QUOTE (spartacus @ May 16 2017, 09:47 PM) Why does the fox hunting thing irk the hoi polloi so much? Would you rather he was into banger racing and hare coursing? Your grasp of Greek articles irks me, blood sports disgust and distress me.

Stunning animals is the least we can do as meat eaters. Not many foxes. Millions more animals killed for meat by halal. Or is this just a class thing? Just wondered...

Would you rather he was into banger racing and hare coursing? banger racing? - Yes, fine hare coursing? - No, certainly not. And that's illegal too. QUOTE (spartacus @ May 16 2017, 09:47 PM) Do you want halal banned? Yes. 1. Killing animals for fun ("Sport") is wrong. 2. The ritual killing of animals is wrong.

Kill a fox an the chattering classes go on the rampage. Kill a million sheep by cutting their throats an letting them bleed to death and there's a deafening silence! And we're all eating it, you, (not me, I'm veggie) your kids, your grandkids, all being force fed the stuff just so we can appease the liberal elite.

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ May 16 2017, 01:21 PM) Obviously he isn't all bad, but I had forgotten some of his decisions, not least the council settlement where he abstained from voting (which in this instance is crude way of supporting the motion). It doesn't say, but I bet he supports hunting foxes with hounds too. http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/news/news/17...uents-down.html https://www.facebook.com/Dont-Vote-Benyon-454911871519138/ So who do people vote for then? Lib-Dems, which are a waste of space, long with Labour. Whatever you think of Benyon he is the best option.

The same Russell Brand who lives in a £3 million pound house by the Thames and who has just had a new indoor pool and sauna installed. Don't see too much equality with the masses there.

That will depend on what your political persuasion is and what is important to you. Against my better judgement, I'm inclined to vote Lib Dem simply because of the PM's approach to hunting wildlife with hounds.

I think there are more important things to worry about. Such as; do you want Corbyn or May?
