Matt says his missus is from a council estate. Kev mentions it. Matt wants to punch his teeth down his throat. 🤷‍♂️
 

 

I wondered when someone would point out the facts, and what does it matter if someone was raised on a council estate? Some of the most solid people I know were raised on estates.

I think the estate comment was in relation to the upper class being the only people who hunt.  Ie upper class toffs.

 

Matts comment was to illustrate that it isnt only upper class who hunt.

 

Yet the rest of the post was ignored and the council estate comment was highlighted.

 

That IMO is the main contributor to the response.

 

That is how I read it anyway.

 

Yes, hunting is an emotional

issue.  I grew up with an uncle who bread hounds and other gun dogs and helped run the Zetland hunt.  My dad grew up as a farm worker and despised the hunt.  But mainly from the point of view as they were treated like shit by the huntsmen.  Yet my father always said the hounds on the fox was one of the most efficient ways to despatch the fox.

 

I discussed this in person with Matty and his missus one night.  
 

The folk who participated in the hunt back then, are a very different crowd from those who hunt today.

 

So the prejudice (my father had and myself to an extent)  may have been the case years ago but isn’t the case now.

 

Edit:  there are many windup merchants on here.  Yes, they know who they are and continue to do so.

 

Pops at other people and pushing buttons to get a response.

I don’t think people realise that if you’re Sink Estate Scum that’s all you’ll ever be. 

Does that go for yourself?

By paying working class lackeys £40 a day. By trampling across land that they don't own or have a right to access. By endangering the public by chasing (for instance) deer across public roads. 

 

Last year I almost hit a stag on the A396 that was being pursued by some twat in fancy dress on a horse.

It would read better on the statement " whilst avoiding a stag galloping across the A396 , I hit the twat in fancy dress on a horse with my Vimek, which sustained no injury - my thoughts are with the stag's family , yr 'onour "  ;) K

Well I don’t know about anyone else, but seeing men who are ready to tear each other’s throats out over the honour of a woman squaring up to each other and calling each other ‘babe’ is exactly what I was hoping for when the new swear filter was introduced!
