Pixies and fairies, I'm all for them. This from Faslane Peace Camp:

Scrap
Trident pixies spent yesterday evening painting a notice of the April
Scrap Trident event on the side of the derelict Blue Ribband factory
building overlooking the M8 in the Kinning Park area of Glasgow. The activists painted “Blockade Faslane April 15th 2013: www.scraptrident.org.” with the event logo on top of the building which, until now, has had an advert for the space and some graffiti.
One of the painters said: “We are reclaiming this advertising space for
the peace movement. The Armed Forces spend nearly £2billion a year on
marketing and recruitment. The peace movement doesn't have this kind of
money so we saw an opportunity for free, moral advertising and took it.
We are bombarded with negative, sexist and shameless consumerist and
pro-military advertising in every single space we inhabit on this
planet. Even children as young as seven are targeted by military
marketing via the schools we trust to educate them in their best
interests. "We've reclaimed this particular space and used it
to advertise direct action against nuclear weapons. An action that we
believe is representative of the anti-nuclear sentiment of the majority
of people in Scotland and that will have an empowering affect on all
those who take part. We will continue to resist the ongoing stationing
of the British nuclear weapons system on the Clyde and we will continue
to fight their replacement”. The painting was done to reach out
to more people in Glasgow and urge them to join in the three days of
the Scrap Trident event in April. |
