If ever you needed a reason for English votes on English laws this is a shining example.

Yes, isn't it amazing. The 'poster child' for EVEL will be a law regarding the right of over-privileged toffs and city (w)bankers at their hardly ever occupied but pricing out the locals rural residences to dress up in ridiculous costumes and tear through the countryside with a bunch of dogs to hunt down and rip foxes apart. If it's the first time someone is there they may even get to have the still-warm fox blood on their face.
Clearly something that really belongs in a modern 1st world country in 2015.
I'm so proud to be English sometimes.
Incidentally sass aside this was exactly what the SNP were going for when they mentioned voting. They are nationalists, this just improved their case while staining EVEL. I agree with EVEL, hell I want a federal UK, or a FUK if you prefer, but to make this such a big issue is dumb.
Big mistake to put this off until after EVEL, make it such an issue, and feed into the nationalists. Should've taken the hit, accepted the loss, and gotten on with life. Way too much political capital wasted over something much of the population don't care about and most of the rest are vehemently opposed to.
