      Do you honestly believe that the hunting ban only affected the upper classes? The people that got hit really hard by that are the low paid country workers that lost their jobs and ended up with nothing to do because there aren't that many options out in the country.

      The hunting ban was a bunch of city twats who don't know how the country works, or understand the people that live there flexing their muscles and trying to take the moral high ground. Hunts provide lots of jobs to poor people in the country, and keep the levels of foxes down to a managable level which helps out farmers.

          This is true. I know hunting people, and the riders aren't all posh or well-off either.

            I don't know, you complain when Labour are right wing, you complain when they're left-wing. No pleasing some people.

              All sounds familiar somehow. Very soon the middle class and intellectuals will be forced to dig ditches.

              Yeh, hunting sorts I knew weren't posh either. Still total barstewards tho.

                I definitely remember something like this. Labour said children of graduates unfairly benefit from having clever parents.
                Or in their case will be disadvantaged now?

                    The Labour masterplan is to bankrupt the country making everybody poor and then sell themselves as the party to help the poor. What a masterstroke !!!

                      a bit like that guy who shot both his parents dead, and at his trial appealed to the court for clemency on the grounds that he was an orphan ...
