Fox hunting. An utterly bizarre statement to say she will allow a vote to bring it back.

Why is it 'bizarre'?

An elitist vile and cruel pastime. Hey why not do bear baiting as well.

Well duh, she's a Tory. What other kind of pastime would a Tory have?

Got to agree. I don't like fox hunting personally but they are posh toffs who do this thing sadly. The only good news I take it would just be vote to start with and hopefully it doesn't win. The problem is stuff like this will come up. I have to vote Tory because I want to have the brexit mandate but I will have to put up with tax rises (mind you all would raise tax) and fox hunting votes as a consequence. It's a tough one I agree.

The only Brexit deal we will get is the one that the other 27 countries decide.

just shows the mind set of a large swathe of tory voters that with everything else that's going on bringing back fox hunt is an important issue to them in the forth coming general election, bizarre indeed.

Wrong. Ultimately it'll be the one that's agreed between the UK and German industry.
Latvia, Estonia, Cyprus, Malta, Slovenia et al will be irrelevant.

Partly true, the banks will also have a say, unless they decide not to get involve and just relocate which is a little worrying and seems to be what some have already decided to do.

So as unpalatable as fox hunting is, you would place it as a higher determinent of where to put your 'x' than say (to name a few) health, education, reducing poverty, bombing innocents in foreign climes (oops, I mean 'collateral damage') & reducing energy costs?

Yes and it'll be the deal that works for Germany first and foremost. This won't be a negotiation.

Which then will be free trade given the reliance on German industry and the UK
The talk here is about Germany and France.... Their cooperation will have a bearing on how things work out.

It wont - they will do as Germany tells them as they always have

well quite obviously a large number of tories do or may wouldn't have raised the matter.
Yes, but with the absence of Britain and now someone who wants EU reforms, they have a vested interest in building France up. There will be a lot going on now between Germany and France, and I suspect Brexit will be stalled as long as possible.
They want votes from the country. The cities may still be labour in parts, but a few promises on things that matter more in the country will catch some votes.
And with Brexit they don't have to worry about libtards and courts in Europe seeing killing animals for fun as regressive.

You don't have much of a clue about Britain, do you? The Tory vote is strongest in the rural areas. Not that I agree with fox hunting, it's abhorrent, but the Tories always pay their loyal voters one way or another. Also, the ban on fox hunting had nothing to do with the EU, ironically, the toffs themselves appealed to the European Court of Human Rights to have the ban lifted!
Labour's voted is strongest in the large metropolitan areas:

Which is what I said. The tories want votes in the country. Labour is still strong in the cities. Fox hunting is not an issue in the cities...or if it is, the tories won't gain votes in the cities by bringing back fox hunting. They may get a few more in the country though, or retain what they already have. If they can try and get the ban lifted by appealing to the EU courts, you can bet your bottom dollar that people would try the same thing to get it reinstated- if we are still in the EU.

It was a really stupid thing to say by May. A lot of none elitest normal people would be voting Tory due to Brexit, and due to the other two main competition parties being almost unelectable. By doing this she will have definitely turned a few heads.
My personal opinion is that Fox hunting is disgusting. If she is sick enough to think it is alright she should have just kept it to herself. What a complete idiot... Asking for people to vote elsewhere instead.

Theresa May doing absolutely nothing. Looks about right for a change.Economist magazine again...

Even mentioning Fox Hunting is a tactical mistake. May has lost 1000's of votes by doing it.
If she keeps on about hard Brexit and the economy is starting to wobble, she may lose even more...

Superb, absolutely superb, one of my best friends is a Brit living in Oslo, he loves it, they look after their people very well, families are the front and centre of their life. For me Corbyn is the only vote, why would you want to vote for a party that is secretly selling off the NHS and state education system, the NHS was fine until the Austerity period, inner city chools are now being targeted with funding cuts, they then under achieve allowing Education trusts to sweep them up and then "improve" them...

Not at all I'm voting Tory this time, second time ever, first time was for WM Mayor. I can't possibly vote for an IRA supporter.

Appreciate the sentiment Cap, but you have to look to the present and the future. Why are we buying BMW's, their company helped blitz our city? Corbyn, yes he's a tool, but its the party and the policies that will effect the joe on the streets....just a shame Labour can't come up with a good one.

I wonder if our apolitical Royal Family are supportive of fox hunting? As toffs go, they don't come much toffier than the Royals. My interest was sparked by a recent report claiming that Prince Charles arrived at the Palace one evening with a curled up vixen on top of his head. When asked by Prince Phillip why this was so, he replied "Well Papa, at breakfast this morning I was asked by dearest Mama what my plans were for the day. I said that I was going to Sunderland to open a plastics factory. To which she replied 'Sunderland? Wear the fox hat'."
Right, back to the serious debate.
