I'm envying your Zen-like floatiness. I'm torn by it all.
On the one hand, I'm completely against animal cruelty. We don't do cock-fighting any more, so why fox-hunting?
On the other, I basically feel people should be allowed to do what they like, if it doesn't hurt anybody. And I live in the country. Judging by their accents, the pro-foxhunters interviewed on the News last night, facing the loss of their livelihoods, could well be friends of mine.
I don't buy the pest control argument at all. On my travels I see more fox roadkill than any hunt could bag in a month of Boxing Days.
But I see the currently in-progress legislation as a cynical ploy by Kim Il Tone to get traditional Labour voters (that's me) back on side before the next election.
I've never voted Tory in my life, but I think Thatcher was a better PM than Blair. At the moment, the only possible response seems to be to scrawl THEIR ALL QWEERS on the ballot paper.
