By way of a postscript to the Animal rights thread,....by Michael Evans defence editor of The Times.

EXTREMIST ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS POSE MAIN THREAT TO ECONOMY.

Michael Evans' article in todays Times, reinforces my opinion given in the recent "Animal rights" thread, about the future of protest in the UK.



"Animal rights terrorists in the UK, could do as much harm as a single Al Qaeda terrorist attack".
"At stake is an annual investment of £16 billion in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology research and development industries.
Three large companies investing in Britian, have already revealed their fears about " persistant intimidation".

"I suppose a terrorist attack in London might cause damage of up to £16 billion, but with animal rights extremism, were talking of losing £16 billion of investment every year"
The report indicated that Animal rights "extremism" was going to become a growing threat over the next 12 months.
Single issue terrorism and animal rights extremism will grow, with more ambitious and strategic targets......and there are fascinating parallels between the economic agenda of Al Qaeda, and Animal rights extremist networks".


As I have said before, the gloves are off at last on the "War on Capitalism".....Ake
