Headline in today's NewburyToday: Five Arrested for Suspected Hunting Offences.QUOTE FOUR men and a 13-year-old boy have been arrested on suspicion of hare coursing in West Ilsley.
The arrests come after a gamekeeper reported a group of men with dogs in his fields at 3.25pm on Sunday, October 26.
A 43-year-old from Newport, a 34-year-old man from Reading, a 33-year-old man from Tadley, a 33-year-old man from Southampton and a 13-year-old boy, also from Southampton, were arrested on suspicion of hare coursing, which falls under the Hunting Act. Good. I trust that NewburyToday will be reporting with similar condemnation when the Christmas hunt rides out.

Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

The pro-hunting NWN will, as usual, report it with some relish even though the meet was quite rightly banished from the town many years ago. Somewhere in the back waters of Lambourn now isn't it?

QUOTE (x2lls @ Oct 29 2014, 07:42 PM) I have it on good authority, from within nwn, that if the anti's turned up, that would be reported.. So, have they previously? Yes, but the antis are always reported with a negative bias.
