THEN JJF, WHY??? DO YOU NOT CALL THE DAMN RSPCA AND REPORT IT. OR THE FOX PROJECT, THE NUMBER IS IN MY ORIGINAL POSTING.

DO THE POOR ANIMAL A FAVOUR AND GET IT HELP SO THAT IT CAN DIE IT'S LAST DAYS IN PEACE AND NOT IN YOUR GARDEN UNDER YOUR DECKING!

Why don't you just poison it?

Well if he's getting on and has prostate problems you might as well make use of him, I suppose.

whoa, steady on MadWorld - I admit I hadn't read all of the posts of this thread and yes I will call the RSPCA and report it as I do not want my dog catching another dose of mange. I had no idea that the RSPCA would act on something like this to be honest. I'll also ask them to speak to the old woman who keeps feeding it raw chicken as she doesn't listen to us.

Sorry JJF but I get very upset by some people's lack of sensitivity to this subject, I didn't mean to snap or sound heavy with you. :)


And DPF, your comments whether they were said tongue in cheek or straight down the line in all sincerity, either way I am not impressed. Neither will some of the other posters that have contacted me by PM about 'certain' forumites lack of tack.

Well, literally thousands have pm'd me complaining about sanctimonious posters who want to be told how wonderful they are whilst indiscriminately poisoning local wildlife. I actually do feel sorry for the fox cub, I like foxes, but the reality is that this thread is more about eliciting sympathy for yourself. Its not like you were the one trapped under the decking is it.


is it me or does that sound vaguely threatening? Is the point that a silent army of people are gathering to storm the forum?. If some of us lack tact (I have HEAPS of tack!) why can't posters say so in public. And by saying "certain" posters does that mean anyone who isn't 100% in support of you should consider themselves "in trouble" with this silent group?


You seem increasingly upset by this but it's not clear why - as I said in my first post in this thread I had quite a bit of empathy with the situation you found yourself in the other day, but thereafter it's hard to see what the problem is?

EDF......thousands of people PM'ing you?...

maybe when you go on holiday, you will relax enough to come back and have something nice to say about people. You sound incredibly bitter, if you don't mind me saying so. As for 'santimonious posters', I have no idea to whom your refer.

Lastly I am certainly not wanting to elicit any of your sympathy.

MW74, if you want guaranteed agreement/sympathy, go elsewhere.


A fox died under your decking, and you found it upsetting, and felt guilty because you'd put poison down, but not very guilty because it wasn't your poison that killed the fox. So far, so blah, but this is a public forum and you can post what you want.


Other people post what they think, and you start getting all unnecessary. I couldn't give a stuff about foxes, small, medium or large - are you going to start patronising me based on the number of times I've posted on here, or conduct a behind the scenes whispering campaign? Get a life.

You sound incredibly bitter, if you don't mind me saying so


Well, I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out. If only I had a sad story involving me and a dying animal, maybe then people would like me, sniff.


(Edit 16:30 - I admit I plagiarised a Bill Hicks quote. It was a wrong thing to do)

I have in the past posted my thoughts on this forum about others topics, and said what I thought and had people getting snotty with me. Double standards. I say what I think to other people and they get all upity.


Now why don't you all get back to the sujbect of fox hunting. Get your teeth into it.

I'm warning you DPF that I've been pmed by millions of Bill Hicks fans and we will be forming an angry mob and storming Dulwich park to exact suitable vengeance.

Currently suggestions around Satan's scaly pecker and forcing you into a marketing job are under consideration.

Don't worry, we'll send you a memo.

Thanks for brightening up a tiring day at work, made more arduous by the fact I couldn't sleep last night for the wailing of foxes mating in my garden.


What a sad tale of a poisoned fox, which is more important than other species because it is cute, mange, urinating in your own garden, not-so veiled threats to fellow humans, prostate problems, Bill Hicks and a mad lady leaving out raw-chicken. I had an English teacher years ago who taught us there were only 7 story plots in all literature but surely this is a new take on [wo]man vs. nature.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
