excellent. countryide alliance just got a minor scuffle in westminster.

been following this a while, really loved the American network pictures that went out of padded sleeveless jacket type twin set girlies holding plackards which read-
"Arrest us if you dare Tony Blair!"
wow eh?
Of all the slogans I've seen used or subverted by us lot in our most myriad forms never seen an "Arrest us if you dare!"
Would be cool no? "Fine me Mangan - if you dare!"

To coincide with the House of Commons debate on outlawing people forming bands of horsemounted drunken monsters and galloping over the countryside accompanied by hounds to find a fox,
10,000 people
(pronounced "ten thaisand") were expected to assemble in Parliament Square London and by 4pm the Metropolitan police had been given the all clear to break a few faces.

Tony Blair's man on this said hunt supporters had [check this out class warriors]
"no right to indulge in civil disobedience",


wow eh?

nor, for example, to deny the Ministry of Defence access to land for training purposes as a form of protest at the hunting bill.
whilst outside protesters were heard to say-
"I think Tony Blair's a wankah, and I'm not allowing the damn squaddies fire bally ordinance over my land evah evah again!"

Mr Blair's man continues- "Those who suggest that they should frustrate the work of the armed forces, or indulge in protests of a disruptive sort, should recognise that there is one place to make changes of this sort, and that is the ballot box. "

line up you revolutionaries!

The Countryside Alliance has warned that thousands of rural jobs would disappear among those who earn their living servicing the hunt, including grooms, vets, blacksmiths, feed merchants and farriers.

Yes I kid you not.
- The farriers jobs are on the line.
[Most Irish farriers are employed by the armed forces by the way, the British ones]

The Countryside Alliance interestingly said this morning (before the bloody noses) that today's protest is "no longer just about hunting". No quite darling it's a way of life.
