http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/09...ge-conservative"As it happens personally I have always been in favour of fox hunting and we maintain our commitment. We have had a commitment previously as a Conservative Party to allow a free vote and that’s what it will allow, would allow, Parliament the opportunity to take a decision on this.” - Theresa May PM, 2017. Another reason not to vote for them.

QUOTE (On the edge @ May 12 2017, 12:59 PM) Now then, as to the manifesto, which you clearly haven't read.......... Actually, I have, and despite there being one of two points I agree with they're buried under an avalanche of expensive, badly costed and potentially disastrous drivel designed to appeal to those voters who still believe, and I quote "labour is for the working man". Well, a certain T Blair drove the final nails into that coffin.

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ May 12 2017, 01:16 PM) Hold-on you bleedin' hijackers, this is about Tory toffs in hunting pink killing foxes for fun!!! Yes, you are quite right. They aren't doing it for fun though. Foxes are vermin and have to be controlled. Mind, it's quite astounding that the aristocracy and even members of the Royal Family have vocational qualifications in pest control.

They aren't doing it for fun though. The overwhelming majority of fox hunters are doing it for fun. Any apparent pest control is coincidental.

QUOTE (Turin Machine @ May 12 2017, 02:21 PM) Foxes are vermin and in SOME circumstances need to be controlled, the key point is that this should be done humanely. "The unspeakable in pursuit of the inedible" just about sums it up. 😤 I can agree with that.

Quite, arguably given the other humane methods that have been avaliable for years, they are ALL doing it for fun. I'm pretty sure I'm far from alone in not wanting anyone who feels this repugnant practice to continue to have anything to do with running the Country.

I think if you bothered to find out its people of all hues of the political spectrum who take part in this vile action. I was going to call it a bloodsport but for the life of me I can't see where the 'sport' comes into it.
