The recent sentencing of our friend Sean Kirtley to 4.5 years with conditions on release says much about the views of the police, the prosecutor Lockhart and the odious creep of a judge Ross. They obviously believe that the crime of holding a banner is worse than maiming someone for life. Many child rapists will serve less time, in fact someone who batters a pensioner to death if they plead guilty to manslaughter because for instance they were angry will walk out of prison before Sean. Ross and Lockhart clearly intimate that they think that killing and raping are lesser crimes than holding a banner outside a lab.They really are repugnant little men but we cordially invite (cos we are really nice) them (and everyone else) to a little picnic at West Mercia Police HQ Worcester on Wednesday 4th June at 13.00. We thought that as Lockhart was going to be there anyway telling the police how heretical we are and how we criticise the poor vivisectors and how we should be interned he might appreciate the gesture.

Not wishing Sequani to feel left out we are going there Thursday morning at 07.00 and again 12.00 Sunday 8th June. It is in Ledbury near the train station. Please bring anti SOCPA banners if you have them
