Jeremy Irons, the actor, also registered his opposition to the ban by attending the Bicester in Oxfordshire. He said the legislation was "the thin end of the wedge".

In American , "slippery slope."

"Play up, play up, and get tore in!"

Hope they continue to defy the ban. The farmers will sure appreciate it.

We could use some organized fox hunts here in Michigan, might help our pheasant population. Unfortunately, with the expansion of sub divisions, I don't think they would approve of folks on horses thundering across their lawns in pursuit of foxes.......LOL!

Who knew he'd bred?

"England is made up of minorities, whether Asian or huntsmen. I believe we should be allowed to live in liberty,"

Sounds like a patriot amongst the acting set. And a darned good actor he is, too.

"I feel a deep sadness that my Government has allowed this ban to go through, but I have confidence in my country and the people of my country that an unjust law cannot last very long."

Either good oratory or sad self-delusion. Westminster and the apparently perpetual majority of Labour does not care a fig for what the little people think of their policies. Let them eat cake!!

The crux of the problem is that they can only use two dogs. On CNN yesterday, there was a hunter with his kennel of dogs going out for their last hunt the day before the ban. He said the dogs lived for hunting, having been bred for it. When asked what he would do with his dogs, he said, "Shoot them. I won't have them suffering by being penned." Very sad. I hate leftists.

This is one of the all-time stupidest laws I've ever heard of and I do hope the hunters can outfox the pols to get it thrown out.

You can still KILL the fox, you just can't SCARE it TOO MUCH before hand.

Good for them. There should be NO acceptance of this outrageous law.

Bravo, for the Country Alliance.

Time for the tree-hugging city dwellers to cop on, and back off.

Put homosexuals marrying in the middle of it and the leftist might like it. How about hunting the protesters pets?

I say Old Sport, which two hounds did you say were responsible for running Mr. Fox to ground, what?

And I understand that for tomorrow's hunt there will be another two hounds designated?

Brilliant!

Absolutely, top drawer!
