Last week our reporter joined ten others at a training day in an office in Dalston, a trendy enclave of East London, to prepare for the protest. One of the plot ringleaders, Rose Patterson, boasted that the Grand National stunt would have worldwide impact. The 33-year-old was arrested in February after she and four others blocked Westminster Bridge. She was also one of several activists carried out of Scott's last month. Stressing the information was 'secret', she said: 'Basically the kick-off action for this whole campaign is going to be at the Grand National. The biggest horse race in the world... We have 600 million people viewing this horse race worldwide, we've got £300 million of bets on the horse race and we're just going to ruin it.' After clearing away the office chairs, the group were instructed to sit on the wooden floor with their eyes closed and link arms. Ms Patterson then began reading from a script in an exercise designed to prepare the protesters for the intensity of holding a hugely disruptive protest in front of a hostile crowd. As she described how the Aintree protest would unfold, a soundtrack of rowdy spectators was played in the background. 'You feel the nerves in your stomach and feel butterflies and anxious and sick as the minibus is driving to the final location,' Ms Patterson said. 'After about an hour ... it's time to get out of the bus. You put on your pink animal-rising T-shirt and all your fellow [protesters] get out of the truck.' She then revealed how some of the demonstrators would use ladders to scale Aintree's perimeter fence, while others would use bolt cutters to cut a hole in the fence to crawl through. 'There are like 100 of you now at the fence. You get the ladders out. Put them against the fence and you're the first one over,' she said. 'YoU start climbing that fence and you see security on the other side. You don't care. You know you're doing the right thing. And others cutting through the fence and climbing through.' The activists were told that once on the course they would glue their hands together before sitting down to form a human barrier. As Ms Patterson continued her description, loud jeering and booing erupted on the crowd noise recording.
