Daily Mirror from London, London, England • 13

Seeing red cove' the Green THE Radio Times tells us that you "love animals" and would like to be surrounded by them, but alas it appears you also love animals roasted for your Sunday lunch. Greens and veggies are concerned. Snide Nwilmowl Because I still buy beef and lamb, own a leather coat, numerous pairs of leather shoes, not to mention a fridge DAILY MIRROR, Wednesday, December 6, 1989 PAGE 13 which lets off all the wrong sorts of gases. Like, I imagine, most other folk, I will in time become even more green. Unless I go on receiving snide letters of the Vegetarian Society variety.

An outfit which ought to realise it is in grave danger of alienating the very people most open to gentle persuasion. In fact, I am heartily sick of being harangued, lectured and treated like an irresponsible hooligan by those who thrive on nut cutlets, walk around in cloth sandals and would rather save a rain forest than green shield stamps. I didn't, and nor did you, invent factory farming, rules for running slaughterhouses, the methods for trapping wild mink, the formula for quick-spray polish or the advertising campaign for Benson and Hedges low tar cigarettes. I therefore consider it an infringement of my liberty that I should be lynched for wearing a fur coat bought 20 years ago when half the Greens were still wrapped up in ozonedamaging nappies. And that folk now think they have the perfect right to ask me to stop smoking in a British Rail smoking carriage "because no one else is smoking.

All in all, a very nasty and totally unacceptable element of aggression and smugness has crept into the tactics of those who campaign for a gentler world. A trigl'''''' :7 l.

Has forgotten that little Jamie, son of Des in Neighbours, left his mother womb in one piece despite Daphne giving birth with her tights on? att 41 giViajgra y.l tri THOUSANDS of people are at risk of catching AIDS from normal sexual relations, according to a new report following a nationwide survey by the Press This seems to make a nonsense of the announcement by Health Minister Mrs Virginia Bottomley that half a million people are to be tested for AIDS but will not be told the results. The idea of the test, we are told, is so the Government can get a better idea of the rate at which the disease is spreading. Yet surely the same information could prevent the disease spreading further by alerting those people who think they-are perfectly safe and healthy and a risk to no one but who are, in fact, victims of the virus. So goes a letter I have just received from a Mr Alan Long of the Vegetarian Society A letter, I might say, that has got right up my nose. Like, I imagine, most other folk, my conversion to things green and wholesome is gradual.

I stopped eating veal years ago when I learned how calves were kept and slaughtered. For much the same reason you will not now find any battery chickens, battery eggs, pork or bacon in my larder. I only buy cosmetics I know haven't been tested on animals.
