Happily people as narrow minded as you are not the majority in cities, but as you are more vocal, it sometimes seems like you are. You take one issue you object to, and thereby judge millions of people you have never met. It entrenches division, it supports the idea that "the left" are elitists who live in cities, and it helps Corbyn to lose voters.
Problem with what you are saying is that he's not wrong. Would you be happier if Corbyn rode to hounds in Islington (plenty of foxes) in defiance of the ban?
Or should he stick to his principles about a subject where he is correct?
Or can you make a compelling case that killing animals for fun be considered a positive thing to do?
Dammit-
My original point was that hunting in general is a nuanced issue, not that I want to bring back fox hunting.

I would be happier if Corbyn got on the right page and came over to the centre left a bit. Make some concessions and give the Tories a proper fucking ballgame.

If there is a need to kill an animal (a negative) - say to protect other livestock - then surely the utilitarian argument is that you may as well have fun while doing it.
