Subject: RE: BS: 59% of the people in favour of hunting?
look you Yanks gotta sort out for yourself what you want to do.

Over in England, this is class warfare. The nobs (the posh folk that is) enjoy hunting - riding to hounds. Okay some people aren't all that posh, but most of them are.

Quite frankly most of us wouldn't give a toss if they chased the fox with a rusty can opener and ritualisticly strangled it with a pair of sweaty underpants. the point is that its a kick in the goolies for the class that's grabbed the best of everything for itself - particularly the royal family.

the gross indifference they displayed as a class to the working classes in the traditionally poorer parts of England during 18 years of right wing tory rule got a lot of people in the mood for this one.

Is it just? Maybe not. But sometimes however much you bitch about it, you're outnumbered and its tough bananas baby.

Your class behaved badly and all people you were joyously pissing off in Maggies reign, along with the humane treatment for animals gang have found a way to grip your shit

Think of it as payback time for the coalmines, the steel industry and (what was it?) 28% of manufacturing industry in one year alone.
You don't understand our way of life, that's the problem.
