Who says the SNP are anti English :-)
Someone had to stand up for the majority of the English against this rather shabby attempt effectively to reintroduce fox hunting in England
Cameron gambled that they would not vote against something which is legal in Scotland, but I could not see the logic behind that assumption

// Well done Sweaties ! //

Welsh Rhyming slang or have you been hanging out with the spivs too much?

[mikey4444]

Gromit...I am just joining in with all the fun !

[steg]

I don't think you are allowed to kill the fox with dogs in Scotland either

[vetuste_ennemi]

Why didn't you provide a subtitle to your question, Ichkeria. E,g, Posturing Prats appealing to people with too much time on their hands.

[hc4361]

The foxes are supposed to be shot but there is no restriction on the number of dogs.

[steg]

That's correct As far as I know

I am an immigrant to Scotland.
I have never noticed any anti-English attitudes in my travels around my adopted country.
What I do notice, however, is that whenever the word Scotland is mentioned in the News section on Answerbank, there will be a profusion of ill-informed, sour, ***, remarks, about Scotland and the Scots, from posters who appear to be English.
Surely a more open-minded outlook would make for better debate, rather than emphasising the essentially uneducated inward thinking that is apparent.
I do not believe that these posts are representative of English people in general, thankfully.
Surely you can see that making personal remarks do not further your arguments.

It seems that the law we have at present leaves a lot to be desired. Its been proven fairly conclusively that foxes have been introduced into certain areas, just so they can be hunted. What Labour needs to bear in mind, when it next gets back to power, is that a much better law is required, that cannot be tinkered with by future Tory administrations. Part of the problem we have to day is that the existing law still allows a lot of hunting to take place in all but name.

Do you think they'll introduce foxes on Alpha Centauri (or wherever mankind is living) then?

Well that's told you off then!!

[maggiebee]

From what I can gather from this thread the majority of people here are against fox hunting. The only thing that's getting up the slimeys noses is that the SNPs have a vote on this.

[retrocop]

What's a slimey please ?

[Svejk]

Well, it's not cricket, Maggie, doncha know.

[lankeela]

"Its been proven fairly conclusively that foxes have been introduced into certain areas, just so they can be hunted" - so has it been proven or not? 'fairly conclusively' wouId seem to me to indicate that it has not actuaIIy been proven.

[maggiebee]

Rhyming slang (affectionate) Slimey = Limey

[hc4361]

A slang word for a slang word? Where does it stop?

[chaptazbru2]

Thank you SNP x

lankeela....There is plenty of evidence that foxes have been introduced into some areas, so that they can be hunted...please see this :::

It abundantly clear to me that foxes are being raised so that they can be hunted. In fact, I can see no other reason why fox cubs should kept in captivity, in such a way. The hunting lobby say that fox numbers need to be kept down as they are a nuisance. But this evidence shows them up for the liars that they are.

[mikey4444]

Curiouser and curiouser ! I wonder how that fox got there ?

get it right maggie, rhymming slang is at least 2 words for 1, eg bubble and squeak, greek then you can drop the last words, hence bubbles. So for limey you can have slimey but that would have to end the phrase so for example: wet and slimey, Limey, then we'd be know as the "wets", see.
