Please don't take offence at my following remark Coleen, but it is my belief that people like yourselves have allowed this march to be a "pro hunting" march.

I'll bet all the FFA members don't carry pro hunting banners. The march is for all country people – why don't you come along and carry a banner to the effect of save our schools, transport etc. It is not compulsory to carry a pro hunting banner. The people that march carry the banner of their choice and if nobody bothers to do that then it will be just a pro hunting demonstration. Come on Coleen, we need more "Save our countryside" marchers, then the hunting lot will be in a minority.

If we country folk don't stick together now and make ourselves heard then we deserve to lose what little we might still have. Archie and I both lost nine months work because of FMD – although obviously we were nowhere near as badly hit as livestock farmers, we still had no money at all coming in. We can ill afford the £90.00 it is costing us but we feel that if we didn't go, we'd just be one of the rest of the apathetic lot that now live in this country. If you feel strongly enough about an issue, then at least try and do something about it.

This will probably be my last march, I too am becoming very disillusioned. I feel, as a non farmer that I have wasted a lot of time, energy and hard earned cash fighting their corner when they don't even bother to get off their backsides to help themselves. This march is for Livelihood and Liberty. Foxhunting is a very small issue.
