Don?t get me wrong, I am a city boy. Born and bred in the suburbs of the greatest capital city in the world . My parents though, came from the country, the wilds of north east Scotland and the coast of north west Wales. As such they had a great appreciation for the countryside and made sure that I got as much exposure as possible in my youth.

These idiots are urbanites who are ignorant of what it is to pursue activities in anything approaching nature. They were brought up, hanging outside burger bars, or corner shops, intimidating those they perceived as potential victims. Now in the twenties and early thirties, they justify their thuggery in the fervour of some misguided beliefs. This has been further fuelled by ten years of a socialist government who have an urban agenda, a government who have banned hunting, despite the fact that all polls leading to the legislation indicated that the majority of people did not oppose hunting (actually they just did not care). They did this because they had an overwhelming parliamentary majority and voting members who preside over inner city constituents; who as youth protested against anything that it was fashionable to protest against. They were communist, left wing extremists, there are pictures of Charles Clarke the previous Home Secretary standing as a long haired bearded young man next to Castro, this was the man responsible for the Police, Education, Health, etc. Now late middle aged none of this fanaticism has dissipated; it is just well wrapped in a tailored suit and well coached political spin. This government have a programme for destroying rural life through building low cost housing in rural area, where more of their inner city voters can migrate to, playing with and changing the political map and removing the last outposts of centre right voters in the country. There are policies in place wrappered in the tinsel of social justice which says that the true victims of crime are the criminals, because somehow society has failed them. That those how have been assaulted, robbed and wronged are not really the victims, just a statistic, to be categorised in such a way as to keep the growth in crime figures a nice attractive gradient on the graph, rather than the dramatic wall they are.

So what will this assault on people quietly fishing achieve? Well these 30 or so people must have something legitimate to complain about, so perhaps we should stop and listen to these poor victims. We need to hear and understand their grievances and then do something to stop them from being victimised.
