Tory council hands £50k of Covid-19 bailouts to fox hunting groups

Bring it on lefty. I'm always up for a laugh - which is not always true of some of the miserable ****s on here

You never appear to be cheerful on here.
Back to the thread, the local hunt, (drag hunt,) seems to have gone "underground," or disappeared.  The kennels now appear to be boarding kennels.

A few socialists to take the piss out of you is no bad thing either.

Anyway in reply to your comment I respectfully refer you to a character from that book......the Chinese laundry man 

A very common name apparently,  in China. That is also a very funny and also at times tragic book, as I suspect national service was for many.

Well after standing down as a mod I wanted to leave quietly so thought it best to disappear for a while.

Some posters on here have that effect, I guess. Good that you're back anyway - a few liberal tossers to take the piss out of is never a bad thing 

I cannot of course let that go without reply,many years ago (best part of 50 I think) I read an excellent book by Leslie Thomas  (he's from Jogs part of the world iirc)
he albeit a national service man shared your profession as a soldier during what was the Malayan emergency and wrote Virgin Soldiers,bloody cracking book you may have read it.

Cheers DD,maybe they aren't a group however drag hunts have been known to pursue live foxes,if foxes or any other creature is to be dispatched it should be as quickly and humanely as possible.

I shot a live animal once.....never again,I have shot since clay pigeons and targets.

I have no problem with animals being killed for food it's the trophy killings I'm against.

Yeah, well I won't comment

Anyway, where have you been?

Yeah but not up your own backside, now that is a real welcome back. Take no notice of the Dawg, he thinks he is middle clarse but he cannot resist mixing with us peasants.

Awesome - Priorities straight, I'm very pleased with Bojo's progress so far.

This, hard Brexit, next week the annual upper class twit of the year and uncommon wealth games, one simply cannot wait to don the monocle and cheer them on.

Priorities dear boy, priorities

Not clear whether the reporter is against Fox Hunting in principle or against funds being granted to what's perceived by many as a Toffs' recreation. If it's the funding, why should one legal occupation be discriminated against when local bowls clubs, cricket clubs, shooting clubs, etc, get £10,000 grants?

If it's an anti fox hunting stance, I don't see why what foxes and other predators do to their prey is acceptable as natural, but wrong when humans organise themselves to do the same. Anyway, it's now illegal to use dogs for hunting live animals so that argument's currently over.

I eat meat. I have seen animals slaughtered and I've been rough shooting for pigeons and rabbits, which have been cooked. I've also been with gamekeepers out culling crows and magpies which attack the young of birds an livestock they're rearing. Are these activities acceptable so long as those doing them are not enjoying themselves...?

[cromwell]

So why should fox hunting groups be singled out by dynamis? Well it's a political forum and he doesn't like them or their policies.

They aren't a "fox hunting group"

Good to see you back btw Ken

I have to say that has a certain appeal.

I remember seeing the start of a hunt in Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan. A hunt saboteur rushed up to a little girl on a pony and started screaming obscenities, whereupon the crowd grabbed hold of him and punched him into the ground.

I don't like fox hunting as such, but that bit was fun 

Not sure about appeal, but I've an idea what it feels like. Cadre course (for Lance Jack or Corporal, cant remember now) basically an excuse for the Army to feck you about royally for a month, includes E&E exercise. The ****s give you overalls and an RV to get to, then chuck you out of a Bedford 4 tonner in the middle of the night, then you do your best to avoid German civpop while half a battalion of skanky c**ts with personality disorders try and pick you up before you get there. I can think of better ways to spend the night

Cowbridge sounds about right for that kind of crowd – that's the posh bit of south wales. Its pretty easy to remember really because there aren't many others. Unlike Sennybridge for instance, which is often described as a lot of interconnected bogs at 90 degrees to everything else

What about hunting annoying liberal ****s? I'd pay more fecking tax for that

nor me, but then if you are calling a friends wife a slut and saying the way she is dressed she is begging for it, expect to get head butted. The moral to this tale be careful what you say, you never know who might be listening.

I've been threatened many many times, may the threats increase in scope and volume.

I would not have thought it was the scope or volume that counted so much as if the mums and dads of those little girls you are threatening are wearing Doc Martins with reinforced toecaps.

I haven't worn those since I were a lad..

I also as Depitty rightly pointed out, don't know anything about how it goes on. Nor have I ever 'protested a hunt' or been to one.

Those people who violently protest a non-fox yunt/drag runt are obviously scumbags if they think threatening kids is OK. But I'm responding to posts I (wrongly) assumed perhaps were meant for me..

In my experience hunt saboteurs are worksky hysterics who are already adequately compensated by the DHS.

The Dept for homeland security are really interfering in our politics these days. Paying fat pensioners to hunt and interferein hunts to bring down the Brit govt is pretty serious if you ask me

Any furlong funds are likely to end up in the hands of the folk who look after the hounds and who are rarely well paib.

Well, fair enough I suppose IF that's true.

I bet the avearage "Londonleftyliberaleconomist" reader is utterly sobbing into zer (I think that the correct genderless description) Quinoa flan with lentils. Well, if we're going to indulge in a bit of stereotyping, why not.

Just a tiny inconsistency maybe, but the title says "bailouts to fox hunting groups", then goes on to describe drag hunting, which is something completely different.

Me I don't give a shit what they hunt, but oddly, lots of liberal lefties that live in big metropolitan cities and know about as much about the country as I do about ball room dancing seem to get very upset about it. The solution is simple. Let them hunt pinko liberals instead. The hunt will have something to do, the limpwrists will feel they are.protecting nature, and the rest of us can get on with our lives. Everyone's a winner

I get bored listening to all this shit abour fox hunting from these left wing muppets.

The father in law is a shooter , into hunting , and the kids have been out shooting with him in the past. They all thoroughly enjoy it , and he often goes out shooting with the local game keeper controlling pests on the estate where he lives ( no not labour voters)

Like dynamis , they lefties all live such thoroughly horrible and boring lives , they dont want anyone else enjoying themselves.

Live and let live i say.

Live and let live obviously does not include the creatures being shot for your pleasure.

I tend to think it morally dubious to have people going around killing animals for fun. If you don't, then that's an issue for your conscience, not mine
