Join The Green Party

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Seeing as I am membership secretary for Southwark Green Party, I really ought to try to recruit a few supporters.

If anyone doesn't fancy joining but would like to come to a few of our monthly meetings or go on our supporters e-list let me know and I'll sort it out.

But if you do want to join, you can do it here.

Oh Chav. Your passion does you proud but really. In the interest of keeping chickens safe, join the Conservative Party - bring back fox hunting.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Yeh, but eventually I'm hoping to get a farm and then I'd have to put up with posh tw@ts charging round on horses across my land after the foxes. Also I doubt the Blues would appreciate my colourful life experience, especially as some of their sort helped colour it!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Fox hunting not posh. Common misconception. Fox enemy, not punters.

[????]

I think we should bring back fox hunting to SE22, every night the randy f*ckers are always at their extremley noisy couplings at 3am in the morning. GET RID.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

This is where I bow out gracefully!

Urban foxes don't have very long lives, and they are pretty, leave 'em alone I say. One regularly kips in our back garden and never hassles any of the cats.

You can always just shoot foxes if they are being a nuisance. Charging after them on horses and letting a pack of dogs rip them apart is a little unnecessary. Personally I think hunting them by skulking around the back alleys and along rooftops with a rifle would be more fun and more humane. Although watching a fox hunt gallop down LL on a Saturday morning would have great comedy value.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

My cat was chased by a fox - he slipped in through the slightly open window and the bemused fox was left on the window sill, too large to get in.

Hunting with dogs more humane than rifle. It's over in seconds and the sporting element is that the fox might get away. Shooting often leaves foxes wounded. (unless you use extremely big dum dums but that might be illegal). Urban foxes do need culling at the very least. As Jah said on another thread, there are more in town than country. I've seen too many young dog foxes living awful lives having been expelled by their packs and unable to forage effectively. RSPCA chap I called to one said it is extremely common (I actually thought it was a v. old fox, it was so decrepit, but turned out to be a youngster).

Sorry to hijack this thread Chav. Perhaps responsible culling of urban foxes could be on the Green party manifesto?
