Lucy Ferry, mother of Commons protestor Otis Ferry, claimed yesterday that she and her fellow hunt protestors could bring down the government.

Clad in Gucci sunglasses and designer clothes, Ferry was addressing a London court, where she was appearing to plead guilty to a charge of blocking the entrance to Parliament Square with a car last Wednesday.

When asked by the district judge, if she had anything to say, Ferry said:"I am very angry and so are thousands and thousands of other people. This bill is an attack on the freedom of a minority of people. We are disgusted by Mr Blair's lies and we can bring this government down."

Mike Hobday, spokesman for the League Against Cruel Sports, said: "How exactly does Lucy Ferry plan to bring down the government?

"I hope she realises she will have to do more than block a road.

"There are some people in this country who think they are above democracy. Lucy Ferry has a huge ego without the common sense to match."
