Oh but it has, I would say this group aren't really interested in Wheelbarrow racing/Foodbanks as such, this was done to 'block the hunt' and they're now full of glee about it on their facebook pages.

Definately more quick thinking.

How stupid do you have to be to forget to apply for something you do every year. twats.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I think they are a corrupt bunch of cronies but don´t feel the need for such venom.

When their arrogant and cruel actions have brought hardship and misery to many decent hardworking people it’s no surprise there’s such venom.

This is what Lewes has now.

The political representation on Lewes District Council is:
Green - 17 councillors
Liberal Democrats - 15 councillors
Labour - 9 councillors

Not a single Tory....reckon this lot are about as anti Hunt as you can get.

My opinion which no doubt will not go down well with most NSC ers. Is the Hunt meeting at Christmas is a spectacle and a tradition I would like to continue.
Also I prefer the supporters of the hunt (not the Hunters) to most (and again not all) of the Saboteurs

Do you feel that you’re missing out as you can’t ’tug your forelock’ to the Lord of the manner.

Has #teamwheelbarrowrace won yet?

One of my best photos - so I might as well take the opportunity to post it! This was the 'Fight For the Fox' when Cameron tried to have a vote on making hunting lawful again. And then, when it became clear that he was going to lose the vote - he pulled the debate on the morning it was going to happen. A clear indication of his running away from difficulty habit that so clearly later manifested itself the day after losing the Brexit vote.

Whilst we're posting pictures, as good as your shot is Bodian, I think my one just trumps it as there's anti Tory signs in the image

Do you feel you are missing out with your lack of understanding of the English language?

But do you understand or even feel any venom for Blair lying about weapons in Iraq?
Both were terribly wrong and Blair the "nice guy" has earned millions since then the *****.

Nice whataboutery.

I didn’t agree with the weapons in Iraq lies and also student fees for that matter. But to equate this to the wholesale, widespread and systematic lies, corruption, abuse of power, provocation and just plain meanness of the past few Tory years is nonsense.

What can I say … a typo. How’s the forelock?

I have seen so many posts from you about all sorts of subjects and have come to the conclusion that you must be an arrogant person who is the leading authority on everything including pretentious beer and wine tastes.
Think I have read enough of your posts so will ignore your s***e in future.

Not so sure it's a case of them being stupid. Just a case of them being so f**king arrogant that they think the road on that day is automatically 'theirs' as it is a tradition.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Maybe the Southdown and Eridge Hunt can have their little meet elsewhere this Boxing Day…..Southdowns in the middle of a field or even Eridge.

I provided a reasonable explanation, you provide this. Why can’t you provide a sensible response to my post? Do you have one?

PS when have I ever claimed to be an authority on wine? I have always said the opposite if anything.
PPS a leading authority on everything including alcohol to, er, more alcohol ……now that’s a very broad list isn’t it?

Somewhat disputed, but it's tradition innit

During the Burns Inquiry, which ultimately led to the Hunting Act, the Countryside Alliance admitted that hunts would ‘remove’ 3000 foxhounds, or an average of 16 hounds per pack, before the 2000/01 hunting season. It also said that the number for other types of hunts would be proportionally similar. And that hunts would kill about 10% of this number of hound pups.

Looking at how many are killed, POWA’s calculations suggested between 4942 and 7302 foxhounds killed per year across 195 packs, with approximately 3250 to 4500 of those in English and Welsh hunts. These approximate to 15% of hounds killed per pack. For one specific example, Hunting Leaks’s 2020 documents from the Mendip Farmers Hunt describe the hunt having killed 6.5 couple, or 13 hounds, between April and June of that year. This translates to roughly 16%.

This is the issue. Let’s stick with it.

And this - Peers renowned in fox-hunting circles, stalling and filibustering out a Bill that would ban imports of trophy hunting into the UK - Anyone who thinks this isn’t the landed gentry of the UK protecting their private and commercial interests in hunting should think again:

“The core group of filibusters represent the UK hunting fraternity. Chief among them and the de facto leader of those opposed to the Bill is Lord Mancroft who resisted the fox hunting legislation a few years ago. While most are not trophy hunters themselves they do represent the overall industry. Also it is no secret there is a lot of funding from the hunting industry. The pro-hunting Peers have been actively lobbied especially from ‘scientists’ with known financial affiliations with the hunting industry.”

Many of these Peers in the HoL own vast Grouse-shooting estates shored up by millions of pounds from British taxpayers or private land upon which they make money from hunting. The majority of Peers traditionally vote against the abolition of hunting with dogs or the ban of trail hunting and carry out illegal hunting on privates estates where it is difficult to get access.

STOP CELEBRATING THE BRUTAL WORLD OF FOX HUNTING.

Fox hunting is barbaric, cruel and should be banned for good, not celebrated.

Peers amend Hunting Bill - Horse & Hound

The House of Lords voted a series of amendments that turn the hunt ban into a licensing system when the Hunting Bill reached its committee stage today

Disgraced out of fox hunting? Back trophy hunting instead.

Lord Mancroft led a group of peers trying to scupper the trophy hunting bill
