Fee-Paying Schools

The Gaffer · 01-23-2004, 02:14 PM

I guess it's a matter of whether you think it's morally acceptable to kill animals for pleasure. If society as a whole has decided that it is immoral, and made it illegal, then the fact that it's your land is neither here nor there.

What gets my goat is that the kind of people who moan about us townies not understanding the ways of the country are quite happy to pocket massive handouts in the form of agricultural subsidies. In fact, so massive that they get more subsidy than the whole of the rest of (UK) industry put together.
