Not sure what ou mean LePaul but I do know this. It will not be taken quietly. As an understanding person posted earlier there are far more pressing issues to be dealt with; i.e. education, health, pensions.

This bill reminds me of a local paper which posted the story of an angry neighbour protesting about an olympic gold medal shotgunner.

She didn't like the noise.

Needless to say, she bloody won the court case.

"the reason it is being banned it because the vast majority of the nation want it to be.

democracy anyone?"

this is the democracy they speak of when they say that democracy is 3 wolves and a lamb all voting on what to eat for dinner.

Sounds like someone's legislating morality again.

You just summed Tony Blair's approach to government, Shuckins. You win a prize.

You are obviously poorly informed on the matter. They don't use bloodhounds.

They use ... wait for it ...

...foxhounds.

Fox hunting is more horsemanship than hunting. It's not hunting where the fox is killed. That's just stupid. Why? You can't eat it..

Is this any better?

the law is a load of bollocks

you are allowed to fox hunt as long as there are only two hounds

you can also hunt deer, but only with two dogs

you can also hunt hare and rabbit, you guessed it, but only with two dogs

In effect, the law says that the only people effected are the "upper class" who meet regularly, dress in red tunics, cry tally ho and chase over the fields with a pack of hounds to kill a fox.

If you shoot a fox and just injure it, you can chase it with hounds to your hearts content.

This is a class law, it's designed to reign in the upper class and teach them a lesson, can anyone say miners strike ? It's revenge pure and simple .......
