Foxy music

Her son has had his day in the House of Commons (albeit briefly and uninvited). Now Lucy Ferry, the former wife of Roxy Music singer Bryan and the mother of the pro-hunting protester Otis, has had her day in court.

Her son has had his day in the House of Commons (albeit briefly and uninvited). Now Lucy Ferry, the former wife of Roxy Music singer Bryan and the mother of the pro-hunting protester Otis, has had her day in court. And it was quite a performance. There can be no doubting the sincerity of Ms Ferry, when she vowed yesterday to "topple Blair" over the fox-hunting ban, but it is hard to see her succeeding where thousands of anti-war marchers, a fleet of fuel protesters and a couple of leaders of Her Majesty's Opposition have failed. That really would be something out of the blue.
