I spotted this chap trotting down the road in Hyde last night


Isn’t he, or is it a she - cute? In fact I think it is a mummy fox because close behind was a far smaller fox. I suspect it was a pup being taken out on a learning survival skills mission by its mother. I really cannot understand what kind of enjoyment deranged psychopaths and sadists get from hunting down and then killing these cute little animals. They are essentially an undomesticated dog and persecuting them in the name of ‘sport’ should remain strictly illegal.

Not a very good place for a fox to be trotting around in especially with Tom(the butcher) Hagen around
We all know his sick views on slaughtering defenseless animals for the fun of it.

Tom Hagen said...

You mean Tom Hatton? Tom Hagen is a blogger on Tameside Mafia.

Tom Hatton said...

That fox is vermin! They destroy the lives on many hill farmers and they need to be kept under control. The idea that fox hunters want to cause unnecessary harm is ludicrous.

How about we let country people deal with foxes in country areas and let us urbanites deal with foxes in our towns and cities.

Omnivore said...

Fox hunting is an old English tradition and vermin control. Two good reasons to keep it. Rural foxes will be shot or snared anyway, which in many cases is slower and more painful. Any 'bunnyhuggers' should focus their campaigning on getting rid of the barbaric cruelty that is Halal slaughter.

Tom Hatton said...

yes omnivore.

Blue Labour said...

Tom! I thought you were dead. Have you been busy pressing Cameron to give us the referendum he promised and telling him to stop doctoring candidate selection, 'What do you mean you want a LOCAL candidate? And it's a man! The best person for the job? Outrageous! Find me a Somalian lesbian immediately, someone who will obviously be in touch with rural middle class England'.

Tom Hatton said...

haha - I can assure you, blue labour, i'm very much alive! Just been busy with college etc and not had much to say :D......

tear me apart its good for me said...

Why did you think it was you Tom did the description fit you.

Anonymous said...

The description fits anyone that likes to take part in blood sports. It's evil shit, keep it banned, and stop the other ways around the ban!

Judge Berg fighting for justice? said...

Judge Berg is being despatched to the 'Holy Land' to protect, and fight for the human rights of Palestinians. He's concerned at the growing number of Palestinian chlidren, being killed in their beds by Zionists murder gangs.

Power to the people said...

Did you see the 'establishment' at the Lord Mayor's speech last night? Brown, the Arch Druid of Canterbury and all the other 'For Christ's sake don't rock the boat I've got a comfy seat and I want to stay in it 'til we sink' brigade. Traitors every one.

NEVER A CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT said...

DAVID CAMERON WOULD REMOVE THE LAW TO BAN HUNTING IF HE CAME INTO POWER

Roy West said...

Hunting is evil, glad it was banned! can't see how anyone would get pleasure out of blood sports. Can say anything against those involved in blood sports, because it's all just a power trip issue for them!

Tameside Citizen said...

Tom, I used to have ignorant opinions like that when I was your age. Hopefully you will grow out of it! Foxes are victims of lies perpetuated by the pro hunting lobby. By clicking here you will see some of those myths exposed as the lies they really are, however, I do accept that in rural farming communities, foxes can be a nuisance if they are attacking hens, lambs and sheep etc.

Tom Hatton said...

TC - I reject your argument about age. My youth does not invalidate my argument.

Also, I like foxes. That's why I believe we should have a humane, cost-free (to the taxpayer) way of keeping their population under control. Hunting with dogs is the *most* humane method of killing foxes. Shooting them cleanly very rarely happens and there is nothing worse than letting animals suffer agonizing deaths for the sake of an outdated class war.

I've no vested interest in fox hunting either. I've got better things to do on a saturday than gallop around countryside with a bunch of part-time country folk. If what these people do stops Old Reynard from dying a disgusting death and they're harming no one else then let them do it. We need a bit of common sense in this issue.

Bring back Fox Hunting!

hyacinth said...

plenty of vermin too shoot just go to tameside magistrates court and pick them out make the town a better place to live

Tom Hatton said...

A further point worth mentioning is dog fighting. We never hear Tameside's resident anti-hunt cllr, John Taylor, condemning this 'sport'.

Why? Because it's working class!

Let's face it, Labour approach this issue from class based motives - it isn't about animal welfare - it's about getting one up on the toffs! This kind of cynical politics is really off-putting to people.

And don't pretend dig fighting isn't a Tameside issue - it happens in our parks all the time. All you need to do is see the Rottweilers all scarred and disfigured with their chav owners to realise that dog fighting is widespread.

Perhaps the anti-hunting lobby and Cllr Taylor could channel their energies into fighting this cruel sport.

His barks worse than his bite said...

Dog fighting is already illegal Tom and people do get prosecuted for it,stay busy at college but do try and keep up with events lad.

3/10 must do better

Tom Hatton said...

The point being that dog fighting has continued to rise under animal welfare, therefore undermining their claims that they act in the interests of animals. Is that clear enough for you to follow?

Or have the Labour party only developed their animal welfare side since they became obsessed with the fox?

Tom Hatton said...

*under Labour sorry

Islam out of Britain said...

The Labour Party's contribution to animal welfare is to assist Muslims in expanding the barbaric and deliberately cruel practice of Halal slaughter at every opportunity. Anything for a few votes.
One law for them... .Pure hypocrisy.

Thatcherite said...

Mr Hatton, the upshot of your leader's total lie re the European referendum will be a huge loss of votes, with the two main nationalist Parties being the main beneficiaries.

Give me a vote on my sovereignty said...

There wont be a referendum on Europe,the facts are both main party's are pro European the Tories took us in and now they make noises to gain votes.
Take the vote now and we are out of it, take a vote on the latest treaty and it will be a big NO bringing the union into chaos, the Irish had to be bribed into changing their minds and it worked.
No other country that has joined the union have gained like the Irish have, when they saw some of their sovereignty being reduced they kicked off and we all had some hope.
A few hundred millions in grants later the guinness was flowing again and they changed their minds, had they not there would have been another vote next year until the grants and guinness worked.
We are now in up to our necks and about to have a useless president who none of us will have a say on.
We don't need anyone in Europe to help us survive we are mugs and get mugged each week by stupid European laws nobody takes any notice of except one country, and that us.
Take a couple of issues like fishing and agriculture the rest of Europe fish where ever they want and catch what they want, take a look at our fishing fleets all tied up,we are subsidising thousands of basic hill farmers to produce less than f**k all no wonder they like this exclusive club.
Did you know that the Southern Irish take pigs over the border to Northern Irish border to claim a subsidy the take them back again and again for more, its the same pigs.
The worst offenders are the so called anti Europeans like UKIP who are filling their boots with our taxes any honourable person would have won the vote then not taken up the place making the political statement we all needed on Europe, but the thick sods that vote for them have just made them a bit richer, the BNP are the same just there for the money.
So forget all this crap about a referendum our last hope Cameron bottled it two weeks ago blaming the Irish and the Czechs,how do these people sleep at night hes lost my vote and I bet a lot of others will now not vote for him. we might as well stick with what we have got, we are in this club and not coming out so lets get the best deals we can, anyone got any pigs I can borrow to take over to Ireland for a quick subsidy.

Do you remember when we tried to join the EEC and the French said we could not, General Degaulle the man who fled his country leaving many brave men and women behind including many brave British heroes who were fighting to save his skin did not want us.
He returned in triumph truth is he did F**K all we did it with our allies, why would we want to join up with people like that, just give us a shout if you get invaded again we will rescue you again and many thanks for all the illegal immigrants you help to send us instead of dealing with them in your country

Juggernaut said...

What an extremely boring and long winded way of saying you've given up. A totally pointless contribution.

Never give up

too many hypocrites said...

Great post Give Me A vote, you perfectly sum up my feelings.

Nationalist said...

'So forget all this crap about a referendum', 'we might as well stick with what we've got'. Exactly the sort of defeatist crap the Euro Federalists want to hear.
