Greenham Common Women.

I've heard a lot of talk this last few years, about the evils of our overlords, but very, very, little in the way of "principles of resistance".

In that vein, I would like to publically salute the Women of Greenham common who endured extreme viscitudes for literally years on end to get a class of foreign theatre nuclear weapons removed from the soil of my country. If any of you have mothers who were a part of that movement, give them a little bit of respect for what they eventually accomplished.

  • They were useful idiots who changed nothing - the world moved on - weapons systems come and go and are relocated depending on perceived threat.

    Either that or you're trolling  Smiley

  • I know that in the bigger picture they changed very little. But they DID get that particular class of weapons off our soil. And they did work bloody hard to do it. 

    I'm genuinely respectful and a little grateful for the effort they expended and the result that they got.. Just wish more of the country had been behind them.

    Useful idiots or not they were prepared to take action, and stick with it.

  • they defo made a change, the kept major pressure on the governments  and like u say they did something 

  • The government didn't give one crap about a bunch of rabble bothering an airbase - they were just a continuos training exercise for the base security.
