Has Fox Hunting ever really gone away? You can't tell me for one minute that the hounds haven't caught any foxes since the ban.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Theresa May hopes to bring back fox hunting

So you are against higher earners paying more tax ? shurely it's fairer that high and ultra high earners pay more ? I suppose you heard of the increase in numbers and of wealth of the billionaires based in the country in the last year ? How is it fair that their incomes have surged despite the official austerity imposed on the basic services for social cohesion such as health, education and social care ?

Really odd since public opinion (including rural areas) is against it by quite a margin.
Why waste parliamentary time on that ?
I'm fully expecting Brian May to be appearing on every Breakfast News programme for the next few weeks.

"It's not fair...it's not fair...it,s not fair"..FFS, you sound like a three year old.
Has it not dawned on you yet that the 'billionaires' have an army of accountants to mitigate their tax liabilities. The only people who would be seriously hurt by the £80k threshold would be the army of small business entrepeneurs who create jobs for millions of people. Great idea to totally piss them off and de-motivate them.

You are correct but the numbers are reduced this just legalises very barbaric practices by the country elite

because she can...she supports ( and by inference likes) fox hunting i.e. chasing an animal, terrorising it and then ripping it apart.

Not sure about it not doing her any harm hopefully it will be her downfall. She does support foxhunting and that says a lot about her.

Although I'm now an urban yoghurt knitting liberal I did grow up in the country and my family have never supported it.
Around the time I did a bit of research because I personally found it hypocritical that I could be anti killing the odd animal when I eat meat.
The fox is not an endangered animal after all.
What I was amazed about was not what happened to the fox but to the thousands of dogs that are bred then routinely destroyed very young for simply chasing the odd fox.
What triggered me was the stats given out by the supporters regarding the number of horses and dogs that would need to be destroyed. Hold on I thought ? What happens to them anyway - they can't be homed.
So I don't really waste much time thinking about the issue. Even the egg industry result in god knows how many very deaths of animals that have had the misfortune of being born male. And I love eggs.
But if you support fox hunting at least be honest about it. Every time you tell a story of how you've seen chickens destroyed explain to us what led to those chickens are there in the first place.
For every lamb taken, tell us about how many dogs were destroyed in order to keep the hunt going.
No agenda - just be honest and please don't use the excuse it's about the protection of other animals because it doesn't appear to be.
It's appears to me to be mainly a sport where even if the fox wins, thousands of other animals get put down when their "playing career" is over. Lets have a debate about that.

In certain cases involving a tiny section of murderous crimes where there is absolute zero doubt, i would welcome a return.
I would volunteer for the job as well.
