No knitting while nuclear weapons exist

A grandmother of two recently stood up to an English judge who advised her to stop protesting and take up knitting.

My son's been telling me for years to take up knitting. But I can't knit. As long as there are nuclear weapons in the world, and particularly in Plymouth, I will carry on protesting.

"When they are gone I will be happy to pick up some knitting needles and put down my bolt-croppers. And my tin of syrup."
