It seems militant pro-hunt activists are planning a campaign of vandalism against railways and reservoirs.
Funny isn’t it? When the hunting debate is in the news, the pro-hunters always wheel out a few token “I’m a cheeky cockney bricky, me, and I love hunting” cases to persuade us that we’re not dealing with a class-based issue. But the alleged targets of this new campaign by the Real Countryside Alliance reveal the true social bias. They’ll target the public transport used by millions of people, many on limited incomes who have no access to private cars. Of course they wouldn’t damage any roads… wouldn’t want to risk scratching anyone’s 4×4, would we? And of course we all need the drinking water provided by our reservoirs… well, apart from the people who can afford to drink exclusively bottled water.
So, wouldn’t it be unfortunate if, every time the ‘Real CA’ carried out one of their attacks, a number of Bentleys, Rolls Royces and Range Rovers had bricks accidentally lobbed through their windows…? ;-)
