It seems incredible that when there is so much in this country that needs urgent attention such as badly run railways, a malfunctioning health service, falling educational standards, badly thought out constitutional changes, dubious reasons for sending our soldiers into a major war and stalling on demands for a referendum on the European Union constitution, the Government seeks to waste valuable parliamentary time on an anti-hunting bill.
Is this done deliberately to distract the country from the real issues?
Most people do not care about hunting one way or the other.
But most people do care whether or not they get to work on time, whether their children are properly educated and whether or not they are ruled by a government that manipulates them through spin and deceit.
