Fight must go on, declare anti-nuclear protesters

A FLOTILLA of Greenpeace-led boats which intercepted two nuclear fuel-laden freighters bound for Sellafield, last night declared: “The fight must go on.”

A massive sea-borne protest is expected off the coast of Cumbria this morning when the ships carrying plutonium fuel dock at Barrow-in-Furness, close to Sellafield.

Up to four of the 20 boats in the Nuclear Free Irish Sea Flotilla staged a peaceful protest within sight of the ships yesterday afternoon but none made contact as activists maintained a safe distance from the heavily-armed vessels.
