Whatever happened to the Labour Party? What with this and the invitation to developers to ruin prime, nature rich, countryside including SSSIs in exchange for a bit of scrub in the middle of urban sprawl is just too much to bear. I was in France recently and driving near farmland the air was alive with birds inc. swallows, martins and swifts. That sight is no longer part of UK life. Makes you want to kick them out at the next election until you see the alternative waiting in the wings (no pun intended). I'm just short of 80 and I remember when this country was alive with wildlife. Sure there was still scum, including the royals, who loved killing birds and animals for fun, just as there are today but there was still absolutely loads of animals and birds left for us all to enjoy. Those days have gone and are never coming back.
In my sorrow at the terrible attitudes, shown in the Commons during the grouse shooting debate, I forgot to berate the Labour Party for doing absolutely nothing to enforce the law banning fox hunting or, even worse, extending the badger cull when all the scientific evidence shows the badger to be an innocent victim but who needs scientific evidence when you can just ask a farmer what he wants. Rant over but heaven help the next politician who crosses my path.
I have not lived in UK for many years sounds like Labour still the conservatives’ lacky ! The class system just screams through this and yes, as I prior post intimated, it is all enabled and relished by the disgusting royal freeloaders who just ‘slake at the mouth’ to want to kill an animal or bird. As a young girl I was one of the few who fought hard to stop fox hunting and we felt so alone but the next generation came and picked up the slack. Keep up this amazing work, get into the schools, Zines, social media keep this next generation fuelled with fire about this abhorrent wasteful killing of our natural wildlife.

depressing reading, makes one wonder who votes for such heinous characters
