desertbred 5,490 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) I see Brian May esq on Question Time asked why wont Cameron give a referendum on fox hunting the panel appeared to ignore him, The sole reason he asks for a referendum is because fox hunting to hounds has such a negative image for the public and he knows they can swing a referendum. I think the lacs and antis are realising this is not going to be as easy as when they got the hunting act. Strange he was on Question time this time the BBC playing the usual cards me thinks.

Stuart Rope 22 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 In my opinion I would be glad for a revote and would like the ban lifted but personally I think there's to many idiots in this game in my father's day everything was for the pot even fox for ferrets the way it should be as the older generation get to old or are passing away (the true dogmen) the respect for the quarry is dying as well a small minority who I imagine taught thereselves how to work dogs for bragging rights and Facebook I don't describe these individuals as hunters. In any nationality race sport or hobby you get idiots in a small minority but unfortunately in our game every1 has been labled as such as I've said I obviously want the ban lifted but believe if some had changed there ways before it would never have been implied in the 1st place 3 Quote Link to post

FUJI 17,128 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Posts like that are exactly what I'm talking about when I say anti's will pick up on anything to discredit hunters as skinhead idiots with no respect or care for anyone other than themselves lurcher man. And to be honest no mp is gonna risk their own neck for people making those comments. And your no different!!!! Labelling a hunter who commented about nothing remotely associated with hunting as being a skinhead idiot!!! So what your "assuming" is that ALL skinheads fall into the category you mention? ..I've been a skinhead since 1979 so thanks for clarifying that I'm an idiot who hunts with dogs..good luck in your quest to let you be able to have the hunting ban repealed as you will need it ?? ..over & out from this idiot ? 4 Quote Link to post

northern lad 2,292 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 The comitee to represent all fieldsports sounds grand ,but...one thing Im 100% cerain of ,apart from a very small minority of anglers who hunt and fish,the fishermen/women will have absolutely nothing to do with fieldsports of any kind,distancing themselves from it in any way possible,Ive only been into hunting more over the last 5 or 6 years,Ive fished all my life,been on comitees,club member and bailiff for some years,fishermen hate being tarred with fieldsports brush with a passion,they feel by association fishing is in danger....a ban on fishing will never happen,but all the same mention it to a non hunting angler and watch their response Quote Link to post

Leeview 791 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I see Brian May esq on Question Time asked why wont Cameron give a referendum on fox hunting the panel appeared to ignore him, The sole reason he asks for a referendum is because fox hunting to hounds has such a negative image for the public and he knows they can swing a referendum.

IMHO with this repeal I cant see it going through the rights or wrong of hunting, it will be a case of is this law as it is enforceable? plain and simple. QT last when the panel were introduced on the screen it told you their name and status when it got to brian may it just said queen at least I think thats what it said LOL Y.I.S Leeview 1 Quote Link to post
Pollyanna 1 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Don't trust polls either. Look what happened to Milliband! Quote Link to post
Gareth12 225 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Fuji I have a skinhead myself and have since I can remeber. What I said was that this is the image the anti's try to portray hinters as being ; 'white racist yobs with shaved heads and tattooed up to the eyeballs, who enjoy killing fury animals and have no respect for anything'. I was simply making a point that the post I commented on just helped promote this stereotype, and to be honest does no favours to our cause as has been stated. Quote Link to post
