Are you really telling us that you believe most of Britain's
country-dwellers attended that march?

The marchers represented their own view; they very obviously did not
represent the views of those absent rural-dwellers who chose not to

I think the numbers present surprised the government which is why,
reportedly, Tony Blair had hoped that a ban would not be in place before the
next general election.
It seems to be quite possible to say that many who *would* have supported
them *could* not be there.
