• Fox hunting and other country matters?
    Fox hunting is one thing, a hideous example of feudal life and an inhumane sport.
    What are the other country matters you want discuss, botany? rural payments? rights of way? ash dieback?

    First, 'country matters' is one of the oldest jokes in the language. I mainly posted this to stop the election thread getting derailed, but knew I would get called a cunt for it.

    I think the divisions between people in britain are thrown into relief by issues like these, class and politics are heavily bound up in hunting, which is why it came up in the election thread. I'm not, have have not at any point, tried to change anyone's mind on whether it's wrong to tear a fox apart with dogs. I'm more interested in the ways we make judgements of others based on pre-concieved notions. And I'll admit I've been guilty of that myself.
