Space Bars and how Barry Horne save my life

[Guest guest]

just found a nice little new savoury snack emblazoned with the legend "

Vegan and Bio " call Space Bar by Topas in Germany. get your local wholefood

shop to stock them now.

 

I'll always grouch about the quality of most vegan and wholefood snack that

are all too often more like punishment than nourishment and the fact that

there are so few savoury snakcs in comparison to sweeties is something else

that pees me off. I just don¹t want to eat sweeties all day. I am an adult.

 

this is not bad at all, kind of like a vegan equivalent to beef jerky or

those long thin sausages you get from Italy etc. seitan, hemp, some spices

and hemp seeds, onion and yeast extract. well that may not sound that

exciting but it ends up a nice chewy little vit B bar that does not bloat

you all up..

or otherwise, ' co-opted by the " establishment " ' so as not to continue to

be radical and a threat to the status quo. vis-à-vis Honor problems with her

local animal protection society.

 

I am not a great conspiracy theoretian, and lean far more to putting these

things down to social entropy, the lazy collective psychology of human

beings and their resistance to real and fundamental changes in general, but

big changes take radicalism. it always seems that we need the Berserkers

first off the boat to break the beachhead and this is where the likes of

Barry Horne fit in.

 

I don't know the history of the RSPCA but I bet the odd activist was duffed

up in local farmyards or pilloried in slaughterhouses. and I don¹t know how

much more than a salve on the conscience of little old ladies and the middle

classes the RSPCA is. I'll wait until it comes out about vegetarianism

before give it any great respect. " more gravy with your lamb, vicar? " ...

at the committees monthly do et al.

 

what is the breakdown of folks killed and injured by the opposition to

animal rights movement and folks actually killed and injured by the animal

rights movement? I cant think of any that have been killed by AR, although

the guy from Huntingdon did have his head cut [ poor thing ]. on the other

hand, I can think a more than a few that have been hurt by the opposition,

that Jill from the live export demo being the first actual death.

 

at least you are climbing down from your pejorative " firebomber " libel,

doctor. I just wish that you could prove me wrong that taking the

establishment's side and the establishment's route actually made things

happen faster.

 

personally, I don¹t do violence against the property of animal abuses but I

would not put down those that do. there is a clear difference between the

strategy of deliberate economic damage against offenders and plain arson.
