and? what happened?

We don't want the lab in Camden and we don't want YOU!

25.04.2010 07:59

One of the main reasons Camden residents don't want the lab is that we do not want these campaigners here.
Mukul Hira local [Halal butcher] resident was told by AR that there is "no room" for him in this campaign. AR should hang their heads in shame!
This man was one of those who started this campaign against the lab and was told he cannot campaign by AR people.
"Don't antagonise the residents" your leaflets say? Too late.
Most of the people on the Somers Town estate are Bengali and Mukul Hira is seen as a community leader and is liked, respected and looked up to by everyone here.

To the AR invaders :
F**k off out of OUR town! You have antagonised many of us and we don't want you here.

Poverty in Camden

25.04.2010 11:21

Residents campaigners are mostly living here in poverty and are just trying to get something for local people. Most people here are not interested in animal rights, they are not vegetarians and we do not like the way you animal rights have treated local people. The way Mukul Hira has been spoken of by animal rights people is disgusting. Many of the Animal Rights people are racist and from the BNP.

To animal rights people, be warned, Somers Town is our town not yours.

Do you animal rights people want the lab or not? Who are you to tell local people that there is "no room" for them to campaign? We are not going to join your animal rights campaign, we don't want you on Somers Town and we don't want you talking to our children. You have attacked local resident campaigners and you are causing trouble here. We do not want this lab but we do not want you at all.

Mandy, we support your local community campaign but clearly we are going to protest as well. We can disagree but we ain't going to fuck off.

If one AR campaigners said that there is no room for someone in your community campaign they were clearly wrong to do so, this is not the view of most AR people.

This is a view shared by a number of tenants and the constant attacks on particular people just makes things worse.

Both Muku Hira and Mandy Ford have been abused by people over the Camden residents campaign. You've picked on Mandy over the lab and picking on Mukul Hira is making things even worse or maybe you don't think so seeing as he is a butcher? He was at one of the original protests and held the original meetings with other people mostly from the UAF...who were all backing the campaign including the AR campaign until the bullying of Mukul Hira and Mandy Ford started. If "just one person" was responsble for this then you should be telling THEM rather than keep having a go at Mandy Ford or Mukul Hira. For the record Candy Udwin's, Mukul Hira's and Mandy Ford's main concern over the lab are community ones shared by residents, in particular how this will affect Muslims living nearby to the lab who get accused of being terror suspects ...the lab will make things worse for the community. Picking on Mukul Hira has not helped the AR case for campaigning with residents who live here.

At a residents meeting resident group campaigners from the Green Party and other groups voiced concerns over the AR campaign, it was said by residents [not Mandy Ford in fact] that they did not want the lab because of AR campaigners who have been bullying residents so you might find that several people have been picked on by more than one person and there have been attempts to muscle people out of the campaign which has to stop.

Mandy, everyone is entitled to their views. The animal rights campaign will continue and I'm sure the community one will as well. There will be differences between the two but I see no need for animosity.

We both don't want the lab and I accept that part of your reason maybe not wanting AR activists on your doorstep (which will be an inevitable consequence of the lab being built). However at this time we have a common goal – to ensure the lab is never built. Fighting each other will make it more likely that the lab will be built.

Community campaigners need to decide what is more important fighting AR or fighting the lab.

in your last sentence about community leaders needing to consider what is most important you reveal more about yourself than perhaps you realise. why place all of the responsibility on others, to unite the campaign against the lab? if you believe in animal rights and want to further cause as well as prevent the lab YOU need to work to unite groups and individuals in camden not keep telling others to do so. people will have animosity towards the AR crowd as long as members of the AR crowd behave as badly as they have been doing in camden. to put a stop to the animosity towards the AR crowd requires a change in attitude and behaviour from the AR crowd, not a blaming of everybody else for not liking their bad behaviour.

I don't know anything about what any AR people have done - I am only one person and can't speak for others or tell them what to do.

I don't have any time for anyone AR or otherwise that is fighting each other rather than the lab. It's not a matter of uniting, it's a matter of respecting differances and getting on with our own thing - any AR or local campaigner not doing that is making the lab more likely.

People fighting from either camp are wrong. I am sorry for any wrong doing from the AR side.

As an animal rights activist I would not want to have anything to do with a halal butcher irrespective of having a common goal. Halal butchers for the chop!!

Re : "Both sides are wrong". You should not attack Camden's Muslims

27.04.2010 13:45

When people are under attack they defend themselves. Defending yourself isn't wrong. Camden residents have come under attack from AR activists and this isn't confined to just one or two people. Several residents have spoken out about being bullied by AR.

As for P Beaven, your comment is an attack on all of and each of Camden's Muslims.

Er, no, it's an attack on all and each of Camden's butchers. Whether they are halal or not is irrelevant, they are still part of the system that murders animals.

Surely non-AR campaigners against the lab should WELCOME nutty AR extremists being involved, since one of their arguments against the lab is that it will attract nutty AR extremists to the area!?

Nutty anti viv butchers and nutty AR activists are better in synergy.

The combination of nutty butchers and nutty AR extemists is great and should be encouraged.

Re : "How boring" and being racially abused and abused for being a Muslim ...

29.04.2010 12:22

Being abused because of your religion or being racially abused etc isn't a "boring" subject for those on the receiving end.
The Islamaphobic attacks originated from the animal rights group the Camden Sanity Brigade. Joe Doyle from the Camden Sanity Brigade and Frametastic is responsible for this with others and they are giving AR a bad name. The CSB are Islamaphobic.
Racial and religious abuse includes violence and is never boring. It is disgusting.
Animal rights people should know that Islam is one of the oldest religions and is one of the first religions to stop cruelty to animals. Islam says that it is wrong to cause fear, pain or suffering in animals.
If animal rights people are against racism and Islamaphobic abuse then make sure that the BNP, NF, Camden Sanity Brigade, Phil Beaven and other Islamaphobic animal rights people are prevented from influencing your groups against Muslims.

Simple fact. Ihave no anti Islamic prejudices. Some onthe other hand have shown total Nti Irish fascism in the rumours they have tried to start . I have been accused of terrorism and violence......there is not one factual shred of truth to any of this!!

Leaflets made by Joe Doyle regarding links to Tracy Morgans blog

21.05.2010 18:37

Leaflets created by Joe Doyle and distributed in Camden contain links to a blog, the Camden Danger Lab blogspot created by Tracy Morgan, a Camden resident.
Joe Doyle is not and has never been connected to Camden Danger Lab or Tracy Morgan and the leaflets and implied links should be ignored.
