And for next year? Something tells me that we won’t be seeing much of the names

And for next year? Something tells me that we won’t be seeing much of the names Ann, Ffion and Mo a year from now. Don’t ask me why, but I tip the name Hillary for stardom.
More from Miles Kington. Animal rights campaigners admitted yesterday that fish and chip shops may have become the latest “legitimate targets” for violent protests because of the “inhumane slaughter of fish”. Animal rights campaigners admitted yesterday that fish and chip shops may have become the latest “legitimate targets” for violent protests because of the “inhumane slaughter of fish”.
The announcement by the Animal Liberation Front came after a letter bomb packed with nails exploded at a chip shop in Holywell, north Wales. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack which comes after a week of escalating violence which has seen homes and businesses across the country attacked.Robin Webb, spokesman for the Animal Liberation Front, said: “Although fish and chip shops haven’t been targeted before so far as I can remember, they would be considered legitimate targets.”When one looks at the meat industry in this country, with red meat and white meat animals, there is what is supposed to be humane slaughter.”With the fishing industry, there is no such thing.”They are dragged out of the water into an alien environment in which they slowly die. There is no pretence of humane slaughter.”No one was injured in the latest attack which occurred at 9.40am yesterday when Jonathan Davies, owner of the Davies’ chip shop, opened a brown envelope delivered by the local post office.His father, Robert, who was not in the shop, said: “My son opened the letter casually but luckily he did it away from himself He is very lucky to be alive. There were women and babies in the shop at the time, we were quite busy.

It’s amazing no one was hurt.”North Wales police are investigating a possible link with other attacks thought to have been carried out by animal rights extremists. On 31 December the daughter of the owner of a pest control company in Congleton, Cheshire, was hurt by a letter bomb.A week later, a 58-year-old man suffered facial injuries when he opened a small package containing nails at his farm in Ripon, North Yorkshire, and a female member of staff at a farm in Patrington, Humberside, was hurt after opening a letter containing a small device.Two days ago animal rights protesters set off a car bomb outside the home of a retired doctor, Richard Cockerill, 64, near Oxted, Surrey. No one was injured but two vehicles were damaged in the attack.. Scotland’s Parliament passed a law yesterday to prevent the decline towards extinction of Britain’s wild salmon. But conservation groups and anglers’ associations immediately criticised the Salmon Conservation Bill as inadequate to rescue the king of fish.

“The Bill misses the point,” said Don Staniford of Friends of the Earth Scotland “Its powers stop where the problem starts.

It focuses solely on what happens to salmon in freshwater rivers, while the major problems lie out at sea.” Mr Staniford was supported by a variety of groups who, while welcoming the Bill, said its impact would be limited.”Its measures add up to only a very small part of what needs to be done to save the wild salmon,” said Jane Wright of the Scottish Anglers National Association. “We have great concerns about the impact of salmon farms on the west coast of Scotland on wild stocks Salmon have become extinct in seven west coast rivers. In some other areas, fewer than 1 per cent of the juveniles who leave the rivers return from the sea as mature fish.”Bruce Sandison, one of Scotland’s top angling writers, said: “We pursue them relentlessly in rivers, on their Atlantic feeding grounds and with commercial netting. We have degraded their spawning habitat in our rivers by chemical farming practices and inappropriate management.”.

The British Nuclear Fuels vessel Pacific Swan is rapidly becoming the pariah of South America because the captain intends to negotiate the treacherous waters of Cape Horn with 90 tons of waste vitrified in 192 glass blocks.The shipment, bound for Japan where the original waste came from in the Seventies, has been criticised by Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil and Uruguay.On Wednesday, the Argentine federal court of appeal in Buenos Aires ordered its government to prevent the vessel entering waters under its control, saying the shoreline faced the risk of a toxic spill.The cargo of the British-registered Pacific Swan, which left Cherbourg on 19 December, was reprocessed by the French company Cogema. Greenpeace International estimates that nuclear waste shipments will rise to one every six months over the next 10 years.
