If a few people can earn a living out of it and a few countyfolk can get their weekly sadistic fix without having to torture peasants then so what?The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Well done the Tories. Fox hunting is more popular than ever due to the removal of the barbaric element of the "sport". This has a knock-on in the prosperity of the rural economy.
Remove the ban and adversely impact the rural economy. Smart move!

but why not
I hit a pheasant at 150 kph on the autobahn yesterday. It damaged the grille on the car and then the poor creature's head got caught in the Mercedes star on the bonnet, which ripped the head off and, like a slingshot, fired the body of the pheasant several metres into the air, as I saw in the rear view mirror, before it crashed to earth somewhere behind me. I drove on with the head still stuck in the 3 pointed star and a little eye staring at me until I could get to a services and remove it.Last edited by Mich the Tester; 23 November 2009, 20:42.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

When the Tories get in next year I hope in addition to letting us toffs kill vermin again we can stick some chavs up chimneys. Let's get the Great back into Britain.Comment

Instead of re-introducing fox hunting, how about we create a new sport? We could call it "Harman hunting".
I quite fancy the idea of seeing that crazy, man-hating weirdo torn limb from limb from a pack of hounds before she can do any more damage....
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment
