Two stories match up in the news - introduction of tazers and security breaches in London. Non-lethal zapping of asshole activists seems the way forward. What were they trying to do? Show that hunting is a mass populist movement? Jokers.
Honestly though, why the fuck would you storm Parliament? What's your point exactly? It's a democratic institution having a democratic debate (in the shadow of a democratic protest) about what, really, should be a fringe issue. What does that make you? A freakin' eejit.
So while ultra-religious America winds itself up into a fervour about stem cell research as their political agenda, and genocide is committed in Sudan, while war still rages in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Palestinians are still suffering without relent, while Syria is still occupying Lebanon, and Pakistan, Iran, India and North Korea are messing around with nukes, and questions about abortion and euthanasia and cloning need to be addressed - while all this is going on, what does Britain get really, REALLY pissed off about?
Foxes.
Because they look so cute, eh? Aww. And have you looked in their eyes when they've been savaged by dogs? You see FEAR. And as the life flows out of him, you see a lack of understanding about how anybody could be so cruel. It must really hurt. Fucks sake. You're trying to empathise with a fox.
Except it's not about FOXES, it's about small-minded conservatism and the failure of their little cliquey lobby; and small-minded inverse snobbery because coal miners and chimney sweeps have never had the chance to go foxhunting. It's all about CLASS because isn't that where our insanely secular British society draws its morality from, eh? The further left you are the more morally correct; when you get as far right as our upper classes you encounter some seriously decadent behaviour; everybody in the middle pretending to lean one way or the other to diguise their ammorality because, in fact, they just don't care.
