I do so hope so. We have a country in a mess never seen before and Fox hunting is not going to fix it

Exactly, the thing that pished me of the most about the entire hunting debate was the amount of Parliamentry time it wasted, some thing like 700+ hours. Imo no matter how flawed some might think the act is, it should never be debated again in Parliament again.

If the ban wasn't introduced, would Labour have had to pay back the £1million+ in donations from an organisation, which were only made in order for a ban on fox hunting to be introduced?

The party said the Political Animal Lobby (PAL), which made a £1m donation to Labour before the general election in 1997, donated an additional £100,000 last year.
The revelation threatens to fuel claims by the Conservatives that the government was bribed to bring forward plans to ban fox hunting.

Only if the Tories have to pay back all the money they've accepted from people attempting to influence party policy and legislation.

Pah, next they'll be suggesting that Labour were bribed to exclude F1 from the ban on tobacco advertising... oh wait.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
Some people 
Police in Tower Hamlets have begun an investigation after a video that appears to show a masked gang beating a fox to death was posted online

It was the internet video that sparked a media outcry: grainy footage that seemed to show four masked men drugging a fox and later beating it to death with cricket bats in a London park that was posted on YouTube and Facebook earlier this week.
But the Guardian can reveal that the new sport of "urban foxhunting" was an elaborate hoax.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
I did actually think it was a bit of trouble for chav types to go to, what with lacing the food but I have been reading/hearing stories like this for ages
Killer dogs are being used to hunt down foxes in urban areas in a disturbing new 'sport'
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...y-streets.html
Interesting thoughts on it by Seb
London Evening Standard, columnist Sebastian Shakespeare went so far as to celebrate urban foxhunting as the first and best example of David Cameron's "big society" in action.
Oh and I loved the way the hoaxers labled it pythonesque  Well if they mean in the sense it wasn't very funny and they take themselves a little bit to seriously then have a point imo

I suspect that wheelie bins have made life a lot harder for urban foxes.They used to regularly tip over my old bins and tear open the bin bags which used to drive me nuts with having to recollect all the garbage and rebag it.damned nuisances...but they can't tip my wheelie bins over at all.

Sorry to be pedantic, but it's not a "hoax", it's a hoax.
It wasn't a quote or ironic.
