Linda McCartney, for bringing vegetarianism to the mainstream and allowing passionate but lazy types like me to eat without killing things easily. MP Tony Banks, for fighting like hell over 10 years for the promised hunt ban, and probably ultimately killing himself. After winning that ban, might I add. Emma Milne, for her outspoken views on animal rights issues. Beth Ditto, for her outspoken views on everything.
