PSL,

Will you throw the working class huntsmen into gaol as well then, or would your innate sense of inverted snobbery prevent you from doing that.

You like fishing as well don't you?

There's no x in 'nouveau' you knobber.

Then again, if you actually had any class or breeding you'd know that already...

But please, do feel free to give us the benefit of your enlightened opinions on the actual subject this thread concerns. Assuming you have any, that is, and are capable of actually expressing them.

Whether you're pro or anti hunting we can probably all agree that new labia are incapable of drafting meaningful, enforceable legislation that does anything more than create 2 days of headlines.

Diablo,

I was going to say that you had fair points mate. Just a shame that ET landed and pointed his finger at you!

**** you too



And you are?

(Edit to add, probably some **** who thinks he has God given right to go careering round the countryside on horseback chasing an animal to an horrendous death, in the name of either a)recreation B) sport or c) pest control depending on which one of his faces he's talking out of today)

you continue to be a spoon-fed idiot and you do not understand the legislation. the government left sufficient technical loop holes in the bill to allow hunting to continue in a modified form while placating the antiquated class-warrior left of the party with the illusion of a "ban". why? because they knew that a total ban was unworkable, unpoliceable and would create embarassing and repetitive civil disobedience, not least in the run-up to a general election. this is called politics.

for the millionth time.

Simple really, the government you so idolise, left loop holes that allow the hunters to pretty much carry on with impunity.

Yes, there is. It's the plural form.



The perception that hunting is confined to the well off and well heeled is laughable as is the correlation between the ALF having a point (in this instance) and Al Qaeda, which does not. Terrorism for one, but not for another?

People say it is ok to kill a fax, as we kill thousands of birds/cows etc.

Apply the same rule here then .....our armed forces kill thousands of Iraqi's, so does that make it ok for me to kill one it he was walking down the street?

Ok it maybe a silly example, but those with open minds will see where i am coming from.

Nope. We don',t because there is a legal foundation for member of the armed forces to kill in a war situation which doesn't exist in a civilian context outside of that framework.

Before anyone tries to cast doubt on that statement with protestations about the legality of the war in Iraq, as far as the Attorney General was concerned (and I disagreed) the war was legitimate and hence the act of killing (by soldiers) took place as an act of faith in their chain of command.

It's not illegal to kill foxes, only to hunt them with hounds although there are far crueller ways of killing them some of which are legal and some not but they are still used.

Anyway, if some of you could see the way some poultry farms are run (within the law) you'd soon stop worrying about hunting on the basis of animal rights but as I said, this subject is about perception as much as anything else.

I said there's no x in nouveau.

It may well be the plural form, but the term 'nouveau riche' doesn't use the plural form. So I stand by my comment.

As an aside, I'm almost certain that Inbreddie Eddie is actually a socialist who is trying to drag the reputation of the right down to the gutter. Which probably means he's PSL's alter ego...

SB's right.

It's a homophone : Nouveau Riche or Nouveaux Riches.

Thanks for the backup, SJ, and for the magnaminous response, Mr Flatcap.

If only all SN discussions could be resolved so amicably...
