“ We never give in and we always win.”


<strong>Stop</strong> <strong>Huntingdon</strong> <strong>Animal</strong> <strong>Cruelty</strong><br />

March against<br />

the Money Men<br />

of bankers coming to their office windows to see what was going on.<br />

This route took us through the very heart of the City and took nearly<br />

1hour 20 minutes for us to complete.<br />

Along the way via the megaphone all the companies that have dumped<br />

HLS were pointed out. Slowly, surely and noisily we made our way to<br />

America Square where HLS market maker Cantor Fitzgerald are based.<br />

The only thing is though Cantor Fitzgerald have stopped dealing with<br />

HLS and they have now decamped and fled to Canary Wharf...bloody<br />

typical!<br />

On April 28th during World Week for Lab <strong>Animal</strong>s, <strong>SHAC</strong><br />

held a march through the City of London to get the message<br />

across that to invest in HLS is financial madness. The only<br />

problem was that in January when we planned this demo<br />

there were 15 targets in the City of London yet as we approached<br />

April 28th these targets started to rapidly<br />

disappear with HLS being kicked off the Over the Counter<br />

Bulletin Board, and then the day before the March being<br />

kicked off the Pink Sheets. What timing!<br />

With this happy predicament we decided to keep the march<br />

in the City but afterwards split into 4 teams and did demos<br />

at HLS customers. About 100 of us moved off on the start of<br />

the march in Finsbury Square. We made our way along Moorgate,<br />

London Wall, Bishopsgate and Leadenhall bringing the<br />

traffic and the office workers to a standstill with hundreds<br />

World Week for<br />

April 28th.<br />

4 Teams -<br />

Lots of demos<br />

Lab <strong>Animal</strong>s<br />

After the March and a rousing speech from Keith Mann at the<br />

end, minibuses were driven into America Square and activists<br />

split into 4 teams. These demos were highly successful<br />

and we are hoping to do the same on Friday 16th June (see<br />

back cover for details). It was so good to encompass in one<br />

day a March in the City against HLS financially then to go on<br />

afterwards and hold demos against some of <strong>Huntingdon</strong>’s<br />

largest customers and with good numbers too, GlaxoSmith-<br />

Kline’s worldwide headquarters seeing 30 activists outside<br />

until well after 6-30pm.<br />

All the demos were loud and visual, again ramming home the<br />

message that if you deal with HLS then the whole world will<br />

know about it. Below is a brief outline of which team went<br />

where. After the demo, lifts were given back into London or<br />

to a main line train station. We finished the day coming out<br />

of London at 10pm tired but happy that we had brought<br />

the disgusting <strong>Huntingdon</strong> Life Sciences to thousands of<br />

peoples’ attention and more to the point to the attention of<br />

those that matter: City bankers and HLS customers.<br />

Team 4<br />

Team 1<br />

06<br />

Team 3<br />

Team 1 travelled out to Berkshire where they held<br />

demos at HLS customers Wyeth and Abbott Labs in<br />

Maidenhead.<br />

Team 2 stayed in London and held demos at HLS<br />

customer Astra Zeneca, The Mauritian Embassy and<br />

Kuoni Travel. The last two were targetted because<br />

Mauritius is one of the largest exporters of primates<br />

in the world and all the primates that are shipped to<br />

HLS come from Mauritius. Kuoni Travel specialise<br />

in holidays to Mauritius and support the primate<br />

trade.<br />

Team 3 After the march this team headed off to GSK’s<br />

massive HQ in West London (see picture on right).<br />

Team 4 This team travelled to Pfizer’s European HQ at Walton<br />

Oaks just off the M25 in Surrey. They then finished off at<br />

massive customer of HLS Novartis in Horsham where they<br />

greeted the workers as they went home.<br />

24/7 365 <strong>SHAC</strong> DOING THE BUSINESS


Summer’s here<br />

so it’s time for ...<br />

Listed here are companies that provide vital services to <strong>Huntingdon</strong> Life Sciences, be they courier, animal transport, supply or building<br />

companies. Please contact all the companies listed politely and inform them of HLS’s record of animal cruelty and unbelievable staff<br />

incompetence. You can be sure that HLS won’t tell them what goes on behind the razor wire and high fences, so it is up to you to make sure<br />

the truth is heard by those who are helping HLS kill 500 animals a day. You can keep your communications simple: a simple request saying<br />

‘please don’t support animal cruelty’ is enough. The important thing is to take action and speak out for the voiceless victims of <strong>Huntingdon</strong><br />

Spotlight on<br />

PDP Couriers:<br />

The main logistical<br />

supplier to HLS<br />

Some years ago a small company came to our<br />

attention called PDP Couriers after we were<br />

leaked information about the Bristol Oncology<br />

Centre and their dealings with HLS. The courier<br />

company that had made the deliveries of samples<br />

to the centre was a company called PDP<br />

Couriers based in Middlesex. So we contacted<br />

PDP and asked them whether they would agree<br />

to make a statement saying that would never<br />

deliver to HLS again. They did this very quickly.<br />

Now a number of supporters have asked us in<br />

the past how do we know when a company is<br />

telling the truth. Well the honest answer is that<br />

we always take statements at face value whatever<br />

we may secretly be thinking and can do<br />

no more until we can prove different. With PDP<br />

this didn’t take long in coming as it came to our<br />

attention that they were still making deliveries<br />

to HLS. So we contacted them and at first they<br />

strenuously denied it but then when<br />

they realised that we KNEW they were lying<br />

they said “Oh we were only delivering to Centralabs”.<br />

Centralabs are the clinical trials part of<br />

HLS, operating out of their site at Alconbury. By<br />

this time it had also come to our attention that<br />

they were advertising at<br />

vivisection conferences and were delivering to<br />

HLS in an unmarked silver transit van reg EF04<br />

TXA.<br />

As if that wasn’t bad enough, at the end of last<br />

year we were told by an HLS worker that PDP<br />

I thought it might happen so<br />

it’s not too bad. Needless<br />

to say I’m appealing against<br />

a lot of the guilty verdicts.<br />

somewhat. I’m still in good<br />

health but, to be truthful,<br />

things will get worse from<br />

now on. But mentally I am<br />

strong and will remain so<br />

because I believe the Hunger<br />

Strike is right. This Labour<br />

Government are betraying<br />

the animals and must be<br />

stopped from doing so. So<br />

this protest will continue<br />

until such time as we win<br />

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY<br />

A short while ago we were sent documents that<br />

showed that Cambridge University’s Centre for<br />

Brain Repair at Addenbrookes Hospital was dealing<br />

with <strong>Huntingdon</strong> Life Sciences and were in<br />

fact an active partner in experiments carried out at<br />

HLS. With a name like the Centre for Brain Repair<br />

you can imagine the kind of vicious, painful braindamaging<br />

experiments they are involved in with<br />

<strong>Huntingdon</strong>.<br />

This is not the first time a unit at this hospital has<br />

come to our notice as Addenbrookes were also involved<br />

with HLS during the 5 year long xenotransplantation<br />

experiments performed on wild caught<br />

baboons. If you look on the sheet to the right<br />

headed Harlan you will see that this was<br />

HLS<br />

bank of america sell<br />

all their shares in hls<br />

(and here’s just a small clue why)<br />

Over the past 6 months <strong>Huntingdon</strong> Life Sciences have steadily<br />

lost one major shareholder after another which is causing them<br />

real problems. Bank of America held about 300,000 shares in HLS<br />

and after demos in the US, Belgium and Holland they decided HLS<br />

just weren’t worth it and offloaded the shares. This really highlights<br />

the strength of <strong>SHAC</strong> and the way we can hit a global company<br />

on our terms across the world.<br />

Frequently<br />

Asked Questions<br />

We often get asked certain questions<br />

about demonstrations. Here<br />

are some of the regular ones<br />

answered.<br />

How do I join a demonstration?<br />

If you are interested in coming<br />

on a <strong>SHAC</strong> demonstration then<br />

please contact us via e-mail or<br />

phone and we’ll let you know if<br />

there are any demos happening<br />

in your area. If there are any<br />

demos in your area then we’ll tell<br />

you where and when to meet up<br />

with the demo. Simple as that.<br />

Bank of America demo in Philadelphia<br />

Bank of America demo in Amsterdam<br />

What if there is nobody in my<br />

area?<br />

Don’t worry. A lot of the demos<br />

are mobile demos so campaigners<br />

will be in cars which means<br />

that they may be able to pick you<br />

up from a train station or somewhere<br />

else that is convenient. Or<br />

if you’re up for it you could organize<br />

your own demonstration<br />

local to you. Contact us if you<br />

would like any help doing this.<br />

How many people will be there?<br />

Demos vary in size. Sometimes<br />

there may be loads of people out<br />

but demos can still be effective<br />

with just a few people.<br />

But I won’t know anyone there?<br />

Everybody went on their first<br />

demo at some point and it may<br />

be the first demo for other people<br />

there as well. You will be made to<br />

don’t know anyone else.<br />

Does it matter if I’m not a vegan<br />

or vegetarian?<br />

No. Just because you disagree<br />

with what HLS do doesn’t mean<br />

that you will be expected to be<br />

vegan or vegetarian straight<br />

away. We’re all fighting for the<br />

same cause, and that is to close<br />

down HLS. No one will have a go<br />

at you if you are wearing leather<br />

shoes! We all had to start somewhere<br />

and coming on a demo is a<br />

brilliant place to start.<br />

What is a mobile demo and what<br />

will I be doing?<br />

A mobile demo is where campaigners<br />

hold demonstrations at<br />

various customers and suppliers<br />

anything else, there is something<br />

Will I have to use a megaphone?<br />

Don’t feel that you will have to<br />

do anything that you don’t feel<br />

comfortable with. There will be<br />

somebody who is confident on<br />

the megaphone on the demo.<br />

However this isn’t to say that you<br />

can’t use it, we welcome people<br />

to get on the megaphone if they<br />

choose.<br />

Will the police be there?<br />

The police usually turn up on<br />

Am I likely to get arrested?<br />

Again, it depends on the different<br />

ask.<br />

Does it really make a difference?<br />

Definitely! It’s not the only way to<br />

make a difference but demonstrations<br />

have achieved so much.<br />

It’s demonstrations that make<br />

companies realize that working<br />

with HLS really isn’t worth it.<br />

When you’re on the demonstration<br />

you may not necessarily see<br />

the effect that you’re having but<br />

it doesn’t mean that the demo is<br />

ineffective. Look at the position<br />

HLS are in now, that couldn’t<br />

have been achieved without demonstrating.<br />

As a person who is in frontline medical research I have chosen to say<br />

NO to animal experimentation.<br />

I design novel tests to detect infectious diseases and cancer, and my<br />

collaborators are some of the worlds leading scientists. It is a specific<br />

clause in our contracts that no animals may be used; and they all agree<br />

to this.<br />

I am unable to see how anybody has the right to use animals in any<br />

medical experimentation.<br />

If you know of a demonstration<br />

near you then maybe help out for<br />

half an hour or so on your lunch<br />

way to help is to find out where<br />

demonstrations will be and call<br />

How Low can they go? HLS now<br />

kicked off the Pink Sheets!<br />

Well as far as trading exchanges go,<br />

<strong>Huntingdon</strong> really have hit rock bottom.<br />

After multiple demos in New York and<br />

an email action action alert from the UK,<br />

<strong>Huntingdon</strong>’s last remaining market maker<br />

Vertical dropped out and with no market<br />

maker HLS were bumped off the Pink<br />

Sheets. So where have they gone? Well<br />

before I answer that question, let me first<br />

explain how the financial markets view the<br />

Pink Sheets...Yes the same Pink Sheets<br />

HLS have just been knocked off. The quotes<br />

below are from a financial website called<br />

www.pennymarkets.com:<br />

“It’s a bit like having to move out of your<br />

house in Beverly Hills to an industrial park<br />

20 miles east of downtown L.A.,” said Marc<br />

Beauchamp, the executive director of the<br />

North American Securities Administrators<br />

Association explaing what it’s like to go on<br />

to the Pink Sheets.<br />

.<br />

“We are the tier of stuff that can’t, won’t, or<br />

doesn’t want to be listed on the exchange<br />

NYSE.”<br />

So in market terms HLS have gone from the<br />

industrial park in LA to a shack (pardon the<br />

pun) by the road as they have moved on to<br />

the Grey Markets. Now the Grey Markets<br />

are not an exchange as such but more of<br />

an auction, there is no website you can<br />

check on called the Grey Markets or any<br />

kind of organised structure. This leads to<br />

unbelievable volatility with the share price<br />

bouncing up and down. <strong>Huntingdon</strong> are so<br />

desperate to keep their share price up that<br />

they are forced into propping up the share<br />

price themselves. Numerous examples have<br />

been seen of this, for example yesterday<br />

their share price was at $9.25 so along<br />

comes someone and hikes it up to $11 (It<br />

still finished the day on $9.25). So the next<br />

time you are in Tesco’s and you bill comes<br />

to £60 remember to say to the cashier: “I’m<br />

not paying that but I’ll give you £80.”<br />

The reason for this desperation is the need<br />

to keep their share price inflated above $8<br />

as this makes their market capitalisation<br />

$100 million which is a stipulation for them<br />

to be considered for the NYSE, which they<br />

still hold a hope of getting on to hence the<br />

advert to the right.<br />

Recently HLS reported their first quarter figures<br />

2006 which are compared like for like<br />

to quarter one 2005. In Q1 2005 their sales<br />

were $43, 294 million and in Q1 2006 they<br />

were $42, 455 million. Profits also dropped<br />

from like quarter to quarter from $2.5 million<br />

to $470,000. Cass noted on the figures<br />

that they were “disappointing in absolute<br />

terms” and complained of “unusually high<br />

cancellations.”<br />

It is astonishing that with all the help that<br />

<strong>Huntingdon</strong> have had from Tony Blair, Lord<br />

Sainsbury and industry bodies that their<br />

turnover has not trebled or quadrupled. But<br />

it is only now that it has climbed above pre<br />

1997 levels, after all the help they have had!<br />

The upshot is that we have been having<br />

fanatastic success against HLS on the<br />

financial markets but we need to step it up<br />

against HLS customers and push down<br />

their orders.<br />

HLS are more than ever considered a lame<br />

duck by the financial lenders across the<br />

world and an indication of this is seen in<br />

<strong>Huntingdon</strong>’s recent $70 million refinancing.<br />

The fact that Andrew Baker had to<br />

personally guarantee $30 million of this is<br />

very telling. Do you think Richard Branson<br />

has to underwrite loans to Virgin? Of<br />

course not. On top of that, the interest on<br />

this loan is very very high and the clauses<br />

in the contract are many, for instance the<br />

loan can be called in if Baker or Cass leave<br />

the company!<br />

The last word must go to Andrew Baker<br />

CEO of HLS who recently whined in the<br />

Sunday Telegraph 14th May 2006. Can you<br />

imagine any other CEO ranting hysterically<br />

in the national press like this?<br />

“My low point has been caused by not getting<br />

support - an extraordinary feeling of<br />

being abandoned.”<br />

“ Why have we allowed 10 - perhaps 20 at<br />

most - pathetic, sick, pychologically disturbed<br />

people to intimidate a country of 60<br />

million people?”<br />

He then went onto to blame David Blunkett<br />

and Securicor and even the City itself<br />

claiming “...the excuse that they want to<br />

protect their employees just doesn’t cut it<br />

any more.” Talk about losing control? And<br />

anyway as if the City cares what Andrew<br />

Baker thinks!<br />

Dumb and Dumber<br />

Yep you’ve guessed it! Just when we thought the animals’<br />

enemies couldn’t get any dumber they’ve become even<br />

more dumb! The ad below was taken out in the New York<br />

Times at a cost of $150,000. It came out on April 28th on<br />

the day <strong>SHAC</strong> were marching through the City of London.<br />

It is thought that the ad was taken out by the Centre for<br />

Consumer Freedom in the US. They are a rightwing industry<br />

body like the Research Defence Society in the UK. On the<br />

evidence of this advert they’re certainly as stupid as the<br />

RDS. Whilst HLS are desperately trying to calm already<br />

frayed nerves amongst investors after their demise on to<br />

the Grey Markets their supposed friends’ great idea is to..er..<br />

frighten the very people HLS are trying to calm.<br />

And you know what? Two weeks later they took out the<br />

same advert in the New York Times spending in total<br />

$300,000.Maybe they have been infiltrated by AR sympathisers<br />

cos we couldn’t have done a better job ourselves!


To the City that never sleeps: Neither do we!<br />

A SPECIAL REPORT ON NY BASED WAR - WIN ANIMAL RIGHTS<br />

Imagine this: you are part of a small but tenacious<br />

group of activists dedicated to stopping<br />

the horrific cruelty that we all know goes on<br />

at <strong>Huntingdon</strong> Life Sciences. Over a two-year<br />

period, you have spent almost every weekend<br />

organizing protests, rallies, candlelight vigils<br />

and educational stalls outside of the home of the<br />

principal investor in <strong>Huntingdon</strong> Life Sciences,<br />

Andrew Baker. You have weathered everything<br />

from blistering heat waves through blizzards,<br />

thunderstorms and just about every other<br />

weather condition.<br />

Due to a massive campaign of public education<br />

in Baker’s neighborhood, you enjoy the support<br />

and the respect of the community. Baker’s<br />

neighbors regularly wave and cheer your group<br />

on and many even provide financial support for<br />

your efforts. Despite all of that, you realize that<br />

Andrew Baker, Chief Executive Officer and major<br />

shareholder of HLS and his wife, Susan Baker,<br />

don’t really care about the 15 foot banner naming<br />

and shaming Andrew Baker as a Puppy Killer or<br />

that their neighbors turn away from them.<br />

The Bakers have been shunned by many of their<br />

neighbors who have expressed support for the<br />

steadfast protestors that are always at the front<br />

door, rain or shine. They have had their local<br />

pet supply account canceled when they found<br />

out what Andrew Baker did for a living. Baker’s<br />

limousine driver quit his job rather than continue<br />

to drive what he called ‘an ugly monster’. By now<br />

it is clear that the Bakers just don’t care as long<br />

as they can escape the city to their Long Island<br />

hideaway or their home in California’s Hollywood<br />

Hills.<br />

What do you do when you learn that the New<br />

York Police Department is holding secret meetings<br />

in Baker’s apartment? Yes, we know about<br />

Baker’s meeting with Lt. Albano of NYPD Legal<br />

and General Counsel Mark Bibi. How do you deal<br />

with the fact that you are with the only group in<br />

the city that cannot get a sound permit to use<br />

a bullhorn during a protest? What do you do<br />

when you realize that as long as you continue to<br />

protest, members of your group will be subjected<br />

to police harassment, intimidation and arrest?<br />

So, what do you do when faced with this<br />

situation?<br />

Declare WAR! On October 23, 2004 at a national<br />

weekend of action against <strong>Huntingdon</strong> Life Sciences,<br />

Camille Hankins, Greg Kelly and a third<br />

activist launched a grassroots group whose mission<br />

was to take the resources that were devoted<br />

to influencing the Bakers and to re-deploy in a<br />

different and more effective direction. Instead of<br />

hoping that the message would be heard by the<br />

Bakers, we decided to speak to them in the only<br />

language they seem to understand. Money talks<br />

and we decided to speak directly to their bottom<br />

line!<br />

Although from time to time, activists still visit the<br />

Bakers (we have heard that most of these visits<br />

occur in the dead of night and are rather loud and<br />

unruly), we have redirected our attention to those<br />

individuals and companies that have helped Baker<br />

and HLS to stay in business. We studied the<br />

brilliant campaigns being waged in the U.K. and<br />

modeled our efforts after those that we witnessed<br />

leading to the greatest economic impact.<br />

At first, we focused on the board members of the<br />

various high profile customers of HLS. Companies<br />

like GlaxoSmithKline, Bristol-Myers Squibb,<br />

Roche and Novartis. All had board members that<br />

either lived in New York City or had prestigious<br />

board affiliations here in town. By doing this, we<br />

served notice that we had changed our tactics<br />

and our modus operandi. The days of applying<br />

for sound permits and giving notice of our intent<br />

to demonstrate have given way to a new tactic of<br />

simply turning up and loudly protesting.<br />

Next, we focused on the money men: the investors<br />

and especially the market makers, most of<br />

whom had offices in New York City. In August,<br />

2005, when the HLS parent company Life Sciences<br />

Research (LSRI) announced that LSR would be<br />

moving up to the big board, the New York Stock<br />

Exchange, we knew we had our work cut out for<br />

us. Immediately upon hearing<br />

the news, we<br />

launched a major<br />

offensive to take<br />

our message to<br />

Wall Street. For<br />

the next 6 weeks,<br />

we campaigned<br />

in the Wall Street<br />

area almost every<br />

day. We held banners<br />

and graphic<br />

posters, distributed<br />

countless leaflets,<br />

protested market<br />

makers and sent out<br />

action alerts to thousands<br />

of activists.<br />

On September 7,<br />

2005, after working<br />

almost 48 hours<br />

non-stop, we heard<br />

that the campaign<br />

to <strong>Stop</strong> <strong>Huntingdon</strong><br />

<strong>Animal</strong> <strong>Cruelty</strong> had<br />

won a stunning and<br />

important victory. We<br />

knew that we had taken<br />

part in a campaign that<br />

had made history, as<br />

there has never been a<br />

NYSE listing that was<br />

stopped because of<br />

political activism. We,<br />

at WAR, were happy<br />

to know that we had<br />

played a small but<br />

important part in that<br />

victory. We watched<br />

as LSRI stock, which<br />

fell back on to the<br />

OTCBB, dropped<br />

from a record high<br />

of $18.30 to a low of<br />

$10.00 and still<br />

falling.<br />

After months<br />

of focused and<br />

intensive campaigning,<br />

LSRI<br />

lost its last market<br />

maker and<br />

fell from the<br />

OTCBB to the<br />

Pink Sheets.<br />

Not content<br />

with this, WAR<br />

launched<br />

Operation:<br />

Knockout<br />

which systematically<br />

targeted<br />

market<br />

makers and<br />

investment<br />

houses with<br />

an eye toward<br />

knocking them out<br />

taking LSRI<br />

off of the<br />

Pink Sheets.<br />

Again,<br />

our efforts<br />

along with<br />

the efforts<br />

of all of the<br />

campaigners<br />

around the<br />

world were<br />

rewarded<br />

when the last<br />

market makers,<br />

Vertical Group<br />

and Seaboard<br />

Securities,<br />

dropped LSRI.<br />

LSRI’s listing<br />

on the Pink Sheets was history as they fell<br />

into the financial dead zone known as the Grey<br />

Markets.<br />

Most recently, WAR has launched a tongue-incheek<br />

campaign, Operation: Sinking Ship. With<br />

all of the money men gone, we now turn our<br />

attention back to those companies that literally<br />

keep HLS afloat. Companies like GlaxoSmith-<br />

Kline, Pfizer, Novartis, Roche and Bristol-Myers<br />

Squibb account for the lion’s share of HLS<br />

revenue. They keep HLS in the killing business.<br />

Each of these companies has vulnerabilities and<br />

skeletons in their closets. Skeletons, which we<br />

are sure, they would rather keep buried. We all<br />

know what happens to the skeletons of animal<br />

abusers and exploiters. They have a way of getting<br />

out. Our mission is to speak the truth and to<br />

educate the public about the horrors of animal<br />

testing.<br />

Since our humble beginning just over 18 months<br />

ago, WAR has enjoyed both national and international<br />

press coverage from countless TV stations<br />

and media outlets including CNN in the USA and<br />

SKYE-TV and Canal Plus in Europe.<br />

Our work has been<br />

covered by prestigious<br />

financial publications<br />

such as Dow Jones,<br />

Bloomberg Financial,<br />

Financial Times, Forbes<br />

Magazine and the Wall<br />

Street Journal. We are delighted<br />

that we have been<br />

able to use these press<br />

opportunities to publicize<br />

and shed light on the cruelty<br />

and animal abuse that<br />

take place every day in the<br />

laboratories of <strong>Huntingdon</strong><br />

Life Sciences.<br />

We owe a debt of gratitude<br />

to those who have<br />

mentored us and shown<br />

us the way (you know who you are), as well as<br />

to the countless activists around the world who<br />

have continued to fight the good fight and who<br />

have contributed to these accomplishments. We<br />

salute those imprisoned warriors that have been<br />

temporarily taken from us. You are never far from<br />

our thoughts and you give us inspiration and the<br />

strength to carry on. Until you are free and can<br />

rejoin the fight, we dedicate our efforts to you.<br />

WAR has proven that a small group of impassioned<br />

and dedicated animal activists can<br />

overcome the odds and achieve great success<br />

with limited resources. Our challenge to you is<br />

to continue to grow stronger and to work harder<br />

because our animal brothers and sisters, imprisoned<br />

in HLS and other hellholes just like it, need<br />

us to double our efforts for their liberation. They<br />

are counting on us. The ultimate success has<br />

never been more achievable than right now.<br />

Until all are free,<br />

OK so you want know what will be happening on the day? It’s really simple and effective. We will be<br />

meeting at GlaxoSmithKline at the address above from 8am onwards. You need to come no later<br />

than 11am. If you can come earlier you will be more than welcome. If you need a lift from Stevenage<br />

train station then let us know in advance. There will be transport from various areas inc London,<br />

South Coast, Berkshire etc - contact us for details.<br />

At 11-45am we will split into teams just like we did on March against the Money Men. From here we<br />

will move off to demo HLS customers in surrounding counties. The demos will finish when the murderers<br />

go home which is about 6pm. We can drop you at either where you joined us or a main line<br />

station but no one will be left short. So you see we will be doing our bit but will you be doing yours?<br />

Or will you let them laugh at the animals?
