On Saturday 3rd April 1993 Tom Worby, aged just 15, was killed by huntsman Tony Ball at the closing meet of the Cambridgeshire Foxhounds at Low Farm near Gravesley in Cambridgeshire. Mr Ball was never charged or convicted for this unlawful killing. This was the very first time Tom Worby had accompanied hunt saboteurs on their mission to protect wildlife.…
The 2019 Torrington Farmers Hunt Boxing Day meet in the centre of Great Torrington was a remarkable event for one key reason. The TFH had actually submitted details of their event and they even applied to Devon County Highways for road closure. Remarkable! Previously they have never formally applied for road closure and have never at any time in the…
The Cottesmore Hunt are a notorious organised criminal gang who routinely engage in illegal fox-hunting, aided by a number of knuckle-dragging, violent supporters who have openly admitted that the Cottesmore Hunt ignores the ban on fox-hunting. One of these supporters (Marc Birney) has recently attempted to discourage Northants Hunt Saboteurs from mentioning his fellow, violent, hunt supporting fools Ollie Barton…
Fox hunting in the UK is massively unpopular, as reflected in numerous polls. It is widely understood that Theresa May’s statement in 2017, that she was in favour of fox hunting, cost the Tory party valuable votes in the snap election that year. So why have a number of prominent Conservative ministers and MPs recently hosted fox hunt meets on…
Torrington Farmers Hunt Boxing Day 2018 – Street Drinkers Boxing Day meets are considered to be the most significant in the hunting season and viewed by hunt supporters as important traditional events. But increasingly, this view is being challenged by anti-hunt protesters, disgruntled local people and others who have become aware that hunts up and down the country flout…
Fear-mongering Tories like to point their fingers at Jeremy Corbyn and worry the electorate by telling them that he would be a disaster for business in this country. But the tsunami of businesses leaving the country due to Tory Brexit has nothing to do with Corbyn – it’s entirely the responsibility of the Conservative party, as is their disastrous economic…
Electoral fraud, in the UK, is remarkably rare. In 2017 there were just 28 allegations of voter fraud from 44.6 million votes cast. That’s a measly 0.000063% which will have had zero impact on the results. Yet the Tories want to make it mandatory for all voters to present photographic ID when they go to the polling stations, allegedly to…
Back in 2016 Conservative MPs voted to reject a proposed amendment to the Government’s Housing and Planning Bill that would require landlords to make their homes “fit for human habitation.” This common-sense amendment was proposed by the Labour party but rejected by 312 votes to 219. It should be noted that 72 of the Tory MPs who voted against this…
The exceptionalism that is applied to people involved in Hunting, throughout the UK, is staggering. While regular members of public can expect to be pulled over, reprimanded and potentially fined for road traffic offences, such as driving without due care and attention or using a mobile device while at the wheel, people engaged in hunting are repeatedly getting away with…
