Follow on from London protest
Henry | 16.09.2004 13:18
Following the actions yesterday in Parliment Square the activist community may wish to know what is coming up next.
Some 15,000 were in the Square yesterday which considering it was mid-week is a remarkable number but this is just the beginning. At least 20 more central London events are planned before the end of the year with 10 of these at weekends where the numbers are expected to be much, much higher.
Following the example of others a number of "visits" to individuals promoting a ban are expected. These will include pro-ban MP's (four were visited yesterday), officers of the League Against Cruel Sports at their homes, Hunt Sab offices and organisations who have failed to support Hunting despite deriving income from it.
This attack on the rights of Country people by an envious, scared government that should be dealing with other more important issues is a disgrace and will be resisted.
Even if you don't support Hunting (and we can easily illustrate why you should) support us as we show how the government is using the Hunting legislation to detract attention from the real issues facing the British people.
The Hunting community is resolute, well financed and committed. Blair may well try to intimidate us with strong Police tactics (hitting 16 year girls on the head for example) but he will not win.
Join us, support Country people, ignore the ignorant who will try and tell you that Hunting is only practised by "toffs", come to a Hunt and meet the ordinary working class people who are having their lives destroyed by this legislation.
Learn the truth.
