Robin Page, who hosted TV's One Man And His Dog, fought a five-year campaign to clear his name after being locked up in a cell for his jokey introduction to a pro-hunting speech.
He told a meeting in Framptonupon-Severn, Gloucestershire, in 2002: "If you are a black, vegetarian, Muslim, asylum-seeking, onelegged lesbian lorry driver, I want the same rights as you."
"I believe I have scored a significant victory over the ludicrous and sinister, politically-correct 'hate crime' culture that is currently doing so much to prevent free speech in this country. It is absolutely outrageous," said Mr. Page.
Indeed.
It is great to see Robin Page refusing to repent to the PC thugs, and not taking the recently fashionable route - a la Gillian Gibbons and PC Rob Murrie - of making groveling, sniveling apologies for any "offense" caused. And it's good to see justice prevailing in the end.
