MPs vote for a total ban on hunting -- what do you think? (FOXY)     

MightyMicro - 01 Jul 2003 01:15

Today the House of Commons voted overwhelmingly for a total ban on hunting with dogs, specifically foxhunting. So do you think that MPs are wasting their time on trivia and infringing ancient freedoms or is this a barbarous sport of toffs that should be snuffed out.

And will it be an abuse of the Parliament Act to force the ban through against an amending vote from the Lords?

Hardly surprising since half the Labour MPs are ex-housewives who didn't have to stand against male candidates. What's democracy got to do with anything?

Health service, knackered, trains ditto for ten years,manufacturing fcuked,government overtaken by Tories, country swamped,education system buggered,answer to the problems of the country-SAVE the FOX.

Bones
did you mean to say.... "half the Labour MPs are ex-housewives who didn't have to stand against male candidates" would'nt it be more accurate to say 'lie under'???

As most Labour MPs were hand-picked from a list of female ex-comprehensive school attendees, I suppose the shambles you highlight, Sequestor, is a damning indictment of the comprehensive system of schooling. We are basically run by a collective from the back row of the classroom.

lesk LOL. I shouldn't think many of them are interested in being close to a male, whatever the location.

a point I had not missed Bones, but I'm not about to get my head stove in by a horde of ladies in lederhose... :)
