This has been done to death several times on here. Surely there's nothing more to say on the subject? Nothing new anyway.

could if every tory mp voted for it as they have 306 seats compeared to labour and other opposition parties 285 it gives the torys a majority of 21 even then cant see it happening

But there are pro-hunting labour and libdem MP's and anti tories so it's not that clear cut. My main thought on it is there are more pressing matters at hand - Proper hunting doesn't start til november anyway

yep dont think hunting is top of the agenda and like you say proper hunting don't start till november unless you count ferreting in which case................. only eat a rabbit if theres an R in the month lol

Ah thats a shame, I read the title incorrectly. I thought it said free vote on a scrap with those trying to overturn the hunting ban. My free vote would have been a tick for scrapping with such remmingtons.

2010 and the hunting ban is still a big issue with the old guard. They will all die out in the next 50 years anyway along with the archiac practices associated with country recreation.

I don't think violence is the answer, but if that's the extent of your powers of persuasion, you carry on

And what's a Remmington??? Remington make good rifles and shotties, and grooming products, but surely that's not what you meant?

No James, your quite right there is no place for violence just as theres no place for fox hunting in modern society!

So why did you say you'd be in favour of a scrap? And what's a Remmington?

Morning all,

I don't think it'll materialise - or if it does, it won't increase beyond the rate it is at the moment - for whatever reason, pro-hunters always say making it illegal had increased hunting.

Hopefully this thread won't degenerate - actually, we could have had our own vote, had one been posted with this thread. You know, those in favour of a repeal and others wanting it upheld? Just a thought!

A Remmington is a manufacturer of ladies' hair and beauty products.

Take care,
