comanche 3,076 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) I was there on em .On one march while walking in the shadow of a far better dog-man than I we were approached by a chap with a microphone . My companion knew that whatever he said would be punctuated by F and C words so I was the one that was sacrificially put forward for an interveiw . Everything went into blank overdrive and to this day I can't remember what I said but apparently the chaps around me approved ...and I did'nt swear . On another march our group was targetted by a couple of reporters because we'd fabricated a straw effigy of good old Tony B. Last I saw of it was hanging on some railings .

skycat 6,174 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I got squashed against a 7 foot tall nasty copper when they stopped part of the march going into Parliament Square: the b*****d told me to get back, but how could I? With thousands behind me: idiot cops. I took one of my lurchers to the vigil in the Square as well: she loved every moment of it, bless her: never even been in a town before but wasn't phased at all.

events co-ordinator 353 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Been to all the Scottish marches from Inverness to the rally in Glasgow and a lot of the Parliamentry sessions in the Scottish Parliament (I had to get permission to miss school). I was also at the Liberty and Livelyhood march and spent the weekend going from function to function we were at the vigil at Parliament square We got invited to the Luddon Valley Bassets hunt dinner, went to Baroness Mallieus coctail party then the dance at the arches then up early to get the Scottish working Dog Association banner up at Hyde Park corner to welcome the member clubs in as they came to march.What a weekend that was!

Too right Butty,... When we was singing the Welsh Anthem,.and remembering all the great days and nights out hunting, over the years,..I actually thought, just for one brief moment,.that we were going to win the day... Sadly,..the dice had already been thrown.. It was never meant to be a fair fight... Feck em,..our life will go on... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boyo 1,398 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 that day we did win if only to show those two faced liars called mps that we would always fight for the right to do what our kind have done for decades and although the ban came in to force i still pssionately beleive that that day in london showed the country that we would not take it lying down or go along with it which in one way has been proved right as there are still hunting in all forms going on so bollocks to blair and his poxy ban.BAN WHAT BAN.
