Bse in France - date. Jeremy paxman, one of the country’s most rabid anti-Animal rightists, introduces a newsnight article on donnelly’s study by stating that thousands of Cattle in france with bse are being eaten (not the 52 mentioned in the donnelly report.[1] But then, just when you expected him to add the full stop at what appeared to be the end of the sentence he seemed unable to prevent his conscience forcing him from pausing momentarily to add “perhaps”. This was but a prelude to his real objective which was to ask why brutland isn’t banning french bseef? Included in this article were interviews with christi donnelly and harriet kimball who said it was easy for smugglers to slip in french bseef undetected. The caption underneath the video footage of the kimball interview stated she was a member of the government’s spongiform encephalopathy action committee which many viewers might suspect was a scientific body. It was not and kimball wasn’t a bse scientist either. The final part of the newsnight article on bse was paxman’s interview with john krebbs of the food standards agency. Krebbs did not seem impressed with the latest results from anderson’s bseef-loving team of epidemiologists. He refused to recommend a ban on french bseef on the entirely rational grounds that there have been nearly two hundred thousand cases of bse in brutland, but only 7,000 in france. This incensed poor jeremy who seemed to get it lodged in his brain that the case for banning french bseef was overwhelming. Paxman was incensed that krebb’s evidence was getting in the way of his objective of creating a vegetarian-free country. He insisted that if it was easy for french bseef to get into brutland and be consumed by brutish people then the simplest measure to protect public health would be to ban french bseef imports - although i can’t remember him demanding a ban on the consumption of brutish bseef when there were tens of thousands of Cattle dying in brutland. When krebs dismissed yet again, the argument paxman terminated the interview and, as he panned around to the next camera, a wistful grimace swept across his face as if he wondered why such idiots have been given the job of protecting the health of brutish people. The sole topic of this article was donnelly’s report that brutish bseef is safer than french bseef - there was no mention that another bse cluster had been discovered in brutland. The last thing paxman wanted to do was to spoil the appetites of his eco-nazis, bseef eating viewers. Views on Fish - 12.8.97. According to paxman the Fishing industry is being kept alive by Fish eating vegetarians. Quite how he’d reached such a conclusion is difficult to say but bseef is a prime suspect. He revealed that the latest scientific research has discovered that, “Vast numbers of fish are cannibals.”[2] From which he goes on to argue that this would make it difficult for any vegetarian to convince a Pike that fishing was wrong, obviously implying that if Pike go fishing then why can’t a simple paxman? Awarded the ‘Worst interview on television’ - 1999. In 1999, paxman carried out a discussion on bbc2’s newsnight programme between an Animal rightist and an angler. Throughout the discussion he continually interrupted the Animal rightist whilst allowing the angler to waffle on without restriction. The mundi club has decided to award him the prize for the ‘worst interview on television’. We Love Pharmers - Until Death do us Part - 23.8.200. The following comment by esther rantzen was about as objective as bbc media personalities are ever likely to get about the country’s aristocratic land-owning, pharming, elite, “We love farmers and pharming. We want to support you.”[3] Brutland’s Grot Pack: Ritchie, Guy; Jones, Vinny; Pitt, Brad; & Madonna. Picture the scene. The world’s most glamorous woman with a string of pop song hits and film roles finds life in hollywood becoming unbearable because of the crime and celebrity stalking. She seeks shelter in a tiny island off the coast of france where life is supposed to be more civilized and sedate - only to meet and fall in love with a bloke who’s main claim to fame is creating gangster movies and who’s main hobby in life is acting like a sadist in killing defenceless wild Animals, “Madonna’s husband guy ritchie has angered animal rights activists by killing a wild boar on a hunting expedition.”[4] He teams up with a well known former football player, who’s sensitivity to the beautiful game was legendary. Since giving up trying to play football, he’s started developing a career in films. The jewish film producers in hollywood found some exciting film roles for him. These two pals then chum up with other hollywood stars to produce another film in which, it was alleged, Animals were killed, “The release of a new film starring vinny jones and brad pitt could be blocked over claims it features scenes of Animal cruelty. Hollywood heart-throb pitt is a keen animal welfare activist but jones supports bloodsports. In hare-coursing scenes the hare escapes. However it is alleged several were torn to pieces in filming.”[5] Is their a link with the following example of Animal exploitation, “The world wildlife fund refused to accept a donation from the organizers of a novelty alligator race because of concerns over animal welfare. The offer was made by the online betting company blue square. The race took place at the ealing film studio in london.”[6] After winning the 1997 general election, tony mcblair appointed jeff rooker to the maffia in order to bring about the separation of interests between food producers and food consumers. However, the maffia’s indoctrination of labour politicians was becoming increasingly effective so shortly after entering the hallowed ministry of diseases, he was sounding like a life-long pharmer. He played down the spread of bse around the country by protesting that, “Of the 120,000 farmers with Cattle in the country, two-thirds have never had a case of bse. And most of those who have are the dairy herds involved in milk production. .. of the beef suckler herds 84% have never had a case of bse.”[7] What this statement ignored was the fact that many pharmers disposed of many bse cases or sold bse-infected Cattle on the open market. Even worse was the pretence that dairy herds were totally different from bseef herds when almost all Cattle in bseef suckler herds come from dairy herds. Rooker trots out a simple statistical con-trick for dismissing the prevalence of bse by saying that the number of herds affected by bse was minuscule - if the huge number of pharms which had only one case of bse was ignored, “And it gets smaller when you discount farms who have only had one case of bse. Roughly 35,000 farms have had bse. But 12,000 of those have only a single case.”[8] What better way is there of dismissing the prevalence of a disease than by discounting pharms with the disease? The fact that some herds had only a few cases of bse was more frightening than might be suspected - putting aside for one moment the fact that some pharmers hid subsequent cases of bse in order to protect their herds’ reputation. The fact that some herds had only a few cases of bse suggests that bse was being passed on by maternal transmission. If this was the case then it meant it would be impossible to eradicate bse from brutish herds. If bse was passed on solely through infected feed then a larger number of Cattle, eating from the same bag of feed, should have contracted the disease. In many cases, though, only a few Animals got the disease. This suggested the disease was being passed on from mother to offspring. Rooker’s willingness to protect pharmers’ interests by distorting the facts could also be seen in another controversial area of modern pharming, “Food minister jeff rooker bungled his gm facts yesterday .. Rooker said that land the size of just two football pitches was being used to test genetically modified produce. The average site, he claimed, was about the size of a dining table. But official figures how there are 717 acres of trial sites, equivalent to 350 pitches.”[9] Life. Joining the Mirror. It has been pointed out earlier that there were initial similarities between tony parsons and brian reade. Both joined the mirror at roughly the same time. Both are working class lads from council homes with a talent for journalism. Their views on the monarchy, the countryside, environmentalism were similar. Some of the criticisms made of parsons’ ideas could also be made of reade’s. Gradually, however, the differences between them started to emerge. Initially both of them were disinterested in environmental issues but whilst parsons has continued to dismiss such ideas reade has become a little less disinterested. Environmental. Prejudices against Eco-activists - 4.5.2000. Reade’s attitude toward green issues is basically the same as most working class lads from council estates, “I even began to lay aside my prejudices against eco-activists. (Their houses smell of urine as they never flush the chain after a wee in a bid to save water).”[10] And, most vegans tend to avoid carnivores’ houses after they’ve been to the lavatory to rid their bodies of rotting corpses. Football Mania - 22.6.2000. The following quote reveals reade’s football mania but also his brutal honesty, “On saturday night as every house and pub rocked with joy at england’s victory over germany, i was in a theatre watching a two-hour children’s dance show in which my six year old appeared for four minutes. I didn’t have the heart to tell her i’d sat through the entire show wearing an earpiece tuned into radio five live. Not only did i not miss a kick but for the final 30 minutes was so wracked with fear i had my head between my knees and missed her big finale.”[11] This insight into reade’s mass manufactured character is sickening given his talents and indicates the difficulties facing environmentalists trying to attract people’s attention. Carnivorist Fantasyland - 8.3.2001. Reade’s attitude to carnivorism is typical of most council housing lads. Becoming a vegetarian would have been regarded as sissy or, even worse, middle class and would have brought about considerable abuse from macho carnivore acquaintances, “Many times over the past 20 years i’ve vowed to turn veggie. But i always lacked the meat-balls. Like most carnivores, the price of change was too high. I had a recurring dream about pigs being burnt on mass pyres .. The indescribably beautiful aroma of the biggest bacon sarnie in the world.”[12] But at least he’s stated that he’s thought about the issue rather than having totally dismissed it. Global Burning. 30.11.2000. “Global warming is finally teaching britain a very stark warning.”[13] This article is not about the climate but the contempt with which john prescott is treated by commentators because of his working class origins. 28.12.2000. The following at least indicates that he is able to recognize the phenomena, “In 2000 global warming kicked in with a vengeance ...”[14] 19.4.2001. By 2000 he was clearly becoming more environmentally minded, “But i do care about george bush’s outrageous decision to rip up the kyoto agreement on carbon emissions simply because he refuses to upset american businessmen.”[15] The Royals. Monarchy - 15.1.2001. .. “the most selfish, ruthless, cold, arrogant family in the land. That in the 21stc there is nothing more ridiculous than tax paying citizens bowing and scraping to these pampered accidents of birth.”[16] Mcblair. Urban Poverty - 18.1.2001. Reade comments on mcblair’s visit to a rundown stephney council housing estate in london, “They knew statistics were about to be published showing the inner city poor were being increasingly abandoned and with a general election around the corner, it called for some really heavyweight patronizing. The new money - or was it re-cycled money, was part of “a deal, not a handout.” Blair said defiantly. This was a clear nod to middle england that their leap in living standards would not be wasted down these filthy sinks. And it was the final admission that in the four years labour has been in power it has done virtually nothing to help the people most savaged by 18 years of an extreme right wing government. Blair hangs himself by his own words. A month after he was elected he declared war on poverty by proclaiming, “I don’t want any forgotten people in the britain we’re trying to build.”[17] Mcblair’s visit, with four other ministers, to a rundown stephney council housing estate was like thatcher’s visit to the north east prior to the 1987 general election - a rarity. The Vacuum at the core of Mcblair - 8.6.2000. Reade seems all too well aware of the opportunities that mcblair squandered after his historic general election victory in 1997, “When asked why he hasn’t removed the passports from our 10,000 known hooligans as the germans have, jack straw replied, “We have the legislation but tory back benchers blocked it.” And in one sentence he drags us to the vacuum at the core of the great new labour illusion. A government with a 180 seat majority, crippled with fear and shackled by its enemies. And on and on the list of tasks this government (refuses to enact) for fear of upsetting a mythical middle england, unravels.”[18] The mundi club regards mcblair as a traitor not to the working classes or to a socialist revolution but to decency and honesty. The Fuel Tax Protests. The Fool Tax Insurrectionists - 2.11.2000. This is the point where reade departed significantly from parsons. Whilst parsons supported the fool tax protesters reade didn’t. He condemned their mock ‘jarrow march’ to london, “Andres spence, one of 11 militant organizers of farmers for action, who orchestrates this ongoing outrage, is demanding a second jarrow crusade, urging slow moving vehicles to cripple our roads if gordon brown refuses to surrender to blackmail.”[19] Reade is more concerned about the protestors smearing the memory of the original protestors than he is about bse-cjd or global burning. Reade was one of the few commentators in the conventional media who seemed to have understood that pharmers hijacked public anger over fuel prices in order to pursue their own agenda which was firstly, to force the government to provide them with more subsidies or, if this didn’t work, topple the government. A second major factor was that many of the protestors were welsh Sheep pharmers worried that recent scientific evidence was pointing to bse in the country’s Sheep flocks. This feared they were about to suffer the same fate as the bseef industry and thus pressured mcblair not to declare that the Sheep industry was contaminated by bse or, if that failed, to ensure they would get the subsidies to enable them to survive the crisis. The Pharming Con - 14.9.2000 “We are being conned on a dreadful and frightening scale. It is no wonder the wool is being pulled so expertly (over people’s eyes) - the men doing so have had a lifetime’s training. They are farmers. At least they were. Now they are highly organized activists who, building on the sympathy culled from the countryside alliance anti-hunt marches, scent a wider victory. They are flying pickets seizing on discontent to force the government into giving them the cash and concessions they’ve demanded since the bse crisis. Why were farmers for action activists allowed to picket milk processors and supermarkets in the months leading up to the refinery blockades without the police getting heavy handed or mi5 taking photographs?”[20] Protests about Welfare Benefit Pharmers. This provides another point of departure from parsons. Whilst parsons started off with a solid understanding of political realities which he dumped in favour of views more appealing to the rural, aristocratic elite, reade has persisted with his criticisms of pharmers. He has been one of the leading critics of the welfare pharming system. Bobby Waugh’s Massive Payout - 12.4.2001. “Look at bobby waugh, the northumbrian farmer on whose premises the foot and mouth crisis started. He had been questioned about conditions there before the outbreak, and he is now being questioned by trading standards officers over the state of his pigswill, yet he has just been given £50,000 from the taxpayer to rebuild his business. Where is the national outrage over farmers spreading the disease by “lending sheep” to other farmers to fiddle their compensation claim. Why no questions in the house over army claims that farmers are infecting their flocks with the disease to gain an instant cheque from the taxpayer?”[21] It’s Normal for Subsidized Pharmers to be amongst the Richest people in the Country - 8.11.2001. “Take the just-published pay list 2001 - a breakdown of this year’s 500 top earners. The queen sits proudly at 24 because she was paid £15.2 million for being “establishment”. Which means she “earned” her fortune collecting rent from land, mainly in the north west, passed on to her from her raping and pillaging dark-age ancestors. At number five is another “establishment” earner, earl cadogan, who picked up £50 million because his great-great whatever raped and pillaged chelsea. But this year a new category has entered the charts which says more about people’s genius at taking us for a ride than any of the above - “compensation”. Or to be precise, the £8.3 million british taxpayers handed out to three farmers during the foot and mouth crisis. In at 149 comes dumfries farmer jim goldie, handed £4.2 million. Down at 321 is cumbrian farmer johnny thompson, paid £2.2 million. And at 392 sits fellow cumbrian farmer alan harrison with £1.9 million. Sadly the other 34 farmers given more than £1 million compensation failed to make it into the top 500. Why have there been no police inquiries into claims that some farmers were deliberately infecting their flocks and others were spreading the disease by “lending” animals to neighbours to boost their head count? The chancellor now tells us taxes may have to rise because of the war, but he really needs our cash to plug the £2 billion hole in his budget caused by foot and mouth.”[22] The Rural Exploitation of Urbanites. The Brutish Aristocracy - 30.3.2000. Reade has produced some good criticisms of the rural elite’s exploitation of urbanites. In 1999 he bought a house but found himself having to pay ground rent to a member of brutland’s aristocracy, the marquess of salisbury. The lease that salisbury has drawn up requires the ‘homeowner’ to perform a range of duties e.g. paint the house every three years. Reade quotes from the lease, “If these conditions are not met, the marquess may force you to forfeit the lease.” He goes on to argue, “Ground rent is an obscenity which confronts millions of house buyers .. This is the essence of britishness. A perverse desire to doff our caps as buckets of excreta are dumped from above, while blaming all injustice on those below. The sunday times recently published a list showing the marquess to be britain’s 251st richest man, worth £120 million. The reason for his wealth? Land. The gascoyne estates alone net him more than £2 million every year. That’s a lot of us plebs coughing up £3.90, as he relaxes in his hertfordshire and dorset stately homes. (These lands were originally granted to robert cecil, earl of salisbury (1563-1612) by elizabeth 1st and james 1st. It astonishes me how ordinary people are so bogged down with their penny pinching obsessions that they fail to see the bigger picture. While they worship the royal family and their titled ilk, those people are urinating themselves in private at the loyalty and wealth still lavished on them by medieval bumpkins.”[23] House of Lords - 23.7.98. Reade has been particularly pungent about the house of lords’ veto over brutish democratic life. The house of lords is just a part of the aristocrat’s welfare benefit system, “Forget their bid to sabotage last night’s homosexual age of consent bill and look at something far more important - their trashing of the minimum wage bill. A government elected by us with a massive majority of 179 to carry out reform, only to find it thwarted by an unelected bunch of mainly male, mainly tory, mainly semi-senile, mainly pensioners, given power through the accident of birth or through toadying to prime ministers. A hereditary chamber invented by the aristocracy solely to protect their vested interests, which costs us £38.5 million a year .. where 89% of the 623 hereditary peers take the tory whip. An attendance which could make them eligible for the following expenses: £75.50 overnight subsistence; £33.50 for food and taxis; £32.50 for secretarial assistance. (This daily expense is more than the minimum wage which the lords tried to block) .. the unelected vermin in ermine.”[24] Social Issues. Paedophile After a paedophile murdered a young girl, reade wrote an article about paedophiles’ murders of other young children - after all, he has a young girl of his own. The mirror published the article over a double page spread surrounded by photos of various children murdered by paedophiles.[25] This publicity for the issue gave a huge boost to public expressions of anger about what had previously been seen as the death of a single child. This article was followed up by an article written by a “long serving prison officer” who wrote in support of reade’s views, “Most of them have had a good upbringing and you would be surprised to know many are very well-off.”[26] Rhodes, Duncan (Nexus Magazine). “I am tired of seeing so many vegetarians getting sick all the time, and if you bother to read the article, you will see that it actually HELPS vegetarians stay healthy vegetarians if they wish. We do NOT advocate a meat diet, if asked, we advocate instinctive eating, which in some cases means that fish or meat protein is consumed. No doubt I will get tonnes of emotionally based, uninformed email on the subject, from people who have not bothered to read the article because they ASSUME we are advocating meat eating.”[27] Life Routledge presents himself as a rough, tough, worldly-wise, traditional, hard drinking, no nonsense, reporter for the mirror. He’s a member of the inter-war generation who displays all the attitudes common to that generation. Another major factor about him is that he’s a ruralite .. “when i’m at home in the depths of rural yorkshire ...”[28] Routledge’s ruralism shapes his views about cars, pharmers, Animal exploitation, carnivorism, Fox hunting, and environmentalism - although it does not seem to have influenced his views on the monarchy, pharming subsidies, or gm crops. It is precisely routledge’s ruralism which makes it so difficult for him to become an Animal rightist and to take green issues seriously. The only way people like him are going to be shaken out of their anthropocentric, superiority complexes is if they’re hit in the face by a climate disaster - and the sooner the better. The unusual thing about him is that he isn’t a car driver - although this is not of any political significance to him. Support for Fox Hunting. 13.6.2000. “People are more important than Animals, I fear. If parliamentary time is limited (and it always is) what is more crucial - saving the lives of our people and educating the next generation, or outlawing a sport that is deeply-rooted in the traditions of the countryside. Those who put them there (elect labour mps) to make britain a better place will not quickly forgive them for preferring the fox to the people.”[29] Mcblair continually refuses to accept the wishes of the majority of mps for a ban on Fox hunting and yet it is these mps who are then blamed for wasting parliamentary time on a supposedly irrelevant issue. Bse. Promoting Carnivorism - 24.11.98. Routledge demands the launch of a government funded campaign to encourage people to eat bseef, “Consumers around the world have to be convinced that a slaughter programme that killed more than two million cows, and cost the british taxpayer £4 billion, has finally wiped out mad cow disease.”[30] He appears to be suffering from the early symptoms of bse, hallucinations, believing that one day bse and bse-cjd is going to disappear. The Autumn Bseef - 28.10.99. In the autumn of 1999, brutish pharmers, with the co-operation of the tory government, launched a campaign to force the french government to rescind its ban on the importation of brutish bseef. The pharmers won a huge amount of publicity in the media and widescale public support. The tory party’s ratings in opinion polls soared - the only time they were higher than the labour government since 1997. For nearly three months a huge pharmer-induced wave of protests swept over the labour government without mcblair doing anything to try and stem it even though public opinion polls showed his support was dwindling rapidly. Even worse was that his secretary of state for agriculture, ‘fat chops’ brown, was fanning the pharmers’ campaign which was having such a negative impact on the government’s popularity. Routledge demanded that mcblair prevent the situation from getting out of control, “The beef crisis looks like overwhelming this government - as it did the last one - unless tony blair takes control of the situation. British farmers were supposed to be free to sell beef in europe three months ago. Apart from token roasts served up for propaganda purposes, none has been eaten because of german and french objections. It is outrageous .. .”[31] Routledge loves his bseef. He was appalled that brutish pharmers weren’t allowed to spread a lethal and highly contagious disease around the world. But people around the world have only got to look at brutish euroscepticimea, brutland’s house of lords, the brutish judiciary, the brutish police force, run down third world council housing estates, the behaviour of brutish football supporters, etc, to realize there is something fundamentally disturbing about brutish society. There is not the slightest shred of scientific evidence that brutish bseef or any other meat is free from bse. It really is amazing that pharmers’ propaganda in this country has managed to transform a disease which is more contagious and more lethal than aids into a bug which is less threatening than the common cold. Promoting the Consumption of Illegal Substances - 1.12.1999. The bseefy routledge boasts about his criminal activities over the last couple of years, “What’s all the fuss about? I never stopped eating beef on the bone.”[32] The people demanding an end to the bse-on-the-bone ban were often the same people who decried young people for consuming illegal drugs. Here he is promoting the consumption of an illegal substance whilst denouncing the consumption of other illegal substances. The consumption of drugs is far less of a threat to ooman health than the consumption of bse-on-the-bone. Monarchy. Demands the Abolition of the Monarchy - 10.4.2001. “The monarchy must go.”[33] The Fuel Tax Insurrection. Blaming the Fuel Tax Insurrection on Truckers not Pharmers. Despite his support for cars, routledge did not support the fuel tax protests. However, as a pharming supporter he seemed to be extremely reluctant to pinpoint the fact that pharmers had organized the fuel tax protests. Instead of blaming pharmers he blamed truckers - perhaps he didn’t want to alienate the farmers and the pharming culture in the rural village where he lives. 14.9.2000. .. “the tory truck owners who are trying to starve the nation into submission by unlawfully blockading the nation’s refineries.”[34] 3.11.2000. “Blackjack straw is absolutely right to get tough with the greedy truckers threatening to bring the nation to a standstill yet again. The sickest aspect of the latest truckers’ threat .. demanding that the taxpayer subsidise their business.”[35] Cars and Transport. Support for Road Building - 30.11.99. The bseef loving routledge is a geophysiological ignoramus who supports cars and hates environmentalists. In an article about transport, he started off promisingly enough but then rapidly descended into a politically conventional standpoint, “I have never driven a motor car in my life .. So i sympathized with john prescott in his .. car summit yesterday. He has to try and satisfy the potty environmentalists who don’t like cars or roads and presumably go to work in a horse and carriage. Yesterday, prezza came down on the right side. He promised to restore many of the road relief schemes scrapped by new labour after they took office. Equally, when i’m at home in the depths of rural yorkshire, i want to be able to get about in the family car. That means i was glad of the keighley by-pass .. If prezza has any trouble on the project with tree-protestors he should hand me the electric saw.”[36] It’s interesting that routledge can threaten environmentalists with electric saws and yet if an environmentalist, or even worse, an Animal rightist, threatened him with one he’d be screaming terrorist, call in the secret police, and have them locked up for a lengthy period of time. If ever routledge needs to be pushed over the edge of cliff because life isn’t quite so good with holes in his brain, the mundi club would be pleased to oblige. Pharmers and Pharming. Gm Crops - 17.2.99. Quite surprisingly for a pharmer loving, ruralite, he takes a rather greenish line over genetically modified crops, “Maybe we have nothing to fear (from GM foods). I’d be happier if i didn’t know ministers have met the food industry bosses 81 times since the election to talk about selling gm foods.”[37] You can tell he’s not really up with the most obvious ideas in the Animal exploitation industry because it doesn’t seem to have dawned on him that many of the corpses he eats have come from Animals fed on genetically modified food. Oomans might be able to protest about the food they eat i.e. gm crops, but livestock can’t. Demanding an End to Pharming Subsidies - 31.8.2001. “Foot and mouth is set to cost £1.5billion in compensation for slaughtered animals and the clean up of farms. But maybe it will be worth it if it signals a gradual end to the monster subsidies paid to farmers.”[38] Opposition to Animal Rights. Barry Horne - 3.12.98. Routledge is completely flummoxed by Animal rightists. He just can’t understand people who object to Animals being treated like lumps of meat. He launched into a rant about barry horne although even he was forced to admit, “An 18 year stretch does seem harsh.”[39] Horne gets 18 years for protecting Animals whilst paedophiles who molest dozens/hundreds of young children are given derisory prison sentences and are given early release so they can molest even more children. We all know that this country’s public school system produces a huge proportion of paedophiles who end up as mps, judges, police officers, probation workers, etc. Most of them are probably freemasons as well. Demands for a Ban on ALF - 1.9.2000. Routledge launched another rant against the Animal Liberation Front in order to prepare public opinion for jack straw’s bill against Animal rights protestors, “Home secretary jack straw is considering changes in the law to crack down on animal rights extremists. My only question is: “What took him so long?” These urban terrorists exploit british sentimentality towards animals to justify their criminal behaviour. A report to ministers shows that there were 1,200 animal rights attacks last year - almost three a day - causing £2.6 million worth of damage. Last weekend, these nutters firebombed the cars of five science lab workers outside their homes. These are decent, law abiding men and women working to produce medicines for the benefit of society. (More likely the profits of multi-national pharmaceutical companies who, when they manufacture drugs that damage ooman health can’t be sued because they’re protected by the law and the political mps they’ve bought off). They have a right to carry on their working and private lives without the fear of physical attack. Straw should consider a ban on the Animal Liberation Front, if it can be proved that its objective is to break the law. Whatever Animal rights these obsessives claim to believe in, they certainly do not extend as far as homo sapiens. There are no people’s Rights in their twisted minds. So, come on jack, get ‘em sorted.”[40] So let’s get this clear. Routledge has publicly admitted to engaging in sustained criminal activities by consuming an illegal substance and has threatened to use electric saws on environmentalists protesting against the building of roads. He then demands that jack straw takes action against people seeking to expose Animal torturers. Jack straw is the home secretary who can’t find the time for a bill to ban Fox hunting because the landowning elite in the lords has an aristocratic veto over the so-called democratic process in this country. But he’s going to make time for a bill against people defending Animals because this is what the aristocratic, rural, Animal abusers in the house of lords want. The labour government gives equal weight to the views of the house of lords in its opposition to Fox hunting as it does to the views of its own supporters in the house of commons. Doesn’t this tend to suggest that the democratic process in this country is just a meaningless charade? Social Issues. On Auberon Waugh - 24.11.98. The mirror printed an article trying to understand why sales of the black-top newspapers have been falling dramatically in the late 1990s, “One analyst explained: “Some of them still employ irrelevantly fatuous old dodderers like auberon waugh. I mean what hope is there for them?”[41] It has to be wondered how the mirror survives with journalists like routledge, jilly palmer, and sue carroll. Opposition to Child Benefit and other Welfare Benefits for the Rich - 1.6.2001. Most labour mps are welfare generalists who support the idea of giving the same benefit to all people irrespective of their income. Routledge is one of the few who opposes such a view even though it means that the poor have to be means tested, “The welfare state was designed to be a safety net for those in or out of work who cannot make ends meet - not a free lunch counter for well-off parents. There is no valid reason for not taxing, or means testing this (child) benefit.”[42] Political Issues. Parliamentary Corruption. “Let’s be frank. Parliament is pretty corrupt. Elizabeth filkin, who has the tenacity of a yorkshire terrier, has investigated every allegation of corruption scrupulously, but fairly. And her dogged inquiries led to the resignation of scotland’s first minister, henry mcleish, last month. That’s why she had to go. So now they want to downgrade her job, and deprive the luckless successor of the time and resources to keep tabs on mps. The new sleaze buster will be chosen by a secretive, unelected parliamentary commission chaired by speaker michael martin.”[43] Believes that People ought to have the right to eat Bseef which has killed 116 people but not to Smoke a Joint which hasn’t killed anyone since it first appeared on Earth. The fox-hunting, bseef-eating, scruton protested about government regulations imposed on pharmers, “And that is how we should see the attack on unpasteurised milk. The Ministry of Agriculture proposed to ban it, for the simple reason that some boffin has discovered microbes that could, perhaps, cause intestinal disorders. This is true: but it is also true of all other sources of animal protein, and unpasteurised milk is at the bottom of the list of offenders. And if people wish to take the risk, why should they be prevented? By what reasoning does the State acquire the right to ban a source of food, on the production of which many people depend for their livelihood, just because there is a possible world in which someone is made ill by it? There is only one reasonable response: Ban Everything.”[44] The argument that ‘if people wish to take the risk, why should they be prevented’ could be used to support the legalization of cannabis. It’s amazing that the tories (both conservative and labour) support a ban on Cannabis but oppose bans on bse ridden corpses. It is difficult finding a more striking contrast exposing the sheer bloody-minded, stupidity of the politically conventional mind-set. Controls over the Importation of Food: Crackpot Pharmers turning Yoghurts into Contraband. Shortly after the brutish government’s announcement of the first 10 bse-cjd victims in march 1996, the european community banned the export of brutish bseef and a range of bseef products. Bseef products are added to tens of thousands of products so preventing the export of such products would have been a daunting task. David sells presented a report on ‘newsnight’ ridiculing the ban because of such complexities. He sarcastically asked whether everyone going abroad would have to be searched for carrying minuscule traces of gelatin in toothpaste or cubes of bovril. However, the history of the Animal exploitation industry is that Animals always bite back. When the appallingly unhygienic pharming industry eventually triggered off the foot and mouth epidemic in february 2001, a huge range of countries had to ban the importation of brutish products in case they triggered off f&m. Most countries banned brutish people from taking food with them when going abroad, “Yoghurts and sausage rolls became contraband goods, in effect, yesterday as strict procedures were introduced for people travelling from Britain to the Continent and the Republic of Ireland because of foot-and-mouth disease.”[45] The last thing that could be expected from sells, and the rest of the pharmer-loving bigots on the newsnight team, was any ridicule for the measures taken against exporting f&m. “The Meat and Livestock Commission have a £20 million advertising budget. .. in the present climate of consumer anxiety about the health of red meat. The ‘recipe for love’ commercials have a budget of £7m. Ned Sherrin who was brought up on farms said that slaughtering animals is part of the rich tapestry of life.”[46] The inter-war generation to which ned sherrin belongs is slowly dying out and taking with them their ruralist views. Sherrin’s views are no different from those of alan ‘bluffy’ corin, the doddering auberon waugh, or margaret thatcher. “This may look like alicia silverstone in a typical glamour shoot but she’s actually helping fight the war against osama bin laden. The terrorist funds his crimes by selling leather jackets to british and us shoppers through a tannery in the sudan. And by posing in fake leather, movie star alicia wants to stop people wearing the real thing and cut off bin laden’s funding. A spokesman for pressure group peta said, “Consumers may unknowingly be supporting bin laden’s terrorist activities. Peta has documents proving bin laden owns a tannery, near khartoum in the sudan. Alicia’s spokesman said, “Campaigning against leather is what she believes in.”[47] Bse in Blood - 26.2.1998. John snow is one of the most respected news journalists on terrestrial television and yet he didn’t get around to asking whether bse might be present in Cattle blood, thus requiring a complete ban on bseef, until thursday february 26th 1998. Snow’s Meaty Integrity - 27.2.1998. News of the ooman blood ban is carried by channel four news. Snow asked one of his interviewees whether, since bse-cjd is in ooman blood, there is any chance that bse might be found in Cattle blood. The line taken by the scientist was that even if bse is in Cattle blood it doesn’t matter because oomans won’t absorb the disease when they eat meat - there is a far higher risk of getting bse by injecting Cattle blood products directly into oomans’ bloodstream. Since it is becoming more and more untenable for the bseef elite to deny that bse is in Cattle blood the next best thing the elite can do to protect their pharming interests is to belittle the threat posed by bse in blood. Snow begins to wind up the interview and even asks whether bse in Cattle blood implies there is likely to be maternal transmission of bse. There is very little public anxiety about a possible ban on ooman blood since the public seems increasingly unconcerned about the spread of the disease. Pharmers still Illegally dumping Bse Infected Cattle - 1.6.1998. Channel four news gives an update into its investigation of pharmers’ illegal dumping of bse-infected livestock. Channel four has discovered at least 20 open pits in the north of england and scotland. When snow interviewed jack cunningham the line of questioning he pursued wasn’t ‘how awful that pharmers were behaving illegally and irresponsibly’ but ‘how bad the government was for not offering pharmers yet more subsidies to have their livestock disposed of properly’. Support for the end of the ban on Bseef Exports - 9.6.98. In june 1998 the european commission announced that it intended to recommend the lifting of the ban on brutish bseef - subject to strict conditions being put in place. On channel 4 news john snow, a carnivore, greets the news with his usual journalistic impartiality, “A tremendous achievement.”[48] This newsreader treats the news like a val doonican fireside chat amongst the country’s throat slitting, blood sucking, mass murdering, eco-nazis. Such is the scale of ignorance prevailing in the media that even one of the most intelligent journalists in the business doesn’t seem to have any idea about the major causes of global burning. ‘John Snow Looks at the Bseef Issue’ - 8.10.2000. Dealler reports on john snow’s television programme about bse, “The first program in the month about how experts in the field were not asked for their opinion, experts when asked seem to have prevented information from getting through, politicians made decisions apparently without data to make them, senior civil servants were pressurised to make misleading public statements to the press and public, and inadequate research took place. Various people came out as being particularly poor: Richard Kimberlin was put over as not giving data to the Tyrrell Committee even though he had already given it to the pet food industry. Sir Donald Acheson is interviewed as saying that he definitely did not think that beef was safe ... and then a TV interview at the time is shown in which he makes its safety clear. The program basically shows how 'the Conservative Government, the meat industry and the civil service colluded to convince the public' that all was safe. There was a lot more data that did not get shown in the program and it is expected that further programs will appear later in the month.[49] These days, television programmes about bse are rare. Life. Sting’s a pop star. Sometime in the mid 1990s one of his agents ran off with rather a large amount of his money so he’s been a bit skint in the millionaire’s club of late. A glossy, coffee-table, book could be written about Sting’s somewhat idiosyncratic support for green politics. Advertisement for Seagaia - 28.5.1995. In 1995 it was reported that, "Tree-loving superstar Sting has been paid a reported £500,000 .. to advertise a resort where constructors chopped down 100,000 pines. The star, who has campaigned to save the Amazon rainforest, is helping to promote the 150 acre Seagaia resort in Japan. The £1.6 billion complex was built in the middle of a pine forest where some trees were more than 200 years old."[50] Soundtrack for Rover - 1999. In 1999 he licensed the use of his song 'An Englishman in New York' as the sound track for a rover car advert. Soundtrack for Rover - 27.8.2000. In 2000 he went one better by making a personal appearance in a car advert for Jaguar S Type cars. He also provided the sound track - presumably from an album he must have released.[51] The advertisement also features the name of the sting’s song being used on the advert - it was difficult making out the text. It seemed to be something like, ‘bankrupt green poser bring discredit to the green movement’. Environmentalism in Film Career - 29.12.2000. “The plot for the emperor’s new groove ended with the emperor building a theme park in the heart of the south american rainforest. Only when the ending was revised to allow the young emperor to learn new values did sting agree to continue making the emperor’s new groove.”[52] Contributing to Global Pollution through his Private Jet. “Star sting was recovering last night after his private jet careered off the end of the runway after landing.”[53] Another Soundtrack for Rover - 25.2.2002. “Sting received payment in kind from jaguar after filming his famous tv advert for the S-type jag. In return, the car firm met the costs of his video for his single, Desert rose, shot in nevada.”[54] It is believed that francine stock wrote ‘Scare Stories’ a part of an anti green trend which reared up during the late 1990s. The following quote gives a flavour of the programme, “If the Planet gets greener, which it is, as a result of what people are doing, is this (global warming) the serious problem that the political process believes that it is?”[55] “Giving up smoking or drinking is probably a more certain way of protecting your health than giving up the sunday roast.”[56] This might be the case in terms of ooman health during a period when the damage that the Animal exploitation industry is inflicting on the Earth’s life support system has not yet become noticeable. Of course, once the Earth’s climate has been destabilized then the serious damage to ooman health of eating meat will become transparent. The big advantage of giving up meat is that people not merely do something to protect their health they also do something dramatic to protect the health of the Earth. Anthony tucker highlights prusiner’s views on bse in Cattle because of his own scepticism, “A few weeks ago, in evidence to the bse inquiry, the Nobel Laureate Stan Prusiner, originator of the infectious prion protein hypothesis of bse and similar diseases, said that he could not understand the statistical argument underlying the British claim that the small number of cases of new variant cjd are a human form of bse.”[57] Waugh issued a sterling defence of the 1998 countryside march in london, “The (countryside) march is to protect hunting, to warn town dwellers to keep their distance.”[58] Hardly surprising then that his views of global burning border on the lunatic, “Auberon waugh could write in 1991 that ‘nobody in a position to know is in the least bit impressed by all this twaddle about Carbon dioxide or global warming .. ”[59] Support for Fuel Tax Protestors - 3.11.2000. Willson writes the mirror’s motorist page and, not surprisingly, supported the september 2001 fool tax protestors. He speculated about the follow-up protests planned for early november, “Never box yourself into a corner is the first rule of negotiation. Yet that’s exactly what this government has done over the petrol crisis. But the reason why the november 13th deadline set by the petrol lobby will get very messy is the government’s heavy handed threat that they’ll call in the army. I believe it’s called martial law. It’s scandalous that the situation has been allowed to degenerate into open war. By steadfastly ignoring the cri de coeur of 25 million motorists, labour has disaffected half of the electorate. We’re sick of the litany of excuses. So, as a motoring majority, what do we want?? .. an undertaking that the government will use its considerable budget surplus to cushion us against further price rises. As for november 13, i think we should still make our presence felt, peacefully and quietly. If enough people turn out - hundreds of thousands - maybe blair and brown will get the message. Perhaps then they’ll understand that the bullied and browbeaten motorist has had enough.”[60] In the midst of the country’s biggest floods seen in many a century, willson reveals motorists’ ecocidal tendencies. There is not the slightest bit of geophysiological understanding in this lunatic’s demands. No wonder the country is in a state of geophysiological bankruptcy when there are millions verbal and vehicular incinerators like him around. Perhaps a further example of the depth of his stupidity is in order. Willson’s biggest contribution to motorists’ propaganda occurred after he visited oxford for the first time in his life and, even though he was only in the city for a couple of hours, complained about the city council’s plans to ban cars from the city centre. His complaints doubtlessly cheered up many panzer-driving motorists angered by the prospect of losing their right to pollute the city centre but he then pissed in his chips by complaining there wasn’t any room for cars in the city centre because ......... it was clogged up with buses! Surprisingly, he didn’t demand that buses, rather than cars, should be banned from the city centre. What is it possible to do with morons like this????? The bloke ought to be in an insane asylum. Demands for more Subsidies for Motorists - 13.10.2000. Quentin willson is doing his best to stoke up public support for the second fuel tax insurrection, “It’s official. Uk motorists are the most legislated against and heavily taxed group in europe. The latest body blow to the car owners wallet is a 50% hike in motoring fines from november 1st. From parking tickets alone, the treasury common fund is swollen by over £3 billion a year. Last year our 52 police forces handed out close to a million speeding fines.”[61] Breaking Speed Limits is a Technicality - 29.12.2000. “To prosecute drivers doing 75mph in a 70mph limit isn’t punishing an act of irresponsibility, it’s enforcing a procedural technicality. The country has the safest roads in europe but the normally law-abiding motoring population are being cast as psychotic criminals, temperamentally unfit to control anything larger than an electric razor.”[62] Once again he ignores the environmental consequences of the views he’s espousing. Stirring up motorists against speed restrictions - 29.6.2001. “Unless steps are taken to reassure motorists that they’re not being turned into mobile cash machines and that the police aren’t just legalised highway robbers, we could see a level of public unrest that would make the recent fuel rebellion seem like a drop in an ocean.”[63] “But u.s. vogue editor anna wintour attended the (valentino) show wearing a huge grey fur coat, giving the trend her seal of approval.”[64] The country's intelligentsia barely noticed the bse issue, let alone denounced the government and the pharming industry for spreading the disease, but then most of them are spongy-brained carnivores. Young didn't seem to show much interest in the announcement of the bse-cjd fatalities. He didn't seem to be in the least bit perturbed by the government's incessant lies in defence of the livestock industry, nor by the appalling mass destruction of Cattle, let alone the destruction of the Earth's life support system by the Animal exploitation industry. What concerned this oomano-imperialist bigot was the survival of a piddling number of ooman eggs which vivisectors had been chopping up in their laboratories but which were too small to be fried and served with chips in a greasy cafe, "This is a day that should not be diminished. Something of moment is happening that has not happened before. The mass destruction of human embryos under supervision of an agency of the state, is a milestone in the affairs of men, women and children. Let it pass by, and we conspire in the normalizing of organized death."[65] For this windowless, air-conditioned, debeaked, factory pharm, writer the slaughter of millions of real, living, breathing, Animals is nothing in comparison to the slaughter of invisible, ooman embryos. There could hardly be a clearer example of the moral vacuity and irrelevance of the brutish intelligentsia concerning life on this Planet. Some years later young wrote an article about bse, “Sending ministers to jail for gross policy disasters is an attractive option, seldom if ever implemented. What touches the real lives of voters are the public errors of public people, for which society would like to demand the personal vengeance that never seems to be available. Some years ago France, of all countries, positioned itself to nullify this infuriating immunity. It got ready to indict and jail former ministers for the errors that led to hiv-contaminated blood being given to haemophiliacs and hospital patients, as a result of which more than 4,000 people were infected, of whom about 1,000 have died. The concept of ministerial responsibility for departmental events was invested with the harsh meaning it deserves. This was, admittedly, an extreme case. A thousand coffins are themselves political. But there are pre-echoes of the bse scandal in Britain, which received a different response. Even 1,000 coffins, one suspects, would in Britain be buried effortlessly under the mound of systemic failure rather than personal culpability which is and always has been the whitehall way of deflecting blame. In the case of bse, if the French model were adopted, John MacGregor and Kenneth Clarke, respectively agriculture and health ministers in early 1989, would be in the dock. This was when the effect of feeding recycled animal remains to cows was incontestably established as the cause of bse, though the suspicion was there much earlier, in 1985, from which date the names of Jopling and Fowler might surface as parallel culprits. At neither point was the full extent of scientific pessimism taken on board by the politicians. A bovine offal ban was delayed until later in 1989, and the effect of bse as a cause of human variant cjd, though again canvassed by scientists, was discounted by ministers for many more years. Behind these underlings sat Margaret Thatcher, the Laurent Fabius of her place and day, and the embodiment of the political context in which the bse disaster was allowed to start. For the Fabian deformity of anti-Americanism, read the thatcherite pride in bonfires of red tape. It was a time when de-regulation ruled. On close calls, neither agriculture nor health could have afforded to show a bias in favour of action that would hit animal-feed merchants or intensify inspection regimes. This was the free-market revolution. It meant that even when animal feed was controlled, the policing was cursory and bse made its fatal way ever deeper into the human food chain, as a result of which, at last count, 32 people have died. The idea of putting Thatcher in a court-room dock, for the bse fatalities in which her policies had at least some causative role, would be an unimaginable affront to the British mind-set.”[66] |
