Families 4 Hunting surprise John Prescott in Yorkshire

Twenty representatives of Families 4 Hunting ambushed John Prescott as he visited a Flower Show in Yorkshire last Thursday.


Representatives from several local packs and coursing clubs attended the demonstration which was organised by Julie Nelson from the Hunsley Beacon Beagles. The group surprised the Deputy Prime Minister as he left the event when, surrounded by journalists, they threw off their coats to reveal pink F4H t-shirts and 59% posters!

The ambush was greeted with lots of media interest and it provided an excellent opportunity for spokespeople to ridicule the local MPs who had signed the Early Day Motion. Interviews were conducted with three local radio stations and four local papers. Congratulations to all involved!
