Young people should be taught to shoot and fish, says countryside chief

“Hilariously, Sir Barney White Spunner is his shortened name, his full title being "Sir Barnabas William Benjamin White-Spunner".

So, let's all, as opponents of the Countryside Alliance's thoroughly unpleasant views on killing defenceless animals for fun, thank and raise a glass of port to Sir Barnabas and declare "keep up the good work, Sir Barnabas, old chap, keep up the good work".”

“Sir Barney White-Spunner??? Well, the name says it all really, doesn't it? Great idea Barmy, arming the country's feral youth to the teeth, and exponentially increasing the number of firearms in our society. What next? Perhaps dealing with the traffic problems by fitting cars with missile launchers so we can blast those other pesky road-users out of the way?

The LACS must be pi**ing themselves laughing every time this clown opens his mouth.”

“I discussed this with my boss at work today. He's American, I'm British, we both grew up being taught how to hunt, respecting the land we were hunting on with the owners permission,discipline in handling weapons, both of us came from poor families and we therefore were able to put our share on the table, outside enjoying the beautiful scenery and living a healthy lifestyle. He's a merchant Navy Captain, I'm a merchant navy Chief Engineer! Where did we go wrong in our lives?”

“As one of the vast majority of right-thinking individuals who abhor the idea of killing for fun or "sport", may I congratulate the Countryside Alliance on its appointment of Sir Barney White-Spunner as Executive Chairman. His beautifully outdated and totally out-of-touch views, together with his air of toffish buffoonery, perfectly reflects the workings of the CA, and allows the opposition of its policies to be heard far louder and much stronger.

Indeed, it would appear that he...er...shoots himself in the foot every time he opens his mouth.”

“I like animals, but I'm not so naive that I don't know where my steak came from!

Killing for the sake of killing is a bit pointless, don't agree with that. But killing to eat is a different ball game. I would quite enjoy to go out and hunt, kill, prepare, cook and eat an animal - and I think anyone who enjoys meat should be prepared to do the same thing.

For me it's not about killing, its about eating and learning to be self sufficient. So hunting, fishing, growing your own veg etc... all good things to know.”

“I hear the jailed psycho Marquis de Sade used to pay his jailer to smuggle small rodents and birds into his cell so that he could have fun torturing and killing them, what sick specimens of humanity his sort are.”

“Its surprising how the longing to kill for killing sake still exists. The extinction rate of wild animals and especially birds started with those with nothing better to do than hunt for the rarest birds, have them stuffed and sold off to make money It ges along with those that thought killing wild african animals was good fun. Once again for the profitable iviry tusks of Elephants. Have you all forgotten the wild West Buffalo with thousands shot not for food but just for the damn cussedness of it all. All we see now of the rarities are held in zoos, caged and lost to the wild. The human race needs has a lot to answer for with its destruction of anything good on the planet
including forests and the countryside still using pesticides that have destroyed the habitats of wildlife to such an extent that soon zoos and those terrible circuse's will be all that is known of such wildlife. Nothing changes from education.”

“Our heavy industry was in trouble when Maggie came to power. Over unionised (and over political unions), bad nationalised industry management and over paid lazy British workers. The English working class have for the last 15 years (until the last election) put their faith in middle class public school London liberals. They were let down by their own party who were more interested in third world poverty and the plight of foreign workers, in their own 'one world socialist world view'. When hundreds of thousands of Polish workers came here and all found a job, the liberal socialists were still saying 'there are no jobs out there, the english working class want to work'. Benefit Britain hasn't really benefitted anyone, except foreign workers WHO REALLY DO WANT TO WORK.”

“The Countryside Alliance, supporting killing as a hobby since 1997.”

“It would also be beneficial for these youngsters to have meaningful jobs to look forward to after they finish school. Mc donalds is not much of an incentive . The adults have made this path voting for those who have sold off our industry to others leaving nothing for our own kids to achieve.
Then they have the gall to tell them to travel to it . This country has been and continues to be badly led. Any excuse against the lower classes is used against them even though the upper ones have made it so very hard . Except for themselves that is . The underclass which exists today is not an accident . It is sheer folly and stupidness by trusted people who have let their own people down in the last few decades ..... BIG TIME .
I will never forget the quote from a minister who was questioned about job losses in the south west . He said we have not lost jobs ... they have just been relocated to Poland . Just as much as a move from Plymouth to Bristol. The EU mentality has killed this country and our kids future . He is the kind of person I would put up against a wall and shot for treason.”
