500 country sports supporters stopped
traffic in Central London between 2 and 3 pm today by sitting down in the
road outside Westminster.
Police kept a watching brief and
diverted traffic as a good natured but determined crowd moved onto the
carriageway near the St Stevens entrance and sat down. At 3 pm, in
response to a short speech from Countryside Action Network spokesman,
Janet George, the crowd quickly dispersed back to the pavement as Big Ben
struck the hour.
Janet George said: "This was
an 'indicative protest'! Hunt supporters are sick and tired of being used
as a political football. Jobs, homes, and a whole way of life is under
threat and the Government should be in NO doubt about our readiness to
fight for our freedom.
