Even more about Gladys Hammond !
Had the government acted as they pledged they would if they won the election there would be less need for protest. They regularly boast how Britain “has the most stringent rules on animal welfare in the world” but do absolutely nothing when animal cruelty is exposed. When the ALF video showed the horrific conditions in which guinea-pigs were kept at Darley Oaks Farm (although making them aware of the cruelty) the Queen (whose land the farm is on) the government the RSPCA, Michael Fabricant MP, Janet Dean MP and the Staffordshire police did absolutely nothing. In fact Fabricant , the police and the Burton Mail (who had been given a copy of the video, but conveniently lost it) suggested the video was “a fake” while John Hall admitted that “it was genuine”! So why wasn't the Hall family prosecuted for causing unnecessary suffering to animals, especially when Detective Sergeant John Bloor stood by and watched Chris Hall break the necks of 1500 guinea-pigs after the liberation of the 600!? This makes it abundantly clear that the government will allow people to abuse animals yet will use every despicable method it can concoct to suppress those who have the morals and guts to oppose animal cruelty!
The government also insists one “has the right to protest” then orders the police to use violence to stop you. They have made it obvious the only ones they will allow to break the law with impunity are themselves, the police the multi-nationals, in fact anyone who will give them money. The BBC have also tried to discredit animal rights campaigners by deliberately lying about them in one of their “Crimewatch Solved” programmes despite Director General Mark Thompson having assured viewers he “would weed out any deceit contained in BBC programmes”. He has refused to take any action regarding the relevant “Crimewatch Solved” programme as have the television regulator Ofcom, yet if I witheld my license fee in protest at their lies, I would more than likely be jailed for “conspiracy to blackmail” !
The tabloids, with the help of the Staffordshire police incited the public to media hysteria regarding Gladys Hammond. I imagine those arrested for the grave-theft were greatly relieved that public lynching had been consigned to the history books! Many journalists who doubted the story of Gladys Hammond were eager to investigate it but were quickly told by their cowardly editors that the story would be “too risky”. Four years later public opinion has changed dramatically regarding Gladys Hammond. It is clear that those who have the ability to think for themselves have realised how impossible it would have been for protesters to steal Gladys without anyone hearing the digging, and that the responsibility for the grave-theft lies with the “interested parties” who devised a vile but (I'm loathe to admit) an ingenious hoax in order to lend weight to the pending High Court Injunction to ban all protests at the guinea-pig farm and to discredit a well supported campaign. Despite the suggestion of unknown villager Peter Clamp (who attempted to influence the judge by declaring himself Yoxall's 'knight in shining armour') that the villagers were “living in fear of the protesters” - the very same villagers who blasted their horns and waved their support when passing the protest every Sunday.
Would the government involve itself in such nefarious conduct ? What a silly question ! Tony Blair's government has to be the most corrupt ever. Blair had more masters than Casanova had mistresses. He was summoned by GSK, Novartis and other drug companies and and given an ultimatum to sort out animal rights activists or they would quit Britain. This resulted in the formation of NETCU, a fascist style bunch of thugs set up by the government to “deal” with the animal rights movement, the pressure group Blair had vowed to eradicate. They purged the movement of who they considered to be “leaders”remanding them for months before selected judges (who enjoyed killing animals) presided over them. One judge banned damning evidence of animal cruelty from being shown to the jury. He banned the press and attempted (but failed) to ban the public from the gallery.
At another hearing the state's evidence was “suspicious” to say the least with it being nigh on impossible for those charged to have committed the alleged crimes as they had been followed twenty four hours a day seven days a week by the police. Juries were also 'guided' to reach guilty verdicts and the sentences imposed were lengthier than those of murderers, paedophiles and rapists. One judge refused to recuse himself from the case when his bias was challenged.
There is no doubt that the government, the vivisection industry the CIA and FBI (who have taken a disturbing interest and interference in Britain's animal rights movement) the Hall family, Timothy Lawson-Cruttendon the Staffordshire police and the vicar of Yoxall know exactly who dug Gladys Hammond up and it most certainly wasn't protesters ! Imagine - when the 84 year old spotted the “disturbed grave” the local police were alerted and swiftly erected a marquee over the grave - a team of 'state officials' then dug Gladys up and placed her on consecrated ground in the church crypt (a condition of the hoax) and there she lay until 2006 - the police press office fed the media lies and conjecture etc. adding all manner of crimes which anyone could have done (if they were done at all) to incite the public fervour. The media were slavering at the mouth having realised such an horrific and sensational story would massively increase the sale of their product and willingly printed anything the police told them to print, totally ignoring the newspaper industry code of ethics which maintains “newspapers should establish the facts as opposed to fabricating supposition”
If the protesters thought that by digging up Gladys Hammond's body they would encourage the Halls to close the guinea-pig farm why would they wait four years to do it, and would they take the risk when a High Court Injunction was waiting round the corner ?
Finally - is it possible the reason Janet Palmer has become estranged from the Halls is that she found out the evil way they had “used” her mother to stop the protests ? Despite supposedly being deeply upset regarding the “theft” of Gladys, and that the return of her body was allegedly offered if they closed the farm, it was only when their much sought after Injunction failed that the Halls finally decided to stop breeding guinea-pigs for vivisection.

Poor Mrs Hammond
03.03.2009 08:52
If someone did take the body I do have a moral problem with it personally as it is simply not decent (I always remember the film Schindlers List where Nazis use Jewish gravestones to pave a road). BUT bear in mind 2 previous grave desecrations at Calbeck in Cumbria and Badminton in Gloucestershire resulted in the culprits getting 1-3 years (though the bodies were not removed) , 12 years EVEN if the trio were responsible is outrageous. Have someones children been kidnapped? No, A whole town centre blown up? No, Someone slowly tortured to death because they were in the wrong part of a City? No. Please get this into perspective.
What is even more outrageous is the case of Mrs Hammond being paraded as evidence, slipped in at an opportune moment at nearly every recent trial. Sean had nothing to do with the Newchurch campaign, I don't even think he had been up there so WTF had Gladys Hammond to do with Sequani?
None of the SHAC 7 dug up Gladys's remains. Once more the judge brought the matter up (pretending he knew nothing of Yoxall) said he would have to look into the matter and then sent the jury home for the day who no doubt (although they are not supposed to) googled Gladys Hammond. To recap an absolutely separate case which had nothing to do with any of the defendants and all the histrionics that went with it was put as evidence of guilt by association before the jury. Think about that it means that if anyone no matter how mad or separate from for example climate change protestors does something silly and hurts someone in the name of protecting the environment, that every environmentalist finding themselves in court is also judged by that act if they are charged with conspiracy.
Expect to see Gladys's grave on TV reports for other trials. Hardly showing respect for the dead to abuse her in such a way. Was she a kind, community sort of person, did she like gardening, was she charitable, did she help animals, did she bake the best cakes in the village, did she have a scathing wit? Who knows, all the world knows about Gladys Hammond is that her grave was dug up (as opposed to the 10th Duke of Beaufort and John Peel who are remembered and revered for hunting). I find this disturbing and if I was a relative I would be fuming about the way she is portrayed as a "victim" repeatedly on national TV in completely unlinked cases. Her lasting legacy is the woman who got dug up, that is appalling and the fault of the media.
The entire animal rights movement did not dig up this body, in fact it appears that it could well have been a hoax, a hoax to discredit, vilify and discredit an entire movement. Until I hear some evidence to the contrary this is what I believe after all I know that John, Kerry and Jonny (they pleaded guilty as they were badly advised AND to blackmail not digging up Gladys) did not do this surely the police would still be hunting the actual graverobbers? Of course they would look a bit silly if they did arrest anyone else because the press have already judged the 3 in prison as the culprits.

Funny you should mention the Duke!

John Curtin : It's just totally weird what happened. We never actually did dig the body up. And that is an everlasting story in itself, but we did desecrate the grave. We dug a big six-foot hole. We got within like an inch of the coffin. We did all that - got back to London - and bam-bam-bam (the story was in the newspapers).
Basically our weak point was that somebody’s mother knew where this safe house was, and this mother had a hunch-and only a hunch-that her son was involved. She actually went to the police with this information, saying her son was involved in animal rights. All the quirks, circumstances, and coincidences just converged and that was like an Aladdin’s key for the police.
