The Right has spent much of the last decade railing against cancel culture, and was arguably winning the debate. It would be a mistake to abandon that position now.

A Good Deed to End Animal Rights July

Animal Rights July ends with a showing of vegan playwright G.F. Newman’s Judge John Deed

Animal Rights July at UCD ends on Wednesday 29th (7.00pm, Theatre ‘N’) with something different. A showing of vegan playwright G.F. Newman’s Judge John Deed (the only high court judge who cares for an ALF-rescued beagle).


The JJD episode to be shown, ‘Everyone’s Child,’ interweaves two powerful animal-related themes, an ‘animal rights hunger striker,’ and a 15-year-old boy, vegetarian since the age of two - and then vegan - who refuses a heart transplant due to his ethical principles. The case of the hunger striker reveals the insider dealing in the ‘corridors of power,’ while Deed has to decide whether he should allow surgeons to operate on the child, Jason Powell, against his will.

G.F. Newman is well-known for his hard-hitting stories of ‘faction.’ He famously exposed routine police corruption in the 1970s, when most treatments of law enforcement officers was in the mould of Dixon of Dock Green, and revealed the problems in the British ‘health service’ in the 1980s.

Animal Rights July organiser, Roger Yates, said, “I wanted to end the month with something out of the ordinary - nevertheless, this is an extremely powerful and thought-provoking drama. As a real bonus, Judge John Deed creator, writer, and producer, Gordon Newman, has very kindly agreed to introduce the film himself live via Skype, so I am very hopeful we can finalise the details for the day. This will be a fine end to our Animal Rights July programme.”
