Sanity prevails.
Update:
The day is rapidly approaching for this
motion to become binding in law.
Please make a note of 22nd January 2021
further updates to come.
The next stage is to bring the nuclear powers down
so they agree to abandon their illegal arsenals
of mass death and destruction
and hand them all over to be totally decomishioned
forever.
It was officially announced last night
that the UN motion which has been so painstakingly
been put together over many years,
to banish all nuclear weapons forever,
has attained the critical number of 50 states
who have now ratified.
Therefore in 90 days this will become binding
on all member states, including the
world’s 9 nuclear armed powers.
please see: https://www.icanw.org/
This is truly wonderful news and could mean also
that all the wasted money put into making and maintaining these
could be redirected to end world poverty
and address the environmental disaster
we are now surrounded by.
Let’s not stop there, let’s banish all war
of all forms as well.

75 year anniversary of atomic bomb drop on Hiroshima, destructive power still multiplying
11.02 on Thursday 6th August Marks 75 years since the ‘never to be used’ atomic bomb devastated Hiroshima.CND invites you to commemorate the occasion safely with a socially distanced vigil at the Peace Memorialfrom 10.45 to 11.15 to mark the first atomic bomb drop at 11.02. The Peace Memorial is behind the better known War Memorial,facing the Memorial Garden and market. There are also many online events for those unable to attend in person, listed on CNDUK website. This is part of Global Peace Wave, first seen in 1987.The organisers of the World Conference have called for another Peace Wave this year, with the following statement:“Let us make the Peace Wave a tremendous campaign by which the anti-nuclear movements, in cooperation with all other movements demanding cuts in military expenditure, protection of human lives, livings and jobs, gender equality and other vital needs, will take the lead in establishing a nuclear weapon-free, peaceful and just world.”
Local (Green Party) councillor Lesley Grahame said: ‘The appropriate response to a massacre anywhere is ‘Never again’. However since dropping the first atomic bomb 75 years ago, governments of all shades have instead been spending eye-watering sums of money to multiply their capacity for mass destruction. Just replacing Trident is estimated to take £205 billion of our money away from vital services, while the NHS, local government, schools struggle to cope without sufficient funding, and food poverty leaves many worrying about the end of the week as well as the end of the world.’ Successive UK governments have claimed to support multi-lateral disarmament, but have refused to join the negotiations for multilateral disarmament enshrined in the Treaty for Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.In the latest release of the MoD’s major projects data, the Amber/Red rating given to the Core Production Capability project at Rolls-Royce in Derby has been justified on the basis that delays in reactor core production could slow down progress in building nuclear-armed Dreadnought submarines. This is the first time the MoD have officially acknowledged this risk, and in Norwich we might reasonably ask whether Sizewell performs a similar function in fuelling mass destruction, and putting local and not-so-local residents at risk. Norwich City Council is among hundreds of cities, local and regional bodies all around the world that have spoken out in support of the Treaty for Prohibition of Nuclear Weapans through the International Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons’ Cities Appeal.Britain has 200 nuclear weapons, 120 are ready to use, each one estimated to deliver 100 kilotons, compared with the 15 kilotons that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Sue Wright is taking up CND’s Origami Crane Challenge to create 75 origami cranes to raise money for CND. You can sponsor her by donating through https://cnduk.org/donate/ or by phoning 07508 778 357. She will be displaying these raising a glass for peace at Pull’s Ferry on Riverside Walk (opposite the Yacht Station), on Sunday 9th August at 6pm. This is the anniversary of the United States’ second atomic bomb drop on Nagasaki.

This is to confirm that for the first time in 14 years
the NPC&PC event has regretably had to be
cancelled owing to precautions necessitated
by the Coronovirus pandemic.
We are hoping that nevertheless a get together
of members may be possible in some way
and also maybe a modest Peace Cycle
to mark UN Peace Day 21st September.
More news will be available nearer the time.
A sign of hope and reassurance in these very difficult times:

Norwich Peace Camp & Peace Cycle commends all those, especially in NHS
who are doing everything they can to bring the Corona virus under control. This is a whole world issue, no one is totally unaffected.
We need complete international co-operation at all levels and and a final end to war forever. Enough is enough, too many have died and suffered over so many years in a futile attempt to be all powerful. The UN General Secretary very recently called for a global ceasefire, this should be honoured by all immediately. Once Corona virus is overcome, and we will overcome it as previous plagues and calamities also, we must finally learn the lessons that we cannot continue destroying ourselves and our beautiful earth on the altar of war. If we wish to survive and for those yet to come especially we owe this as a minimum out of respect to our better destiny and especially for those who are poor, downtrodden, disenfranchised and abused, all this has to end
or there will be no future at all for anyone.
Give Peace a Chance
