Who is this Jill we are being asked to remember ?

Some background info would be helpful.

Thanks

I know who Jill Phipps is, but I wouldn't expect everyone to know

Jill Phipps was an animal rights activist who was crushed to death by a lorry carrying calves to Coventry Airport for live export:

I'm sure most people in the animal rights universe will have heard of her, and some other people, as it was quite big news at the time, but I'm sure a lot of Indymedia readers from other backgrounds won't have a clue who she was.

And the reason it is at Ramsgate is because live exports of calves, sheep and pigs are currently going out through the docks at Ramsgate:

There are a lot of videos on Youtube of the campaign e.g.

They have regular pickets of the docks:

Considering it happened 17 years ago, Its a bit much to expect everyone to know
What about young people?

What about someone who is like 20 years old, who would of been 3 at the time of Jill's death?

I think you are being a bit condenscending towards the young and elitist in general.

@Pauline - don't fall for the trolling

Pro animal abuse trolls have a long history of posting shitty comments under the names of other people, so don't believe everything you read here...

Unless you are yourself a troll as well, just pretending to be an activist believing earlier troll comments?
