Richard Dodd, a regional director of the Countryside Alliance;

Last week around 300 of us turned up outside Tony Blair's home in Trimdon Colliery, County Durham. We were shouting and blowing hunting horns ... Word came back that a few of us would be allowed in to speak to him and we had 20 minutes with him, talking about hunting over a cup of tea.
If we had written to him asking for a meeting we would have had no chance. Direct action clearly works and I think we will be doing more of it.
