Major Grand National threat from eco-activists as ‘plot to storm Aintree and form human chain glued to course’ uncovered
MORE than 100 eco-activists plotting to storm the Grand National and glue themselves to the course have been foiled.
Vegan nuts from Animal Rebellion – an offshoot of Extinction Rebellion – plan to cut down security fences and use ladders to raid Aintree.
More than 100 eco-activists are plotting to storm the Grand National on April 15[/caption]
Once in, they conspire to glue themselves together in a human barricade and sit across the course to spark chaos at the world’s most famous steeplechase.
But their audacious Suffragette-esque plan has been exposed by an undercover reporter and handed to Merseyside Police.
In one clip revealed by the Mail on Sunday, smug ringleader Rose Patterson, 33, can be heard yapping: “We’ve got £300 million of bets on the horse race and we’re just going to ruin it.”
Her militant cronies cackle as they relish in the disruption they hope to cause in front of 600 million racing fans.
In other shocking footage, daft protester Jim Edwards, a former business journalist, lets spill how saboteurs had booked houses to get their heads down the night before their planned assault.
A fleet of minibuses is also being hired to ferry the eco thugs and equipment to the racecourse on April 15.
The group – spawned in 2019 – think horse racing surmounts to “animal abuse” and wants an end to it.
It hopes the Aintree invasion will “kick-start” protests at King’s favourite Royal Ascot and other racing events this year.
The group also wants all animal farming and fishing banned.
Previous stunts have seen the eco yobs douse Parliament in white paint and pour milk over the carpets at posh Fortnum & Mason.
A spokesperson for Animal Rebellion threatened to go ahead with disruptive actions over the spring and summer.

Wikipedia says it has found the ‘sound of all human knowledge’ with new audio logo
We don’t always think about it, but sound can be as important to identifying a brand as any graphical logo. Netflix’s ‘ta-dum’ instantly brings the streaming service’s logo to mind. Apple’s startup chime feels like a warm greeting from your computer. Now, Wikipedia has an iconic audio mark of its own: a fluttering of book pages, keyboard clicks and synthesize tones it calls “The Sound of All Human Knowledge.”
In true Wikipedia fashion, the four second audio clip was sourced from the community. The Wikimedia Foundation hosted a contest to find an audio logo for “projects when visual logos are not an option.” Over 3,000 submissions later, they landed on a series of warm, happy notes preceded by book and keyboard noises, created by Thaddeus Osborne.
Osborne, a Nuclear Scientist by day, will be awarded $2,500 for creating the winning sound. Wikimedia will also be flying him to a professional recording studio to help produce a finalized version of the audio logo. The foundation says it hopes to have the final sound ready to use by June of this year.
