MR Winward tried his best to detract BEN readers away from the Tories' support for fox hunting, but I'm afraid it won't wash.

At last we have a Government with the strength to end this barbaric sport, and that is what sticks in Mr Winward's throat so much. Fox hunting is barbaric and the Tories should be ashamed that as we approach the 21st century, they still feel it is okay to kill animals for fun.

I for one will not shed a tear for those Tories like Mr Winward who are squealing because this Government intends to ban fox hunting.
