But it is a class issue, there's no way it can't be.
Also, even if Blair saw this as diversion, it has been on the Labour maifesto, so it was inevitable that the vote would be taken eventually. I trust that with an election coming up and such an emotive issue, most of the MPs that voted for the ban will be more than aware of the feelings of their constituents and voted accordingly.
it wasnt blair who put it through, it was labour MPs who have wanted it put through like 5 time, whom the Lords block, and people were saying blair werent emotive enough to put it to parliament
Definitely.
Seeing as most Private Members Bills die without a trace.
I do feel that the only MP who voted on conscience alone was Ann Widdecombe, however.
This whole thing is a reversal. If they were all left wing protestors moaning about the war, or the police it would be quite acceptable for them to dump stuff on the streets, and I doubt many of you would raise an eyelid.
And before anyone says, no I don't give a shit about fox hunting. I can't believe that with all the other stuff that needs looking at in this country, fox hunting topped the lot.
We all know animal rights protestors are twats.
They wage war on people only tangibly connected to someone who works or is involved in research.
There's one firm in Nottingham that's gone bankrupt because protestors kept wrecking the equipment they supplied, and this was just a cement firm.
Some animal rights protestors are twats.
Apologies for that mass generalisation.
Personally I think they all are, the ones Iv met have been hard harted and cold, a bit like an extream communist or religious person, they dont care about whats happening, only about how this fits in with their warped ideology,

Having been involved in animal rights some years ago, I can tell you that a few people are like that, but the majority aren't.
Read an article/letter type thing a while back about the way their dogs are raised. If a pup doesn't show a certain personality trait... that is, aggression then it's shot and fed to other dogs. Plus what if a horse breaks its leg on the hunt?
BANG
Bye bye Mr Ed.
Plus you have the whole breeding debate as well... There are always going to be deformities from inbreeding cats or dogs to get a pedigree... I know that because they were selling cheap spaniels from pedigree litters that had facial deformities... Plus certain breeds end up with certain genetic problems as it is (like pugs can have sinus problems and whatnot).
Not to say I'm against breeding as a whole, I absolutely adore collies. But ya get me point?
