The Thrill Of It All: "Bryan Ferry's Son Lunges at Tony Blair"
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,155919,00.html

LONDON — The fox-hunting son of rocker Bryan Ferry (search) was arrested after he lunged at Prime Minister Tony Blair (search).

Otis Ferry (search), 22, reached over a barrier and shouted at the prime minister as he arrived Friday for a postelection party at London's National Portrait Gallery.

"I've had enough of this government," Ferry said as he was taken away by police. The son of the former Roxy Music (search) singer is a keen advocate of hunting with hounds, which was banned earlier this year after a long and divisive debate.

He and four other protesters charged onto the floor of the House of Commons during a debate on hunting in September, one of a series of security lapses at the seat of Britain's government.

1. He's pissed about the hunting ban? Is he OK about killing innocent Iraqis
WOW, maybe he should enlist and work in Iraq with dogs?

2. He's a Tory buttplug.
Fuck him and his way-past-relevant dad.

I hope he gets mauled by a radioactive fox.

a wodnerful musician raises a son to be a political activist. Regretabbly, he isn't pissed because of 100,000 war dead - no, he's pissed because he can no longer waste Daddy's money watching his dawgs tear a fox to pieces while he dresses up funny to have a cocktail on a better horse than he can competently ride.

lovely.

4. He's a twat
of the highest order.

Storming fucking parliament to hunt with dogs.

Him and his toff mates have just realised they don't rule the country anymore and there pissed off big time and don't know how to participate in a democracy.


On the other hand as much as i detest hunting an animal down for fun, i'm sick of Labour banning everything, and intruding on peoples personal lives.

As a libertarian Socialist i reluctantly and through grinding teeth support the hunting cause.

6. I don't really follow the issue
because I am an arrogant American and it doesn't apply to me so it can't possibly matter :). Actually, I have read a lot about it and can see both perspectives but the brutality of it leads me to say fox huntings time has come and gone. Because its an emotional reflex I'm truly glad I don't have to worry about - we don't do much fox hunting here in the Midwestern US.

This kid just reminds me that the passing down of family fortune should be outlawed. Bush is another fine example.

7. Like father, like son
If powdered wigs, chamber pots, and snuffboxes were back in style, Bryan Ferry would be hip to all of them. And as for his son, let's just say the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.

F them both. And this is from a Roxy Music fan.
