25 August

I've been meaning to write about the Lobster Liberation Front for ages. I'm sure you read about them in the papers last month. I was planning to get all cross about how these dorks could possibly think it was good idea to sabotage about the only sustainable type of fishing still practised in Europe, trashing the livelihoods of ordinary people while they're at it. Then I was going to throw in some observations about how all the animal rights activists I've ever met are at least one sardine short of a full tin, and that's even on the sliding scale of activist nutiness, which is far to leftfield of even your average loony, as anyone who has met me can testify.

But life is too short. And besides, I've just come across what appears to be the original Lobster Liberation Front website (naturally, it originates from California) and it's actually quite funny. Especially the bit about the liberation of Reginald. I wonder whether our West Country cell has been the unwitting victim of an elaborate hoax? It's a well-known fact that all animal rights activists have their sense of humour surgically removed at birth.

Glad I haven't got a comment facility on my blog just yet...
