks of government are going to listen to weirdy beardies in multicoloured jumpers? No they are not.

Sadly I think the protests will be ignored, in fact just recently a peice in the papers actually condemned the protests as Inconvenient to local population.
