 We were not exactly sure which side the protester pictured
on the left was on, until reading the Reuters
caption, which read, "Pro-hunting
demonstrators gather outside the Houses of Parliament in London, September
15, 2004. The centuries-old pursuit of fox hunting takes centre stage
in Britain on Wednesday when parliament votes on a ban against a backdrop
of noisy protests and political wrangling."
On a telated note, the Telegraph
of London reports that
Fox Hunting is not the only sport endangered by this alarming wave of
politcal correctness…
Now they want to ban the ancient pursuit of MPs
Another grand old British sport came under threat yesterday as Labour
MPs called for an immediate ban on the hunting of themselves. They said
acute mental distress had been inflicted on them when they found themselves
hunted by five young men who ran into the House of Commons on Wednesday
afternoon.
Peter Hain, the Leader of the House, endorsed the call for an immediate
ban, telling MPs: "It is obviously unacceptable for whatever happened
yesterday ever to happen again."
