Pity the schoolchildren returning to their prison camps this September, says Joanna Gray. Most will now be entering premises entirely surrounded with high security fences ? another sign our high trust society is gone.

Was it Really the Hottest Summer on Record? Thu Sep 04, 2025 07:00 | Paul Homewood
It was the hottest summer on record, claims the Met Office. Really? Not according to our most reliable data, says Paul Homewood. 2018 and 1976 were warmer, and only two days topped 30?C, compared with nine in 1976.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8why are ye now looking to ban foxhunting in ireland? why not first end the torture that millions of farm animals endure in this country on a daily basis. foxes in ireland will live out most of their lives without ever seeing a hound. just because england does something does not mean that we must follow the leader as we always have done
I come from the countryside, I know people who go Fox Hunting with hounds, in 3 years of hunting they have never caught a Fox, they dont care, they say its just an excuse to meet and give their horses a runout and their dogs, and then have a few beers afterwards, But even with that, There is actually a Fox epidemic in rural areas, its so bad at the moment that no one in my area is able to keep wild foul, anyone who has chickens or ducks has had them wiped out by the foxes, they even tried a fox cull but there are still too many, I think maybe the mild winters are not helping, but certainly fox hunting with hounds wouldnt make much difference, as everyone knows the young and the fit foxes never get seen, its the old dying ones that get caught out in the open by the hounds, If the hunts in the UK did used to be more successful in catching foxes than ours over here, well then they have just increased their fox population by banning hunting and they shall see an explosuion in numbers, if not well they just need to buy more shotguns like the farmers in Ireland have to in order to be able to keep small animals and birds on their property without them be killed during the night by every increasing number of foxes.
Hunt with hounds, the alternative is the re-introduction of snares, poison and shotguns.
Yes rooster because these methods of control were stopped. Yes rooster of course they were!
But if they are the only alternatives left then people will have no other choice, face it, this is not a class issue but a simple case of common sense.
The only reason why it was banned was so Blair and his leadership could apologise to Labour voters over Iraq.
The Labour Government commissioned the Burns Report, which failed to find any justification to ban hunting.
Over the last few years, many high profile people who used to be anti-hunting, now actually argue passionately that hunting should continue because of the vital role it plays in wildlife management and the countryside.
Also worth considering, is that organisations which have been campaigning for a ban on hunting for decades, are the same people who want to ban fishing, shooting and horse racing.
In actual fact, if they were to get their way, fly spray, mouse traps, chicken houses and the vast majority of farming practices would be a thing of the past, with much more on the target list to follow.
I think the ban shouldnt happen i goo fox hunting i think its great bollocks to blair
I like foxhunting, and im never going to stop going . Bollocks to Blair!!!!
