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.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By malumbu · Posted

      There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
