Cuddly Green Ian Bone’s Comrades?

Ipswich Port: Gateway to Hell (today EADT and Evening Star). Everything you need to know about animal rights’ protesters is in this story. The Evening Star reports (here). Bear in mind, these are yer fluffy lot, who don’t (’in principle’) go in for writing hundreds of letters to neighbours accusing animal researchers of being paedophiles,  and bring misery to some fine scientists, and their families.

Apparently our town’s port may (or may not) be allowing the export of live animals. The local animal rights lot are such incompetents that they once had a demo outside the Co-Op for the old canards, despite the fact that store doesn’t sell delicious duck. So who can judge, as yet?

Now maybe Mary’s Little Lamb,  may dread a sea voyage. Maybe Veronica the Veal likes ‘em. I neither know nor care. Nor about animals, raised by farmers, to die, dying. As if I could even compare that to scenes of horror we see on the telly every night and the plight of the human victims. That brings  to all our eyes something really important about human existence and what we should be fighting for, or rather against.

All I know is that with what’s happening in Gaza, Central Africa (the one that always gets ignored by the left), Iraq, and Afghanistan, not to mention Latin America, and indeed our own Land of Gradgrind and the Workhouse, might have thought of other priorities than standing in the Whertsead Road screaming hysterically about the plight of a few beasts.

I didn’t  notice any well-known ‘anarchist’ faces in the paper, or their mates the Greens, but they may well have been there.  The harmless cranks of the so-called East Anglian Social Forum will be lending their backing. or some of them. No doubt. Even Ian Bone, in his dotage, has taken to loving fury creatures (okay in his case he loathes Upper Class Hunters but he has posted somewhere, if I could be arsed to find it, joining some animal rights’ demo in London).

Here’s to me tea of foie gras and chips!
