Was there the same groundswell of opinion when city dwellers / lawyers suggested we end incest?
Incest, as another example of something people do in the countryside? This really sums up my previous point about a london centric view.

Who knows, thankfully before my time. I'm just saying what I see, not saying it is right or wrong, but helps to explain why some of the poorest counties vote for the tories, even though it is turkeys voting for christmas.

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'.
