From BBC News:
"Up to 2,300 pro- and anti-hunt campaigners staged a demonstration, some holding flares, and many blowing whistles and horns."
following a helpful member of her majesty's finest 'advising' me to avoid Parliament Sq last night, the copters and siren wailing riot police vans were too tempting so I went to see what it was all about. V disappointed at what it was. Yes, they were very noisy (bloody bugles). Yes, there were flares (fucken designer clothing). No, there were not 2,300 people there. Hmmm "Up to". I'd be surprised if there was even 500.
But, what I'd like to know is why they seem to have adopted the confederate flag? Do the really hardcore protesters wave swastikas?
