Not going to say much about the recent protest in Stony Stratford as Dick Puddlecote has said pretty much everything that needed to be said. The turnout seemed to be predominantly local – though the record for furthest travelled must got to a chap over from Russia. The anger both at the proposed ban and the councillor in question was quite pronounced. For a very sodden Saturday morning the turnout seemed really quite respectable, and the atmosphere was very friendly and sociable. The general message did seem to encompass more than just the local ban, and reflect a growing dislike of the restriction of civil liberties, but then again it was a very self selecting group.
I’ve a few photo’s up on Flickr. Due to unfamiliarity with my little video camera I’ve caught neither all of the speeches nor all of the speeches I did capture. However for what it’s worth what I did get can be found here:

David Odell:

As ever was good to meet up with the usual rag tag crew of malcontents that seem to frequent these things.
Was good to see you there, and thanks for posting the vids. Between us and the local cameraman, we’re piecing the speeches together bit by bit lol.
Thanks for organizing it, sterling job there sir. Next time I might have got the hang of the video camera.
