What could £15bn buy for Scotland, instead of renovations for a nuclear weapons base?
Here's just a couple of ideas.
COMMENT with your own thoughts for how to spend an extra £15bn in Scotland.

Five months ago, the United States killed 168 schoolchildren and teachers in Iran.
The Tomahawk missiles used were made by Raytheon - parts of which are made in Scotland.
We will never forget.

Of course its not enough, spears and arrows were not enough neither guns or tanks or bombs or killer drones or nuclear bombs. Peace is not the product of terror or fear. Only when we learn to love one another will we have Peace,

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

Ruth Maguire: “Are we going to be a country where the state funds dying but hospice care relies on charity?”

UK airbases were arguably INDISPENSIBLE in the military US build-up around Iran in 2026.
Now that the UK is directly involved in military operations + hosting US bombing runs, it should be obvious that the initial "hesitation" by the PM was a smokescreen and political ploy.

#BrianQuail - So many people, so many connections with Brian Quail. A most beautiful requiem mass today for a true man of peace who worked so hard for a nonviolent world. His obituary is on our website. Rest in peace, Brian - we SHALL overcome.

“One is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the USA around through nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total inability of violence to change anything for the better. DB

Rest in Peace Brian Quail, one of the Scottish peace movement's greatest ever champions.
He will be hugely missed, but Brian's legacy will continue to inspire our movement for peace and disarmament.

#Nonukes - Today we will be at the Ash Wednesday vigil at Faslane nuclear submarine base in the west of Scotland. We will pay homage to Brian Quail, who devoted his life to seeking a world free from nuclear weapons, & who passed away yesterday. Rest in peace, Brian, & thank you.
Ash Wednesday at Faslane, from here 4 submarines operate, one is kept on patrol 24/7. Each sub has 8 American Trident missiles, each missile with up to 5 British warheads, each of which is 8 times more powerful than the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, killing over 140,000 people.

Good to see so many people concerned for justice for people and the environment at Scotland's Climate March today. @scottishgreens @FoEScot @sciaf
When someone steals another's clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not? ...the coat unused in your closet belongs to the one who needs it; ...the money which you hoard up belongs to the poor.

📃Scotland's Church leaders have issued a joint statement calling on the immediate recognition of the State of Palestine by the UK, for a ceasefire in Gaza, release of all hostages, and the establishment of a just and lasting peace that includes a viable Palestinian state.

#NoNukes - Ross Ahlfeld reflects on the 80th anniversary of the of those first atomic bombs devastating the cities of Hiroshima & Nagasaki. We gathered at the nuclear submarine base at Faslane on the Clyde estuary. Read his blog:

When we applaud the Government plans to bring more Gazan children to UK for treatment we are called caring and compassionate, when we ask to stop the slaughter of innocents and end the genocide in Palestine we are called terrorists.
