I can't keep my mouth shut any longer,
Tony Blair & the Government are a bunch of wankers.
I live in a very rural area in the middle of a farming community & in traditional hunting & shooting country.
I read in the Telegraph today that the Government intend to use the Parliament Act to force through a total ban on fox hunting if the House of Lords rejects the bill. Why can't they just leave us alone in the country to run it as it has always been run. A ban will not stop us, we will continue to hunt regardless.
It is estimated that 20,000 hounds will have to be put down if the ban takes effect & I know the suicide rate will go up in the already hard hit farming/rural comunities if peoples way of life is criminalised.
My hope is that all those MP's & townie do-gooders that think they can wipe out centuries of tradition realise how welcome they will be when they come out to look at the lovely countryside we here try so hard to maintain.
Many of my friends depend on hunting for their living, often in tied houses so a loss of job also means a loss of home.
We don't tell you how to run your towns & cities so don't tell us how to run the country. All those who support a ban on hunting are not welcome in the country.
I am willing to get arrested & locked up to defend our way of life.

Pissed off & ready to fight.
