ROBIN PAGE
Vocal countryside campaigner Robin Page had the following to say in the Daily Torygraph:
Last year I was threatened with prosecution again, simply for saying that country people should have the same rights and protection under the law as other minorities in Britain's multi-cultural society.
For my trouble I was arrested, put in a police cell and interviewed under caution by the Gloucestershire Constabulary. They produced no evidence; no law had been broken, but they had recieved a "complaint". I was not charged.
What a strange world we live in that Mr Page could be arrested for stating the facts. Beseiged rural people deserve to have rights like any other minority..
