SOCIALIST leader Colin Fox was expected to lead a campaign on Princes Street today against plans to replace Britain's ageing nuclear deterrent.
The Lothians MSP condemned Prime Minister Tony Blair's £25 billion proposal to build new Trident nuclear missiles, unveiled on Monday.
Mr Fox said: "These Trident nuclear missiles are indiscriminate and capable of wiping out whole cities and consequently killing civilians and combatants alike and as such are illegal under international law."

"illegal under international law."
So is Torturing to death people Colin.I CANNOT see any difference between sending people by Rendition Flights or DEPORTATION to another country to torture and in some cases death any DIFFERENT to Torturing to death people here in Britain.I CANNOT see the difference because there is NO difference. Blair not only faces charges of mass murder in Iraq when he goes/is taken to the The Hague he has broken every international law on HUMAN RIGHTS on ever front. He and everyone in his party NEW Labour.

"consequently killing civilians"
I forget the details because of a picture.A picture that I saw that froze my very being it was a picture of a bridge in Japan there were the shadows of two adults and a child,the child was standing between the adults.The shadows were all that was left after the USA had dropped the atomic bomb.All three had been Vapourised in less then a second due to the Searing Heat.I don`t know if that bridge is still there it may be that it is as a reminder of what took place.If you ever go to Japan ask and go and look and then you will not want nuclear missiles.
