IF Mr GK Herbert of Linley Green believes the views of the British population regarding foxhunting is represented by half a million people attending a countryside march, then he should return to his abacus which is as outdated as his opinion.

Does he not realise that there are nearly 60 million people in Britain which means that the 5.5 million silent democratic majority were not in Trafalgar Square in March last year.
