Why keep going on about fox hunting?

8:10am Wednesday 21st April 2010 in Read

SIR – While the other candidates for Worcester are explaining their policies on the economy, health, employment and education, Michael Foster seems determined to fight his election on the single issue of fox hunting.

Having made expert use of television, the press, his website, YouTube and Twitter, Mr Foster has managed to keep hunting at the forefront of his campaign.

It must be 50 years since a pack of foxhounds last ventured into the city centre but, according to Mr Foster, hunting is number one on the political agenda for Worcester.Others may argue that the political notoriety hunting brings is top of the list for Michael Foster.

Well he can hardly speak about the economy, health, employment and education can he as his Nu-Labour chums, who he blindly follows, have stuffed the lot up. Fox hunting is a mere distraction and shows that in reality, Foster has nothing worthwhile to offer.

It is a bit like standing on the titanic and complaining about the lack of deck chairs!

If Mr Foster's "number one priority" is Fox Hunting, and he keeps banging on about it, and puts it above the economy, health, the environment, jobs, immigration and education, then his name gets firmly crossed off my list of 'who to vote for'.
.
People are very divided about the Fox Hunting issue, which is understandable, but if you think, Mr Foster, that people are more concerned about this one single issue than everything else that's affecting the country and the county, then I'm afraid that you're a bit of a pillock.

No he doesn’t think that Tulstar he hopes that, the issue of fox hunting will cloud all the other and more important issues. If that’s micheal fosters only hope, I should start packing now, looking forward to hearing you’ve been voted out. As you’ve done nothing for Worcester in all the time you’ve supposed to be representing this fine medieval city and its people.

I hear all this unnecessary criticism of our devoted and trustworthy local MP one Mr M Foster, apart from his enthusiasm regarding his banning of fox hunting. Stop and give yourselves time and think what he achieved for this city and its people and you will amaze yourselves.

Come on then Cromwell please enlighten us on what Mr Foster has done for us.
Regarding his banning of fox hunting the Foster bill failed and was withdrawn. But another bill was introduced at the insistence of the paymasters of the animal rights movement, this was the bill that was forced through parliament.
