most of the trade union movement abhor it.

Because just like yourself Terry, you know nothing, ziltch, nowt at all about the countryside or the way it works and Neither does your trade union !
I suggest you are undereducated on this subject so your comment can only offend ( and thats all ) because you have no practical experience to input into the argument.

Quote GMB BRANCH SEC LONDON
The countryside alliance is just a collection of neo-nazi sadists who have been rained in slightly

Once again your opinion is based on a lack of experience and simply been undereducated on the subject you are commenting on

 Quote GMB BRANCH SEC LONDON
we will ensure they are finished off shortly

But why Terry ? Tell me why..
But do not give me that educate !!!!!! crap.
Tell me your in depth views of it !
And also tell me the knock on effect it has on thousands of families + industries ! You do know don't you ?
Also tell me the cost to the agricultural industry per year ( Uninsured loss ) due to vermin damage and fox problems ?
You do know this also , well you must, you say your against the whole thing.....

Quote GMB BRANCH SEC LONDON

Take a look at this site and maybe Join the forum.
There is many other sites just like this.
I am not or NEVER would try and convert you but at least understand.
Remember Terry "2 sides to everything" so don't be as quick to pull a society of people down just because you do not know anything about them.
Apart from what you hear in conversations where people say similar to what you have.

Regards.

Sorry Terry I missed that bit......
I must comment just in-case we have readers that is a little unsure how Protesting against hunts and field sports go.

Protesters / Anti's !...Funded by significant contributions by the likes of Lady Linda McCartney.
Bulk funding is then sent out to self appointed leaders to "aid and assist" the cause !
Recruitment is poor and ACTIVE followers are sometimes hard to come across so they use collages and universities ( You would of seen it Terry or heard first hand ).
They get there £20 a day to protest...They don't even know why they are there do they....lol
OK lets move on to the Day of protest !
I will list some events that has taken place with ME present.
Terriers kicked and threw against trees.
Locator collars removed and re-entered to earth so the terrier will never be found.
Horses jabbed and punctured with sharp sticks so they have to be taken for vetenary treatment...Remember now Save the FOX...Bollocks to all other living species...am I wrong ?
Innocent people been punched , head butted and kicked.
Tape players strapped onto Anti's that stands on the other side of busy roads with the sound of hounds playing loud...to draw hounds into traffic and be killed !
Hunt horns blown at the bottom of sheer drops and once again across busy roads to kill / maim dogs.
Vehicles wrapped up in sheets with Anti slogans drawn on them so that they cant see to drive !  On track roads in woodland areas..If you got out to say "hey chaps thats illegal" they would ensure you did not drive again..and It would not have been only the car kicked and dinted..(Police assisted me that day and dispersed the crowd of Antis and removed the sheet) or yes I could of drove off the road and been killed with the huge drops on either side of the track !
And wait there ! I do not run Hounds or own them ! I was just there on occasions.
Lets move on to the shooting ! Pheasant pens pulled to bits young birds that can not fly released into places where they will surely die from predators.
Stones hurled at you whilst shooting, spaniels pelted with stones...return to your car to find it has been scrapped..
But they are always right...well they are arnt they ? These actions are OK to do ?
Yes some protests are less violent and all the Antis do is call you names and fart and share their head lice etc: etc:..until they find out where you live...
Then it moves on to hate mail...family life dirupted ny threats...well I am sick of typing now......

But anyways Terry...we will simply not agree on this issue !
But BTW terry mate....
You know when you said "Taxis i have been personally involved in disrupting hunts since the 60s, i doubt you could inform me of any aspect of this practice"
I believe I could !

Regards Steve

Terry please do not think I am been awkward for the sake of it !
I genuinely thought that seems have been personally involved in disrupting hunts since the 60s,
you would have direct ( actual scenario ) input into the debate.

QUOTE TERRY..can some one explain the rules of engagement,
I will describe this in very simple terms.
It has been decided by parliment that ...
The Hunting Act 2004 came into effect on 18 February. It makes the hunting with dogs of all wild mammals an offence, and also completely bans hare coursing. There are a few tightly-drawn exemptions to allow essential activities, such as pest control, to continue subject to strict conditions. The Act does not stop people from riding with their dogs provided they remain within the law.
The Government fully supports the right of peaceful protest, but condemns unlawful protest and intimidation. The Government accepts the right of the Countryside Alliance and others to challenge the Act through the Courts but is confident that the Act has a sound legal basis. This view has been supported in both the High Court and the Court of Appeal, where the Countryside Alliance’s challenge to the validity of the Parliament Act 1949 (which established the procedures under which the Hunting Act was passed) has been rejected. The House of Lords heard a further, final appeal on this issue in July, and is expected to deliver its judgement in the autumn. The Countryside Alliance has also launched separate legal challenges on human rights and European Union trade grounds. These cases were heard together in the High Court in July, and were rejected in their entirety. The Alliance has said that it will appeal against this judgement.

The Hunting act can be read in detail here
