Guest guest Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 My previous reply seems to have gone missing - I wonder if I've been censured?! Anway, my point was that this shows Blair's true colours. He argues that he is just protecting legitimate business. But who decides what is legitimate? If you look back in history you will find periods where oppression based on peoples sex, race etc was considered " legitimate " and still is in certain countries. The problem is that the politicians are not listening to the people (polls have shown the public to be against vivisection), so what else can people do but protest. And with governments that pander to business for fear of losing jobs etc, while everyday the abuse continues, no wonder sometimes " extreme " actions are taken. My wish is that soon we will all regard the protestors as heroes (just as we now regard Nelson Mandela as a hero for his fight against Apartheid - another government's policy). And listening to Lord Sainsbury looking so smug on TV has made me feel sick. How can we let this excuse for a human decide our food and science policy when he has such vested interests!?
