    Anybody know what the story behind the protest outside the Westwood House Hotel yesterday was about?

    I passed by there around 9 p.m. and spotted two people standing outside with signs that said something like "Shame on Cruel Westwood".

    I'll call that plan B.
    Plan A is be lazy and hope that somebody else knows what was going on.

    I was walking the dog nearby.
    Sign said "Westwood supports fox hunting" I think and the guy was blowing a bugle.

    Quick google:

    Unsurprisingly, my "cruel westwood" and related googling didn't turn up anything

    the hunt ball was there last night, it used to be in the clayton for the last couple of years but they changed venue this year, never heard of or seen any trouble or protests there

    I wonder if this guy can be hired for protests.
    I'm fully convinced he won freedom for the Egyptians single-handedly. Everyone else was just out on the streets to watch him work.
    He'd make short work of any small-town hotel!
