Foxhunting

[SocketRocket]

If in any doubt, you can easily work out when a politician is lying; their lips are moving.

She doesn't have any!

That can only be sorted by
a] Westminster abolishing The Scottish Parliament.
b] Scotland becoming an independent country
c] England establishing it's own Parliament.

Other than that the England question will make the West Lothian question look like a wee puff of wind.

Either A or B would get my vote :thup:

Not bad for a novice liar though... wonder if she lies to the Scottish electorate? Silly me! She's a politician, of course she lies.

Of course she does.

Her and her predecessor were caught out lying to Holyrood when they were trying to block the truth about legal advice being sought about EU membership.
Cost the taxpayers a few quid that one.

No different to any other politician, regardless of what they and their sheep say and believe.

The 'we won't vote on issues which don't effect Scotland' went out the window when every single SNP amendment to the Scotland Bill was voted down by the Tories (both blue and red varieties).

 

[chippa1909]

Some people like to call SNP supporters 'sheep'. Please look in before looking out.

Baaaaaa. 🐏









If you believe that to be the reason, then fair enough, your opinion is yours.
I'm firmly in the 'polemical politics' camp (much more of an accurate description of the snp than 'progressive politics', is it not?)

Foxhunting is not an English vote. It is about the protection of wildlife.

In England. If the SNP care so much, why is the Scottish law different?

Lol.

When the FM was outlining her principled stance about the sort of issues the SNP wouldn't vote on fox hunting was the very example she cited so you can infer it is one of the most obvious English only matters.

This week showed that the snp will do anything to provoke an argument and that the FM is an unprincipled liar. The attempts to justify themselves since then have been embarrassing.

I am not defending the SNP, can't stand them and I am Scottish.
I am totally opposed to fox hunting in any shape or form north and south of the "border".

 

[virtuocity]

The SNP has stood in to vote against hunting animals for sport.

I for one am disgusted.

You mean the Scotland Bill that was agreed by all parties, including the SNP, last November and was supposed to go through Parliament unopposed..... right until the SNP reneged on that agreement and decided they wanted to amend it.

So just who broke that agreement first? Shock of shocks! It was the squeaky clean, hard done by SNP, who then shouted from the roof tops that the nasty English MP's had voted down their amendments but failed to add that they decided to renege first...

I am neither a Conservative nor in favour of fox-hunting and for those reasons I was happy that the PM made this an issue of conscience allowing his members a free vote.

What I do not understand is why the SNP felt the need to perform a U-turn on its stated position of not involving itself in purely English legislation.

In 2014 before I started in Sports photography, I was a wildlife photographer. While watching a Kingfisher nest I spotted a Fox den. Coming up to the time of year for that sort of thing I had both on watch. When the wee fox cubs emerged it was pretty amazing to watch and photgraph. Everyone has a reason to do things. Killing animals for sport is silly in my opinion. What if it was the other way around?

Anyway here was a resulting image, and I still couldn't understand why anyone would want to kill these amazing creatures

They aren't quite so cute after they've paid a visit to your chicken coop...

There appears to be many pro foxhunting posters on here.

Publicity & a lot of 'look at me, aren't I important'.

Slime.

I would like an answer to this question also...


The silence is deafening

 

[KenL]

Goodness knows - all laws should be the same in the UK. One nation one set of laws!

Foxhunting in Scotland is about as popular as Shinty in London.
I think we have only a handful of active packs so not enough to bother folks.
Most see it as the end of bygone sports like cock fighting and badger baiting.

Can you clear this up once and for all.

You prefer being governed by a hypocritical, u-turning non democratic party. Hypocritical in the fact that their not keen on the RUK having the same laws as Scotland. Un democratic in the way they (you) the SNP cannot understand that the majority of the Scotish nation do not wish independent. U-turning in the fact that they stated that they have no interest in voting on England/Wales only issues.

You hate all things British apart from your wife and children.

Your not a Tory fan.
