Well news is what I do, so there is opposition out there, the one lone green party MP Caroline Lucas is speaking out against it, calling it "environmental vandalism" which it is of course.

Nice people. Don't like being photographed eh? I wonder why?

Supporters of hunting are such bare faced liars, here's my local MP in the paper about what he was told on the doorsteps:

"the impression I got was that a very few people felt passionately and when they did, passion was evenly divided between those who felt strongly in favour of hunting and those who felt strongly against. "

Evenly divided?
99.9% of people round here don't go hunting. Why would half of them be strongly in favour of it?

PS, I've just realised it's tricky wording isn't it? "Those who are passionate are split 50-50" which enables him to avoid mentioning that those who are less passionate are still overwhelmingly anti-hunting - and on that basis he's going to vote to repeal the Hunting Act.

Just watched that, and actually saw it in action on Monday. I was a passenger in a car and I would have felt very intimidated had I got out - I did however take about four or five clear photos which I haven't decided what to do with yet. One of them shows a child of about 10 on a small pony ... my friend said that they go out under the guise of drag hunting where they lay a trail for the hounds to follow - if a fox gets in the way then bad luck foxy.

I found this youtube clip while I was looking for something else - some nice foxy images.
