No vote on Hunting Ban repeal says PM

You folks have probably seen this already.....Banning intensive rearing of game birds was one I hadn't heard before

I hadn't heard of it until I just read your post. Said it to my son, as soon as the ban was passed, 'that's it, and there'll be no going back EVER'.  It's all being surreptitiously eroded, and a shooting ban altogether won't be too far off, as well as what they've already banned.

Basically there's 650 seats in the house of commons the conservative party have 316 seats ,being backed up by 10 dup from northern Ireland .

 So even if all toed the line they'd get it through with one vote to spare ....

 But there are Tories that will vote against .

And you can guarantee that labour and all the minority parties will enjoy doing the government over.

 If next general election goes to labour it will be designed to the history books

Legal fox hunting is gone, never to return, in my view.

What we should all be doing is concentrating our efforts into make sure that other fieldsports don't go the same way !

I continue to support my local hunt, but not in any real hope of seeing a repeal. These days, I'm more concerned about further restrictions on air guns, and tightening of other firearms legislation. If you work dogs, a reworking of animal welfare laws could see your last time squeezed.

Once we allow politicians to set off down a road, they never turn back !

There will never be a repeal of the ban. Most voters have never ever even seen a dead rat. A rat to them is a blood relation whatsisname - sorry,  the name of the kids cartoon escapes me- but basically a furry cartoon whose killing other than by humane injection is tantamount to blood-thirsty murder. It's how the country has become. Ironically, on the continent they seem better able to resist the ignorance, aa evidenced by Blaise's excellent thread over on the digging dogs forum (see below).But in Britain the country is lost, and the hunting ban is just a symptom of that loss. I can hear my old father yet...''I don't know why be bothered to fight the war'. He died in the 80s but he could see what was coming diwn the pike.

      **sorry for the double post**
      I know I'm probably going to get the piss severely ripped out of me for asking this, but
      Has anyone ever successfully trained a deaf lurcher (from two working parents and I own her 4 year old sister who is an awesome little bunny basher.) 
      Genetically she has potential, but...what do you experts think? 
      She's not a Double merle by the way, it's extreme piebald/white head. Her vision is perfect

      Evening all,
      I'm lucky enough to have first pick from a friends litter. He’s crossed his Saluki dog with his Collie Bull GH bitch. I’ve only seen videos of the litter as he’s based in UK. Few different characters in the litter, some sit reluctant off in the back ground others play among themselves two are incredibly forward one more than the other. 
       
      What key things do you look for when picking a litter? I’ve mostly ran mine on rabbits, reds and some others.
       
      Go stead,
      oshea

      Just got this stunning little bitch, nearly 12 months old, Deerhound x Bedie grey.
      I used to go out with my dad's Lurchers when I was a kid but I'm a female in my 30's now and struggling to get back into the swing of things.
      I'd love to have this girl knocking down bunnies but I just don't know where to start, I've barely seen a rabbit or and other quarry since I moved here.
      Any of you experts in my area fancy giving me some advice/practical experience (hunting related only)
