Good for them

MikeH on Fri February 18, 2005 9:54 AM User is offline

The following appeared under the heading "Mission Impossible?" at FOXNews.com.
It's a wonder that reactions like this don't happen more often.

Thirty-five Greenpeace (search) protesters got more than they may have bargained for when they stormed the International Petroleum Exchange in London on Wednesday. According to "The Times" of London, they slipped into a closing door and then roared onto the trading floor, blowing whistles and sounding foghorns.

They were hoping to paralyze oil trading at the exchange. But the traders, most of them under 25 years old, rushed the protesters, pushing filing cabinets on top of them and kicking and punching them until they retreated. Twenty-seven protesters were arrested. Two were hospitalized, one with a broken jaw and the other with a concussion. One protester says, "I have never seen anyone less amenable to listening our point of view."

I'm glad they got their butts kicked.

Freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose

I expect to see plenty of fox hunt protesters tomorrow at my local hunt, as it's the first meeting since our great government banned hunting with dogs.

They come along shouting and whistling, poke the horses with sticks and get them all spooked, trespass on private property, damage private property, and stick their video cameras in supporters faces threatening to find out where you live. When they end up getting trampled or by a horse, have their camera thrown in a ditch, or thumped for being a pain in the arse, they go screaming to the authorities.

Boy did we laugh last week when they got their cars stuck in the mud, whilst we engaged four wheel drive and disappeared over the horizon. Amazingly they even left them to collect later, sadly by then they'd all mysterously slipped into the nearest ditch.

Never hunted Fox with hounds, but love racoon hunting at night with hounds...I guess at night you're not seen as you would be during the day...

I am neither for nor against hunting with hounds, but I would have thought that those hunt saboteurs would have had something better to do with their lives, I wonder just how they manage to get the time off from work or college to follow these hunts?

As UK Tech knows this issue is not over fox welfare, but over "Townies" perceived view of apparently rich country dwellers, most of which is total garbage, all stirred up by our glorious leader
