Flavia Tudoreanu – Co-organiser of Scottish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
I’m one of these bad Romanian immigrants you hear about from UKIP or tabloid newspapers. Keep your distance as I might be bad mouthing Trident and those backing nuclear weapons, brag about my wee daughter or even bore you to death with my crafty projects.
I’ve been working with CND for the past 5 years and have been involved in all the aspects of our campaign.

You can find out more about the Scottish CND on their Facebook page.
