'this is a peace fair, nothing to do with animal rights' says organiser

What may be officially called 'West London Peace Market':

but at first sight looks no more than a posh car boot sale has a fur stall right by the entrance. When I asked the organiser what it was doing there he told me that peace has nothing to do with animal rights. Sad to say the demographic of stallholders is at least 'middle aged' and white; I'm not sure how selling tat to each other on a village green is going to change anything, especially with a fur stall by the main entrance.
