Maggie's Farm

Mr. Robin Page. From The Telegraph:

Mr Page, 64, a farmer, conservationist, columnist for The Daily Telegraph, and the chairman of the Countryside Restoration Trust, became the focus of police attention after his comments at a country fair in September 2002.

He claims that in order to gain the attention of listeners at the gathering in Frampton-upon-Severn, Glos, he started in a "light-hearted fashion".

His opening remark was: "If you are a black, vegetarian, Muslim, asylum-seeking, one-legged lesbian lorry driver, I want the same rights as you."

Mr. Page was later arrested for a hate crime, but eventually vindicated - and compensated. The story was linked by a disgusted Mr. Free Market in a piece on "white flight" from the cities, in England.
