Repeal the Fox Hunt Ban

So it sounds like, with a large Tory majority, we'll get a repeal of the fox hunt ban.

Always a senseless piece of legislation that Blair later regretted, unenforceable, infringes on civil liberties and doesn't resolve the fact that many foxes die slow and painful death anyway (traps, low calibre rifles), but is a necessity of countryside life.

The ban was always focussed on some bizarre notion of (an urban perception of) class with a thinly veiled excuse of needing to be more humane to foxes.

Given all the frightening consequences the pro hunters made up (hundreds of dead horses, packs of hounds put down en masse, countryside a desert of unemployment ) I think it has been remarkably successful. The hunts still thrive, the cruelty has gone, most of protest has ended. A good result all round, just leave it be.

The quality of trolling is veryy low at the moment. It won't get repealed. Not all torys are murderous thugs.

Trolling? Not at all, it's an important point that's tied in with the election. I'm all for repealing the ban.

Smarter than a person (when I say person, read twat-monger) who doesn't even have a basic grasp of English. You not write that English very well.
