I wouldn’t say I’ve ever been a big fan of the hunt, but I’m certainly not opposed to it either.

 

The digging out of foxes that have gone to ground never sat well with me, though.

I suspect I’m not alone in this.

Don't think this one was taken out of the freezer or forged by the sabs, this is the case where the huntsman threw 4 live fox cubs to the hounds in the kennels in 2016.

I've said it before, a Fox should be able to go to ground, no digging, no blocking bolt holes. Under those circumstances a fit Fox will get out of the way.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if fox hunting caused more people to have negative views of the countryside ...

Yes, but trying to analyse and reason or appeal to tradition, herd instinct, blood lust, won't separate a cosmopolitian sentimentalist from his feelings. As many have said, it's emotive. Killing is savage just as butchery isn't for squeamish. But death is part of life. Meat doesn't come from cling-filmed styrofoam trays in the shop. Using words like effective and efficient misses the point IMO. I've worked for a forester/gamekeeper on a small estate for nine years and am on arbtalk for trees but could say more on this.

Maybe someone will tell them that in order to 'give away' £60 quid a week they need to take in £80 a week in tax first.

Universal Basic Income is likely to be the future whether you like it or not.  It's nothing to do with loonie lefties. 
AI and automation are going to make millions of people redundant from their jobs.
