Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

The source is just about every newspaper in the country. There hasn't been any attack yet, just the expected bunch of internet freaks and loons posting threats of potential visits. I am glad the police are taking the threats seriously to, anyone with any experience of some of these animal rights extremists knows what they are capable of.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

Thats right Flyboy deny that threats have been made the same way you denied it was a fox that caused the injuries in the first place :rolleyes:

Hears an idea that should keep the "toffs" and the sensible working classes happy ...instead of fox hunting how about activist hunting ....40 foxhounds chasing some animal rights idiots through the woods

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

Is this supposed to be proof?

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

Have you ever seen the result of a visit by the Fox hunting extremists

I could go on but i think you get the idea that there is idiots on both sides of the coin.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

So, still no evidence, apart from a few right-wing newspapers' guesses. A few people have suggested, as some have on here, that it might not have been a fox. Sorry, but I don't consider that to be a threat and quite frankly, I am surprised that you do.

Why have you brought class into this particular part of the discussion?

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

Well i have had my fun in the past chasing Fox hunting activists :LOL:

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

So, have they supported fox hunting? I did not say they hadn't, but did say you appear to be assuming they have.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

for gods sake Flyboy do you just come on here to wind people up and deny everything that doesn't fit into your way of thinking The story is all over the news it was on sky news this morning 6am ,and i daresay it will be covered by the BBC in a couple of days when they catch up with the rest of the world

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

But there is no story, there are no threats, just a few people on a website saying they don't believe that it was a fox and that they don't like the mother.

What part of, “no specific threats" means that there were threats?

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

whatever has been been happening is enough for the police to be involved or don't you believe them either :rolleyes:

and don't forget nobody has said there have been attacks it's the fear of attacks or threats the police are worried about but you keep denying it and demanding more proof

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

Err...that is the point of this thread, isn't it. Cameron has declared his support for fox hunting by promising to repeal the ban during this parliament and BoJo has often spoken of his support for the repeal of the ban.

But why have you raised the issue of class in this particular discussion?

Unless I missed it, I didn't read anywhere that the police said that they are concerned enough to protect them over it. My suspicion is that there is an officer in attendance (I did hear hat it was a PCSO, not an armed bodyguard), because of the press's relentless badgering of the family.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

probably the same reason as i did ....to annoy you

wether you like or not class does come into it ,wealthy people fox hunt with horses and dogs not factory workers

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

yes riding factory workers sporting jodhpurs and a red coat is frowned upon in the country side ;)

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

then you missed it it was reported as police protection which could mean any number of things from officers at the door to them just monitoring the situation every few days

At the weekend, a Scotland Yard spokesman said it was not aware of any specific threats against the Koupparis family but there was 'concern' about internet aggression.
A police source said: 'We are aware that there is a potential threat', and an officer has been assigned to guard the family's home.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

Well that's going to open up a can of worms, becasue the hunt supporters have always insisted that it is the anti-hunt lobby that is causing the class divide on this issue. They also are very keen on projecting an image of inclusion within their membership. But if you want to go against the mantra, be my guest.

Then please point to where the police have confirmed they are protecting this family against anti-hunt protesters, who have threatened them, because that has been the inference during this whole exchange. Also bear in mind the quote from Scotland Yard:
