Laura, I wasn't criticizing you (at least not deliberately), I was trying to answer your question. When I said "As per usual, those who would argue that..." I wasn't referring directly to you! It is a card that has been played very strongly by the hunters, who bitch about "townie Labour MP's", whilst apparently perfectly comfortable with the "rural Lords" who, with equal blindness, peddle the hunters' p-o-v in the upper House. But, of course, that's an entirely different question, perfectly alright, rational, & not at all motivated by ignorant prejudice...
