  • on fox hunting...

    I'm from Devon, spent ten years in London and moved back to Devon a year ago.

    I am anti-hunt.

    Down here though I am in the minority, it isn't about people wanting to hunt per se, but the feel like it is the city ruling on the 'way of life', and if they start with hunting what is next, shooting or other 'pursuits'.

  • I don't doubt your experiences, but based on polls, a majority in rural areas also seem to support the ban (as of 2015): yougov.co.uk/news/2015/01/09/bri­tish-people-still-support-fox-hunting-ba­n

    ah yes but proper rural folk don't respond to surverys, we don't have internet or phones (they are black magic)...

    With no stats to back it up, and can't bothered to look it up, I suspect there is lots of differences around the country. Astounds me either way that Hugo Swire (Could there be a more Tory name than Hugo) gets about half the vote around here, just mental.
