To cap it off, one time he had his 3 kids, then 8 and under, playing in their own garden and the *******s chased a fox across his farm and into said garden churning up the lawn and with a pack of baying dogs in the heat of the chase. scaring the **** out of the kids.

They were unrepentant but generously offered 2 free tickets for their annual horserace event as compensation.

A friend of his had the right idea - he would go out on hunting days with a rifle doing pest control. If he saw the hunt in pursuit, he just shot the fox. The gentlemen were not amused that their "sport" had been spoiled.

Geoff I'm with you about the men in pink , their arrogance and sense of entitlement has no bounds Fox hunting is barbaric and belongs as history . But I will be surprised if we get through this parliament without even a vote on bringing it back
