I’d be interested to know what has prompted the toning down of SPEAK’s latest suggestion that their members phone up to complain about an Oxford University department Christmas party.
Recently, SPEAK have incited two of these phone-ins. The first was aggressive and self-aggrandising:
SPEAK has insisted from the outset of this campaign that we plan to highlight exactly the sort of people that work inside the animal labs at Oxford. We believe that those companies dealing with such people have a right to know exactly who they are doing business with in order for them to make an informed decision. Animal abuse at the university exists because of the lies told by those that work in those departments torturing animals and animal abuse will continue as long as such people are allowed to peddle their lies. SPEAK will never allow those lies to go unchallenged despite the best attempts by Oxford University to muzzle us in the Courts.
We also said: nothing Oxford University does will escape our attention and we meant it!
