London lobby shows strength of countryside lobby

THE Government last night offered a series of concessions to rural Britain after the Countryside March brought 250,000-284,500 people to London.

Described as the biggest protest since the CND marches of the early 1980s, the Government was obviously shaken by the level of disdain from country voters.
