Faslane 365
Faslane 365 was a year-long blockade of the Faslane Naval Base next to Gare Loch in western Scotland, where nuclear submarines are stationed. During the protest of 2006-7, Leon joined the demonstrators for a couple of days, a photo from which was used on the cover of A Proper State. The song, written after the event and recalling his experiences, incorporates typical protest chants between verses exploring the issues, and the thoughts which run through one's mind while standing in the rain for hours to try and make a point.
