A colourful vibrant scene greeted tourists, shoppers and class ridden university officials in Cambridge today. Around 1000 protesters called for the end of plans to build Europes largest Primate research Laboratory in Cambridge.
Mr Prescott has had a tough week after Animal Aid launched a high court injunction against the proposed development.
The demonstration has attracted a wide spectrum of people against the proposed lab. Young and old joined the protest with anger directed at Mr Prescott, Tony Blair and the 'academic snobness' of university officials.
The local police and council have objected to the lab and a recent planning aplication that was turned down by Cambridge County Council has been overturned by Mr Prescott.
Cambridge University and Mr prescott are now feeling the pressure as the anti vivisection movement are gathering pace and increased national media attention.
More direct action is planned for the future say campaigners.
