UPDATE: Verbatim transcript of Bradley Manning's Feb 28 statement now online. Thanks to Alexa O'Brien.

01-03-2013 00:18

On Wednesday 27th February the ICC in Birmingham hosted the National Farmers Union Conference.

They have strong political ties. Outside around 60 hunt saboteurs and animal rights activists protested against this group which is a collection of individuals and corporations most responsible for lobbying for the up coming Badger Cull and is also the body who will be carrying out the cull.
