A US military base in Yorkshire was targeted for protests today as part of an international day of action against foreign military bases.
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) said that the world’s military powers, particularly the US, operate more than 1,000 bases worldwide, often outside the control of the countries which host them.
Menwith Hill, a sprawling development on the North York Moors outside Harrogate, is one of a network of high-tech US bases spread around the world, gathering military, political and economic information relayed to it by information-gathering satellites.
