AFTER the recent incursion into the House of Commons by five T-shirted hunt protesters, it was inevitable that Peter Hain would appear in the media suitably indignant.

Those of a certain age will remember Mr Hain in his youth, running around in his T-shirt digging up pitches at various sporting venues protesting about this, that and t'other.

This is a classic case of poacher turned gamekeeper - or, as we say in Lancashire, the pot calling the kettle black.
