Says Tony Barnett

"I WAS ALL GEARED UP FOR THE MARCH IN LONDON EARLY MILLENNIA AGAINST THE FOX HUNTING BAN.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN KILLING ANYTHING I CANNOT OR DO NOT WANT TO EAT, MY EARLY EMPLOYMENT WAS AS A SLAUGHTERMAN, SO I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM SHOULD THE NEED ARISE.

MY MAIN REASON FOR TAKING PART IN THE MARCH WAS AGAINST MY RIGHTS TO RIDE TO HOUNDS BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM ME, AND OF COURSE HUNTING WITH DOGS, I HAVE BEEN A SHOOTING, FISHING HARE COURSING FERRETING MAN ALL MY LIFE, I ENJOY EATING WILD GAME, BUT MY REASON FOR JOINING THE MARCH (THAT NEVER TOOK PLACE) WAS FOR THAT REASON ONLY, TO PROTECT A WAY OF LIFE, COUNTRYSIDE PURSUITS, MY RIGHTS.

MY FIGHT AGAINST THE CORRUPT QUANGO'S AND COUNCILS IS MY FIGHT TODAY, AGAIN THIS IS TO PROTECT MY RIGHTS OF OPEN UNIMPEDED ACCESS TO COMMON LAND, IT IS ALSO A FIGHT AGAINST FRAUD AND COLLUSION WHICH IS ENDEMIC AND SUPPORTED BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE, AND THE PRIME MINISTER.

NOW, TOO THE OTHER REASON I AM WRITING, THERE IS A NEED TO BRING OUT INTO THE OPEN NATURAL ENGLAND, THE SECRETARY OF STATE CAROLYN SPELMAN, AND KATRINA SPORLE.

HOW WE PRESENT OURSELVES, HORSEBACK, CARRIAGE OR ON FOOT DEPENDS OF THE CONSENSUS OF OPINION, OR CHOICE, THERE MUST BE AMONGST US LEARNED PEOPLE THAT EITHER RIDE OUT OR ACCESS COMMON LAND AS PEDESTRIANS, THEIR ASSISTANCE IS WELCOME, I LEAVE THAT THOUGHT/SUGGESTION WITH THOSE THAT WISH TO KEEP OUR INHERITANCE OF COMMON LANDS TO CONSIDER, I AM FULLY COMMITTED.
