I've got better things to do than harass people who have got the guts to defy the Blair regime, whatever their cause, it's their choice.

Deep-sea fishers may also join the Countryside Alliance to defend their livlihoods which are under threat for suspect and spurious reasons.

When will you clueless city-dwellers join the fray and stop preventing a potential revolution, when your jobs and homes are seized too?

For the Pro foxhunter above - fuck off you lying TOFF!! ;) All the aristos, former army officers, judges, etc who go hunting are going to be criminals and WE're gonna arrest you!!

Any person can arrest someone who:

1) is committing an arrestable offence, or

2) has committed an arrestable offence

according to the OB themselves:

Congratulations on your intelligent reply to the news of the Countryside Alliance protest. How reassuring that you feel you can run the country better than "a lot of old army officers and judges" but can offer no useful or informative criticism, merely profanities. I suggest if you wish to do better than the people who do have authority in this country you read a book, learn to construct an argument and direct your anger more constructively than merely insulting everyone you believe to be different from yourself.
