She's barely hanging on to her job,and with brexit ,I doubt it will be high on her agenda with no majority in the house. Just hanging on with the help of the unionists, she wouldn't get it through.

Time to face facts, it's never coming back, and will do more harm than good dragging it up.

Realistically never gunna happen. The only way to keep the sport alive is to carry on with it. God help anyone trying to stop us.

You folks have probably seen this already.....Banning intensive rearing of game birds was one I hadn't heard before

I hadn't heard of it until I just read your post. Said it to my son, as soon as the ban was passed, 'that's it, and there'll be no going back EVER'.  It's all being surreptitiously eroded, and a shooting ban altogether won't be too far off, as well as what they've already banned.

It's never going to be lifted only made worse on day there will be no hunting lurchers will become pets along with other working breeds it will become a thing written in books hopefully not in my life time though.

Basically there's 650 seats in the house of commons the conservative party have 316 seats ,being backed up by 10 dup from northern Ireland .

 So even if all toed the line they'd get it through with one vote to spare ....

 But there are Tories that will vote against .

And you can guarantee that labour and all the minority parties will enjoy doing the government over.

 If next general election goes to labour it will be designed to the history books

Legal fox hunting is gone, never to return, in my view.

What we should all be doing is concentrating our efforts into make sure that other fieldsports don't go the same way !

I continue to support my local hunt, but not in any real hope of seeing a repeal. These days, I'm more concerned about further restrictions on air guns, and tightening of other firearms legislation. If you work dogs, a reworking of animal welfare laws could see your last time squeezed.

Once we allow politicians to set off down a road, they never turn back !

There will never be a repeal of the ban. Most voters have never ever even seen a dead rat. A rat to them is a blood relation whatsisname - sorry,  the name of the kids cartoon escapes me- but basically a furry cartoon whose killing other than by humane injection is tantamount to blood-thirsty murder. It's how the country has become. Ironically, on the continent they seem better able to resist the ignorance, aa evidenced by Blaise's excellent thread over on the digging dogs forum (see below).But in Britain the country is lost, and the hunting ban is just a symptom of that loss. I can hear my old father yet...''I don't know why be bothered to fight the war'. He died in the 80s but he could see what was coming diwn the pike.
