I'm with Oscar Wilde on this one.

I notice Farage is in the thick of it. No surprise there.

I think that most sensible people are against fox hunting, although the number of animals involved is very small compared to factory farming. However this is trail hunting, which supposedly involves following a trail of animal scent. There are no animals hunted, although some people claim that it is a smoke screen to do fox hunting and the hounds often end up killing a fox.

Foxes are pests like termites but as they cute people care about them.

Well they eat chickens and scavenge bins looking for food. However that is nature, they aren't vegetarians. Dogs would be doing the same, if they didn't have owners giving them pedigree chum;

It surprises me he is so visible at it.

There are no mass votes to be won associating with the hunting set, whether they are hunting real animals or cuddly stuffed toys that look like them or whatever they chase. But he can lose votes, it puts most people off and isn't relatable to regular everyday people of this country.

That's about as critical as I will ever get of Farage. Steer clear of the hunt Nigel.

Actually he should have used his appearance as an analogy for how he is hunting after and chasing down Kemi Badenoch and the Tories who are now the tired fox in his sights for the getting.

However, Robbie has the government even the Tories have bastardised the countryside there are not many places left. Foxes have been known to attack people which was rare. Urban foxes are now "urban" for a reason.

Doubt fox hunting affects this at all. Chickens still be eaten.

It's all about dress ups isn't it and dills like Nigel Farage getting into Hollywood's idea of an English gent's outfit but looking like a goose.

No fox hunt ever stopped foxes doing what foxes do. Apart from the ones they catch. But they rarely succeed in catching one. I do tend to agree that because foxes are so very very aesthetically pleasing, people care about them more. Not as many care about the fate of rats or pigeons. I actually saw a person tucking into a KFC bucket whilst decrying animal cruelty. Chickens aren't cute.

Most chickens are in farms or on private land as pets. They are very daft animals.

Fox hunting is what it was it's a scent and you can use beagles and hounds to hunt for a scent but not harm an animal.
