Anyway, since that last government took it upon itself to make hunting foxes with hounds illegal there have been those eager to see that the grand tradition of the hunt has not become lost to this once-great nation.
Obviously, this requires that there be something that needs hunting. Since anything that is either cute or fluffy – or has the appearance of so-being to those who know little or nothing of its ways – is unlikely to be allowed to be hunted. Because this country seems to have an unlimited supply of those killjoys who cannot see anyone doing anything they find enjoyable without those killjoys having an almost uncontrollable itch to see it made illegal, then the hunts need to find something no-one likes.
Obvious among such creatures are politicians, journalist, estate agents and other such modern-day vermin. Chasing each one has its virtues and the eradication of all such from our society can be nothing but a boon. However, some problems to remain with the possibility of say hunting politicians with hounds. First of all, obviously, is the problem of cruelty. However, experts have proved that the hounds should suffer no great detrimental effects from having too close a contact with politicians, proving elementary hygiene practices are adhered to, so that is one problem solved.
In future, then, it should soon be possible for all and sundry to delight in seeing the magnificent spectacle of their local member of parliament chased by a pack of hounds through the constituency that very MP has done so little to represent. Anything closer to true democracy than that would be much too difficult to envisage, especially in these times of mirthless woe.
