Imagine 370 to 400 Con MPs this time,freevote irrelevant,their leader putting forward a manifesto proposal.
This is the only Party that wants it back and they will vote in enough numbers to ensure it is legalised again.
The Cons never wanted it banned, they voted every vote comfortably against it being banned.
They will vote it back,no doubt in my mind,I would put all I had on that.
They have a leader determined to satisfy the hunting lobby and get it back.
People can delude themselves all they like,the Cons have never supported the ban and will with ease,if she gets a larger majority,vote to legalise this vile act again.

Do you think they should also ban halal meat too Joey that is also barbaric,If I had my way NO animals would be cruelly treated at all for food or sport.but what are your thoughts on that .If we get onto the barbaric way we treat animals it goes way further than foxhunting,it happens with hares,deers game birds,etc.i don't eat meat but I do not dislike those who do,but I do dislike any cruelty to animals.
