The Prime Minister, David Cameron, has said he believes in the "freedom to hunt" and wants fox hunting legalised.


He has said he has "always been a strong supporter of country sports" and that "it is [his] firm belief that people should have the freedom to hunt".


After their majority win in the election on 7th May 2015, the Conservatives will very likely hold a parliamentary vote on repealing the fox hunting ban.


This is not a thread to discuss Fox Hunting but a chance to express any apposing views and sign the petition.

Not that I really care one way or the other about the subject, but you don't have the right to define who can and can't add to the thread, Foxy.

This subject has been discussed to death. If you want to Resurrect an old thread or start a new one

please feel to do so.


This thread has been raised to raise awareness of the current Petition to the Government.

Regardless of what can/can't be added to the thread, I'm so intrigued about something, I'm asking anyway:


Loz, WHY don't you care?

Don't personally understand how anyone in the 21st century can seriously be pro anything that involves murdering an innocent animal for the fun of it, then spending most of your time complaining about your human rights when you've been banned from partaking in this so called "sport". This shouldn't been be on the agenda for reconsideration, it was abolished for a reason.

Because it is argument packed with complete losers on both sides. One side, some well meaning animals types who are far outnumbered by idiotic class warriors. The other, some well meaning traditional country types who are far outnumbered by a different type of idiotic class warriors.


A pox on both their houses, frankly.

I'm not sure you are really grasping how little I care on the subject. As I said, I find too many morons on both side of the argument to want to take sides.

If you do not care one way or the other then why don't you look for another thread to hi-jack.

It's something you seem to be very good at.


Like I said this thread is to bring attention to a petition for people who do care to be able to participate.


and that's all it is....

It's not about moron people, it's about the FOX!


If you care about them being ripped to shreds, or if you don't.


If you really don't care, have a think about it from the fox's side. How can you not care? Unbelievable.


Do you have pets? Dogs, cats, foxes, all feel you know.

I've seen rabbits with myxomatosis (highly unpleasant) and foxes that were not taken out with a clean shot and almost certainly died in much pain. Other ways of animal control like snares are even worse. Rat poison causes them to bleed internally until they die.


So why only fox hunting with dogs? This is the crux of what I don't get. This is why I feel that it's just a class issue, hijacking an animal issue. And if it's just a class issue, then, yes, I don't care.

It's not a class issue though is it?


And you know how I feel. Snares, rat poison, any blood sport (fox/deer hunting, hare coursing, shooting) turns my stomach.


I would ban it all but this thread is about fox hunting.


I'd even ban mouse traps. But a living creature being chased, terrifed, then torn into bits while still alive and screaming in pain?


Think about it.

Loz I am in shock at your sheer splitting of hairs over this issue. Any form of cruelty is wrong surely? we are all animals, we all feel pain. You seem to be bypassing the cruelty aspect and refering to some bizarre class issue.


That reminds me, as an aside, hands off greedy that's historically my beef.

      2025 Christmas Tree recycling

      By James Barber · Posted

      I know I'm a bit premature but don't want to forget through too much Chrisntas cheer! Southwark Council Christmas trees recycling arrangements 2025 - bit worrying for the future that they're emphasising the free bit. "We’ll collect and recycle your real Christmas tree for free!  Trees should not be taller than 5ft. You should chop any taller trees into smaller pieces. Remove all decorations and the pot or stand and recycle it by: putting your tree with your garden waste containers on collection day requesting a free collection if you do not have a garden waste collection  taking it to our Reuse and Recycling Centre [43 Devon Street, SE15 1AL open 08:30-16:30 Mon-Sun] If you live in a flat you must leave the tree: outside on the kerb visible for the collection crew not in a bin store" I'll add the link to the collection booking service when it opens on 22 December.

      Christmas/New Year rubbish/recycling collection changes

      By James Barber · Posted

      Most homes in East Dulwich / Good Green ward have collections on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. So no changes for them this year.  But for those few local homes with collections normally on Thursdays or Friday, with Christmas, Boxing day happening on Thursday and Friday any blue, brown or green bin collections will be delayed by two days. So Thursday 25 December collections will be on Saturday 27 December and Friday 26 December collections on Sunday 28 December. For New Years day those Thursday collections will be on the Friday 2 January and those with normal collections of Fridays that will be on Saturday 3 January. To double check when your Southwark Council rubbish, recycling, food waste, garden waste collections will be taking place please please check here - https://services.southwark.gov.uk/bins/lookup

      Dawson heights parking charge notice

      By Happyme5 · Posted

      Luckily I don't really any regular reason to park at Dawson Heights.  It must be very difficult for the residents I do feel for them.  Thank you for them.  I just presumed that Southwark owned the estate and would be responsible for parking enforcement there.
