The nuclear threat

John Anderson urges Friends to again take action

by John Anderson 20th May 2011

Like many others, I have been protesting against nuclear weapons on and off for most of my adult life and, during the 1980s, was an enthusiastic member of the Medical Campaign against Nuclear Weapons. Then came the implosion of international communism and, somehow, things seemed less immediately threatening: so, along with the reduced anxiety, out went our steam. For me, and I think for many others, there was a ten-year period when we hardly gave the matter a sidelong thought.
