! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.
I’d like to wish all my readers a very merry Christmas.
I’ll be taking a few days off blogging but I’ll probably update Twitter from time to time so if you really have nothing better to do over Christmas than read about whatever is annoying me you can follow me on Twitter!

Merry Christmas jockey. Have a good one!
Merry Christmas to you too 🙂
Always find it a bit odd that people defending fluffy creatures would behave so obnoxiously – what gives? But then, I always find it a bit odd that animal testing is offered up as a way of finding cures for illnesses – shouldn’t we be testing drugs on humans? Pro-test strikes me as an astro-turf group of big pharma. Why don’t they carry on testing drugs when they’ve hit the market? All interesting questions. The government, I imagine will use this case to pass more laws supposedly to stop this sort of thing (though, it’s illegal already) and this will stifle legitimate protests.
Anyhoo, got to go – merry christmas, Wonko. Hope it’s full of joy for you and your family. Merry Christmas to all, and all the best for 2009.
so, what did you get?
did the boss get her wii wii toy?
charley, some people get to be cruel to animals and some people get to be cruel to each other, maybe in your wonderful socilaist world, we can all be allowed to be cruel who we want to? (just joking, i withdraw that as a crappy joke)
we need to test on animals,it is part of the process that works like
this.
they think something up and check it via the books, if it passes, they test on cadaver material, if it passes they test it on animals, if it passes, they test it on people, if it passes they give it to NICE, who decide if it was worth the effort.
Animal testing is just part of the process, thats what people dont understand
alternate queens speech by the iranian chap, this fits in with my idea of ‘Minority Wars’, Jews versus Gays, its bound to sell, why have’nt sky called me up yet?

So long as the person at the recieving end is okay with that, it’s not the business of the rest of us, is it? Animals and children can’t give their consent to such things, and need protection. But consenting adults who get their rocks off with all that S&M business a la Max Mosely – we don;t need to trouble the police with that!
but that is what happens already, you get paid reasonable money to be a human guniea pig but, and here is the big thing, drugs take a lot of work to reach the stage, where it is worth testing them on humans.
rats are given drugs to see if it kills them, monkeys the same and little more invsetagative work, then when it gets tested on people, they are checked out for odd we abnormalities and once it is past that test, it is given to actual real sick people, to see if it does what it is hoped to do
