you're not suggesting that hunts are flouting the law, are you

I'm glad this has been settled here - but I see it'll now go to the European Court of Human Rights ..... the saga continues

I'm glad to hear that the appeal failed. Their best hope is for David Cameron to be elected one day. He is well connected to the Heythrop Hunt.

Hmm, that doesn't surprise me. He just had 'that look' about him - but I don't say that in a nasty way particularly as many of the hunters, the riders that is, I used to talk to were quite a nice bunch of people (despite what they were doing of course). Pity about some of the foot followers and 'terrier men' though. Some of them were well nasty!!



Er, I'm a member of Bath Green Party by the way, so while I think DC is quite a nice chap, I certainly don't share his politics, but I'm not getting into that at this point in time.

Human rights *** *** *** that's my eloquent feelings on it! ( How do i get a hangover when i haven't touched a drop - all i did last night was sit infront of an open fire and play board games!!)

Lots of people get made redundant and err they get new jobs. It's unfortunate when it happens but in the end you just have to get on with it. There's plenty of jobs where a complete career change isn't necessary - abattoirs, butchers....!(only joking!)

While all my friends vote Green or Labour I have some colleagues that vote for the dreaded torries but wont if they thing DC might bring back hunting - will have to mention it to them!

There are jobs and there are ways of life that are core to your identity. This may be more the case for some roles in the counrtyside but isn't confined to them - there are many people who do what they do from a sense of vocation or as part of a cultural role transferred from generation to generation. You might disagree with what people do but there's no need to be insensitive, ignorant and insulting about it.

I did say I was joking! There was no malice in it, sorry if you took it that way but it really wasn't meant like that. Things have gone extremely pear shaped for me in the past but I've always found the best way of dealing with it is to maintain a healthy sense of humour. Not everyone's humour is the same there's lots of comedians out there that are just plain irritating but lots of people love them, so!
Sorry if i offended you - I really didn't intend any malice. I've been persecuted at work in the past and nearly lost my job because of my religious beliefs (the Tao; a devout Christian couldn't work with me as I refused to be converted) so i know how these remarks can hurt. It does seem insensitive now but it wasn't meant that way - sorry. I've also been made redundant for companies closing down - twice in a row within six months of each other. So, i've been there

Yes, DC also has ridden with the Old Berks Hunt, run by his wife's stepfather, Lord Astor.
As for the "way of life" argument, the same could be said of anything that someone wants to carry on doing whether good or bad.

Sorry tufftie that was very po-faced of me! Think I was just having one of those mornings or something - thanks for your gracious apology but let's face it I was being a bit of an a**e
