Tommy Sheridan Jailed for Opposing Nuclear Weapons

BBC NEWS | Scotland | Sheridan jailed after protest

Speaking outside the court, his 65-year-old mother said: "I have utter contempt for the verdict and I am very proud of what Tommy has done.

"What enrages me is that people like Tommy are campaigning for peace and the individuals who make these weapons of mass destruction are rolling in money.

"It costs £5,000 million a year to keep Trident going. Imagine how many hospitals, houses and homes for the elderly we could build with that money." BBC
