Jane of 'ull Hunting, poaching and whaling songs (52* d) RE: Hunting, poaching and whaling songs 10 Sep 08


I like 'Hunting the Hare'. I think it's Kate Rusby who sings a nice version of that. I use it as a warm up tune on my fiddle - its got lots of simple phrasing in it and and bits of scale (maybe it should be about fish then. oh, terrible joke..)

I'm getting so fed up of political correctness I'm seriously considering setting up a campaign aginst the worst excesses of it... It's strangling public AND private debate, and in some cases covering up the truth and therefore impeding scientific progress. And now we're even censoring the past, and the stories of our heritage?? Madness. Next time you automatically respond with the now accepted PC answer..Think about the way you're policing your own thoughts. And they're your OWN, no-one else's!

I had a go at shooting and eating rabbits, but stopped doing it when I realised I'm not that keen on the taste, and if I dont eat them I see shooting em as a bit unethical. I was veggie for years on and off, and PC for a fair few years too, until I saw reason again. I am not BNP, they are thugs and morons. But I understand why some people are turning to the BNP (in their ignorance). I could go on for ever about PC as it's my particular bete noir at the moment.

Read Anthony Browne's 'The Retreat of Reason' about the downside of PC, it is eye opening.
