people need to see a difference in policies between the main parties.
there is no clearly defined differences that would encourage people to walk for yards(sorry metres) to their polling station.

20:1815966did you know that hares are undergoing a boom in their population.
it appears that wildlife friendly farmers are leaving some longer grass at the side of their fields, thus encouraging more animals to find protection.
it is a real education on here sometimes.

07:5815983My favourite sport is Labour baiting.....
I used to go hare coursing as a child, not organised tournaments but out on farmers fields with my father's greyhounds keeping down the pests. Hunting is natural for the hounds as is being their prey for the hare. A healthy hare incidentally has all the advantages of agility. Coursing is a good way of culling the hares as it usually was the old and sick hares that get caught, it helped the species. Cruel, no.

19:3316022I personally dont see badgers, hares, foxes or stags as pests. If culls are necessary then I think that sport should not enter into it, nor the encouragement of under 18s to take part.

20:4416029I ran over a hare early one morning driving through a village going fishing. I stopped to pick it up and this old woman came out of a cottage and sprayed something up its nose and it ran off as fast as it could run.
