Tories get ready for a repeal of the hunting ban

“The plan, which is still being finalised, has been drawn up by a “repeal committee” of hunting chiefs and parliamentarians, chaired by the Conservative MP Edward Garnier, QC.

“David Cameron, the Leader of the Opposition, has made clear that if he becomes prime minister he will offer a free vote in government time for repeal of the four-year-old hunting ban.”

UPDATE: 119 out of 120 Conservative candidates in their list of target seats support the repeal of hunting.

Great news, the light at the end of the long 11 year black hole of a tunnel.

What kind of society allows 200,000 unborn humans to be culled annually, yet bans the hunting of vermin?

A freaky liberal la-la land of sickness, evil and confusion, that’s what.

This attitude of selfishness and blind indifference towards humanity is bringing the country to its knees.

The true face of Cameron’s tories, barbarism

It’s called “getting the New Labour tanks off the lawn”. It’s symbolic, a bone thrown to the core, just as the illiberal, unworkable ban was a payment to the idiots of the Labour backbenchers for their support for War in Iraq.

There will be a lot more repealing to do, what with a new crime a day from this Government for over a decade.

“illiberal, unworkable ban ”

So was banning badger baiting and bear baiting ‘illiberal’ then Jackart or should that be ‘Jackass’?

Foxes aren’t vermin, hunters are.
