A remarkable young man


Laurie a.k.a. Sqrrl101 is a 16 year old lad from Oxford. He was so angered by the antics of the animal rights extremists campaigning against the Oxford Uni lab (picture) that he decided to form Pro-Test, an organisation campaigning for the lab.

The Social Affairs website profiles him here.

His fledgling organisation are holding a rally in Oxford on Saturday 25th Feb.

Support him if you are in the area.

  1. Hey, you did it! You left a trackback! Great. It's ok, the number of ppl who "hardly agree with me on anything is quite vast, surely it is in the hundreds of millions, especially bloggers. It's a good feeling helping bloggers learn tricks to blog better. I am going to post more of these, I think.

  2. It's odd you say you don't agree with anything I say, because I just read your whole front page here, and I agree with most of what YOU say. Interesting...

    I have just read your article on the Cartoon Wars.

    Throughout this article you question why the right wing blogosphere (of which i am a small part) is up in arms about the response to the cartoons but question whether they be quite as indignant were the cartoons to be anti-semitic.

    The answer lies in your 'behaviour when offended' column. Jews aren't blowing up innocent civilians around the globe. They don't proclaim murder fatwas on authors who offend them. They don't torch Embassies of countries they don't like. They don't incite murder to anti-semitic cartoonists. There has been no call to murder the repulsive David Irving.

    Those of us on the Right find it incredible that the Left has struck an alliance with the far-right Islamists. Call me old-fashioned but misogyny, homophobia, patriachy and anti-semitism are repellent characteristics that featured heavily in Western culture 200 years ago. The Left was largely responsible (to the Right's shame) for changing popular opinion about these issues. Why then side with people who want to turn the progressive clock back 200 years?

    We just don't get it.
