    Fox hunting is an ancient tradition of the natives of England, it needs to be protected by society as cultural heritage. Just like seal clubbing.

    I don't really have a problem with dogs killing foxes, but why people want to spend an afternoon chasing after them to watch is beyond me.

    It's the same thing that makes the older folks fail to comprehend why we're spending so much time on the internet.

    Death is one thing, torture is another. British abattoirs (besides the Jew ones) are bound by law to make slaughter as clean and humane as possible. The same should extend to anything considered pest control or hunting. Farmers are allowed firearms for a reason and, for fucks' sake, it's called chicken wire for a reason.

    The only reason I could see to repeal the fox hunting ban is to slap it down with more restrictions. Ban hunting on horseback, end the right to roam for these toff fucks, etc. Currently if a hunt goes onto your land then:

    1. They have the legal right to be there. It is the responsibility of the land owner to let every hunt in the country that they are not allowed on said land.
    2. If they are injured on your land while hunting then you are liable.
    3. Garrot wire between trees on hunting paths are a great way to drain the swamp.
    Source: I worked indirectly for The League Against Cruel Sports and Compassion In World Farming.

    Anything that can be considered a blood sport should obviously be banned. Looking at you, Spain.

    Not sure how much faith I'd put in polls. Been a bit hit & miss recently, trending towards miss.
    There's plenty to dislike about her. I feel like regardless of who gets in my wallet is going to get shafted.

    Actually I keep my gelt in a leather pouch around my neck and have neodium magnet money clip for the folding money, which helps keep my impulse purchases in check.

    Only two muslim terror attacks since the last update! That should show everyone that Islam is a religion of peace. If Corbyn wins then he can thank his muslim friends that bombed him to victory. It seems like some Britons hope that if they vote the socialist muslim lover the terrorist will show mercy and stop slaughtering them.

    That kind of trolling might actually work if it hadn't been completely rinsed over the past two years.

    Also he's a state capitalist, not a socialist. If he were socialist then I'd actually vote for his party.

    I doubt he'll get to implement most of his state capitalist policies.

    So we can drink ourselves to death on the Friday when the results come out and have the weekend to recover.

    Because the Tories rely on the votes of the retired and the apathy of the unemployed. The proletariat aren't exactly their target market. They're also wanting to bring in mandatory id for voting (despite zero correlation with election fraud) because all of their voters drive and go abroad. Not saying the left don't but there's enough of a difference.

    They also suppressed proportional representation and the alternative vote. Again, because it suited their turnout. (i.e. 30% of the vote gave them 52% of the government.)

    jk rowling, the lifetime labour voter who encouraged all those bernie bros to rally around hillary clinton because shes the biggest chance at winning (and also you're sexist if you dont) is encouraging people to vote lib dem even though labor is leading in the polls

    lmao
