Other than a few rabid right wingers - who don't want to talk too much about this legislation and just get it through quickly - I don't think there will be too much support for the Tories on this topic.Wow,
What the SNP has just done is a serious constitutional matter,
Plans To Change Fox Hunting Rules Pulled
Its not well done the SNP at all!
What they are doing is behaving like some obstreperous union.
This has little to do with hounds or foxes, as in Scotland they are allowed unlimited numbers of blood thirsty hounds!.
What they have done is voted on a matter that does not affect Scotland, against previous understandings, all because they know that the present government wants to change the rules so that Scottish MPs can't vote on English matter and vise versa.
I can't think of any thing more stupid, it will only hasten the split.
On the other hand this is what SNP wants anyway, so perhaps not stupid after all.
Hypocrisy or what?
Fox hunting is currently banned throughout Britain - but in Scotland an unlimited amount of dogs can be used by farmers or landowners to flush out foxes.
In England and Wales there is a limit of just two dogs and the Government had wanted to amend the law to bring it in line with Scotland.
As for hastening the end of the Union, surely the Tories are to blame there by showing just where their priorities are. Red coats, trumpets and packs of hounds may appeal to the shires, but does little to show empathy or understanding with the average Glaswegian. Indeed one such chap who works for me described the Tories as "wired to the moon".
