"Generally only dictators would dream of pushing through a policy against that level of public opposition so we hope our government will respect the will of the people.”However, there is a minority that still supports fox hunting in Britain. Tim Bonner, chief executive of the Countryside Alliance, has been a vocal critic of the hunting ban. He said:
"Our figures demonstrate unequivocally that the Hunting Act lies in tatters. The problem with the Act is that over the past two years all those prosecuted under the Act have had nothing to do with 'hunts'. "The law that was supposed to have got rid of hunts is now being used as little more than a vehicle to harass them."Official Man of the People and supporter of fox hunting Nigel Farage was spotted at the Boxing Day Hunt, sporting a pair of yellow trousers, but not everyone was pleased to see him. https://twitter.com/aak1880/status/813356848925605888 Small mercies, eh?
