He has done wrong and will have to take the consequences but it has gone beyond

He has done wrong and will have to take the consequences, but it has gone beyond hunting now, it’s about civil liberties. His parents said they were proud of their son.Marcia Wakeham, 63, who lives on the imposing Braham Estate, said she was unaware of any plans to infiltrate the Commons, and confessed she had been worried about him. He is a professional huntsman employed by the Ledbury Hunt and would “lose his home, his job and his whole career”, according to Mr Haden.The point-to-point jockey Richard Wakeham, 36, is from an aristocratic family in Yorkshire. We look up to him and admire him for what he has done.”Out of the eight who were arrested after the breach of security, Mr Holliday is most likely to lose his livelihood when the ban comes into force in 2006.
He not only went to the hunt but also to a funeral afterwards to blow his horn as the coffin was lowered to the grave, sounding the same note as when a fox has gone to ground.”He’s going to be a local hero for years to come. It was astounding that they could have got in with no professional planning,” he added.Meanwhile, another of the arrested men, John Holliday, 38, a member of the Ledbury Hunt in Herefordshire, travelled through the night from London to attend a 6am hunt, and was due to attend a hunt today as part of a local festival.Donald Haden, a former master of the Ledbury Hunt, said Mr Holliday had become a “local hero” and was warmly welcomed by the close-knit hunting community.”He got no sleep whatsoever. It was literally put together very, very quickly by eight people.”We just wanted to make a point and make it as strongly as we could, but it was put together literally on the back of an envelope 24 hours before. He was joined by two scantily clad models supplied by The Sun, and a latex shark.Won’t you be glad when it’s all over?Not as glad as Charles Kennedy, Tony Blair and Michael Howard.. The plot to storm the House of Commons was hatched the previous day “on the back of an envelope”, according to one of the eight protesters arrested for the breach of security. And The Independent is hosting a debate on how the Tories could win the election on the same day at 1pm at the Highcliff with Sir Malcolm Rifkind, John Redwood and David Cameron, the latter two having both been promoted to the Shadow Cabinet.But it’s all spin, isn’t it?The most disastrous photo-opportunity was Neil Kinnock’s slip in the sea on the pebbly beach at Brighton in October 1983 that did for him politically.
But check out the Campaign Group gig on Wednesday too with Tony Benn, the singer Billy Bragg and Kevin Curran of the GMB at the Ramada Jarvis Hotel on the seafront.Europe still provides a fault-line for the Tories, and the Policy Exchange fringe at the Royal Bath Hotel on 4 October with Francis Maude and David Curry could cause a tremor. The star turn at the Tribune rally this year will be Peter Hain.The Independent is hosting the best fringe with Charles Clarke, Stephen Byers, Ed Balls and Robin Cook on 27 September at the Metropole on a radical third term. It is shaping up for a rematch in Brighton between Brown and Blair, with Prescott again holding the coats. Mr Blair’s decision to recall Alan Milburn from his family to take over the election strategy from Mr Brown is almost certain to set off another bout of the Tee-Bee-Gee-Bees Tuesday is the leader’s speech.
