NormanH Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Amidst all the anti-Brown/Blair sentiment on this site, this story should remind people of true Conservative priorities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Frankly if that is all that you reproach the Tories for NormanH then you should get canvassing for them and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 You should have read what he wrote.He mentions this as a Tory PRIORITY, ie when the world is going to hell in a handbasket the major policy discussions are about preserving the rights of the inbred to pursue the inedible. A subtle point, easily missed.He also points out that on this forum no cliché is left unturned when insulting Labour politicians, and there is uncritical luvving up of anyone to the right of Ghengis Khan. Which you have just pretty much illustrated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Duck speak, Dick. I did read what he wrote Dick. Frankly, Dick, if the Tories get into power I suspect there will be many priorities for them to deal with rather than the blown up nonsense of hunting. However, Dick, at the 'peak time' for hunts to take to the fields, it is something that can quite legitimately be raised.As for insulting Labour politicians, lets face it Dick, and even you as a Labour supporter and even perhaps activist must go some way to agree, they have not exactly come out smelling of roses in the last x years.So please Dick do not assume that you have a monopoly on wisdom and the reading skill. And stop insulting the views of the posters on this forum, Dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 To be totally honest, I do not know what any UK political party stands for as I have not lived there for far too long to be in touch. But I did find the original post a little unnecessary as, I thought, was Dick's outburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Let's see what's in the manifesto's before we start worrying about side issues like this. I suspect in practice the law on hunting is not what anti's thought it would be, and the pro's are happy enough to tow the line...I doubt they would risk losing an election over the issue frankly.

BJSLIV Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 the pro's are happy enough to tow the lineI suppose they don't have much of an alternative. At present it's drag hunting or nowt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hmm, except that I believe if they 'accidently' come across a fox they are allowed to chase it, or putting it another way, the powers that be 'understand' that it may be too difficult to prevent a pack of hounds giving chase....[8-)]Sorry BJSLIV, it was too late at night for the towing reference.[:)][:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 By posting such worthless inflammatory drivel you simply place yourself in the same category as those you endlessly accuse and castigate from the opposite corner.Search as I might Dick I can find no reference to this being a 'priority', surely not indulging in a bit of hyperbole are we [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Isn't it strange how an anti-Tory story is 'inflammatory drivel' whereas stories going the other way, replete with insults and 'witty' plays on words are fair game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 [quote user="Alan Zoff"]'Should'nt that be will get my vote, 'Will'? [/quote]Yes, it probably will, but the conditional was intended...In all seriousness, the difference between the two main parties is so slight that it probably would come down to trivial matters like that if I had to make a choice between them. By that I don't mean that they have identical policies, rather that so many of those proposed by Labour could equally well have come out of a past Conservative manifesto and vice versa. It was so much better when there was a distinction between socialism and conservatism - but then it's not so much different in France when you look closely at what the individual parties actually stand for (with the obvious exception of those on the extreme right and left).
