It's Bryan Ferry's son.
For those who don't know he is one of the guys who invaded the houses of parliament over the hunting ban; now in prison without bail over an alleged confiscation of an antis camera.
A mAn prepared to stand up for what he believes in against the fascist scum in power.
I have apprehended a few serious thieves and thugs myself over the years, and none have got more than a caution. Otis is being made an example of ...he is therefore a political prisoner.
In the words of Martin Niemöller
"In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up."
When Labour came to power they banned fur faming without doing any research on welfare on the grounds of 'public morality'. This was a serious breach of constitutional law, and set a dangerous precedent. They then set about ignoring thier own report on foxhunting in which 600 vets signed a document affirming hunting with hounds was not cruel. They brought it into law with a flagrant abuse of the parliament act.The Nazis, I may remind everyone, also banned foxhunting on an animal rights agenda. Himmler actually invented the phrase animal rights in an SS article.
The Nazis also banned smoking in public, using the same absurd so called evidence used today. Labour have also done this.
Here is Professor Mark Almond of Oxford university one of the leading modern history academics warning of this parallel.

Since then of course we have had bans on burkhas, unbelievable surveillance intrusions, talk of detention extensions and I/D cards, police arresting mps and searchng their offices without a warrant. etc etc.
Now we face perhaps the most outrageous law ever to be passed in the UK. From january the 26th it will be illegal to own/take a photograph in which the model is depicted apparently suffering violence intmidaton or imprisonment eg bondage. THis will impact things like the vast majority of people interested in mild consensal s and m and models who make living from providing such imgagery....and that is why people like fashion designer vivienne westwood's son of Agent provocateur which plays on mild fetish stuff is leading the fight aganst it.
AS AN ARTIST THIS IS AN OUTRAGEOUS INFRINGEMENT OF OUR RIGHT TO PRODUCE IMAGERY AND OUR FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.
It means this shoot done by Nick Horler for example for my model Bridie's website will be illegal...and its just mild erotic fun. But because it looks like a 'victim' is havng her throat ripped out it will be deemed illegal.
Make no mistake about it this government is fascist.
I find it an absolute disgrace that people in a racing forum can possibly think that there can be any separation of foxhunting and National HUNT racing. Every jumps jockey owes their apprenticeship to exploits in the hunting field; and most retired horses still like an outing and find fullfilling retirement thanks to it.
SO DON'T EXPECT US TO DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS BECAUSE WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU THERE WILL NO ONE LEFT TO SPEAK UP FOR YOU.
SO I stand shoulder to shoulder with Otis Ferry; and again invite those of you who care about hard fought for freedoms to join us.
