Back in November, I wrote briefly about the case of Daily Telegraph columnist and hunt supporter Robin Page. Page gave a speech saying, among other things, that the minority of rural folk in Great Britain should be accorded the same rights as Jews, Muslims and other minority groups.
The British government responded by arresting Page and charging him with stirring up racial hatred, even though the Prince of Wales himself had made a similar argument in a letter obtained by The Telegraph.
In January, police determined they had insufficient evidence to prosecute Page and dropped all charges against him. Page told The Daily Telegraph that he is exploring legal action against police for defamation and unlawful detention.
