The year is 2010 and it’s general election time. Thirteen years of Labour rule has seen them bankrupt Britain and blame everyone else for their mistakes. They devise a cunning game plan they hope will spin them out of blame at a general election by promoting fox-hunting as a major issue at the very start of their election campaign.

It fails in spectacular fashion, David Cameron the Conservative leader laughs in the face of Labour and calls fox-hunting out as irrelevant and the Labour Leader Gordon Brown sheepishly agrees. Cameron wins the election.
Roll on 2015 and we arrive at another general election. Labour are back with just more let’s bankrupt Britain ideas and micro-cult ‘for the few not the many’ policies so yet again how we kill our foxes is promoted at the start of the campaign, only to meet the same fate as 2010. David Cameron wins with an increased majority and immediately emails his delight to Vote-OK the group of field-sports enthusiasts and fox hunter’s set up to help the Conservatives win the election by distributing leaflets. They were one of the first groups to be thanked for helping Cameron win:
The Prime Minister sent this text to Vote-OK early this morning “Please thank Vote-OK for all their amazing work”.
Conservative MPs also lined up to thank them, here is Bob Blackman Harrow East:
“Many thanks to the Kimblewick Hunt for all your help and support over the longest election campaign in history! I am delighted to have been returned to serve the people of Harrow East for a second term.”
Two years later we are back again in 2017 for another election, this time Theresa May is at the helm of the Conservatives but she is in for a nasty shock. Labour have perfected their vote rigging fraud and social media skills and finally they can push fox-hunting as an election issue to mask their bonkers bank-busting policies. They start by filling folk’s social media timelines with cute baby foxes, huntsmen and the words ‘barbaric’. A few days later they follow up with an opinion poll with multiple choice answers, of course fox-hunting is fresh in the mind and gets picked. It’s what’s known as a push-pull poll, the target, or mug, is led to the answer the pollster wants to obtain for his funders. Many clever Tories fell hook, line and sinker for this well documented and publicised ploy.
We now arrive to present day and the 2019 general election, social media has clamped down on political campaigning and extra vigilance is placed on election fraud so one could expect repeal of the hunting ban back on the table as a Tory Pledge? Well, No.
So rural folk have every cause to feel bitter?
They pounded the pavement on rain sodden days canvassing for the Conservatives through Vote-OK delivering their leaflets and helping them win elections. They have just witnessed a dilution of the pledge from repeal of the hunting act in 2010 to one of no change in 2019. Remember Vote-OK helped secure Conservative wins and increased the size of the rural vote for Theresa May?
What about the Conservatives pulling the same old dirty tricks as Labour – A week before their manifesto was announced they put out a press story saying they were inquiring into strengthening the ban then PHEW we are all supposed to feel huge relief when we are informed nothing will change. Let me explain – We are used to unravelling the more elaborate cheats from the animal rights brigade, using the same old ploy as Thatcher used in the nineties, Really Conservatives?

Stupidly, the Conservatives highlighted a far more sinister concern for farmers and the badger cull support group. The story involved Dominic Dyer, leader of an anti-Badger cull group and Zac Goldsmith of Defra, this suggests they are doing one another favours. Was it pay back for aborting the Derbyshire cull?
These two reasons are sufficient enough for the rural vote to feel bitter towards Boris but are nowhere in comparison to what has happened since 2010 – Criminals, liars, cheats and fraudsters from the left have acted as parasites and are sucking the blood out of normal rural folk trying to go about their daily lives.
Taken from the book “Environment and animal rights extremism, terrorism and national security”
‘Not all authors who write about radical animal rights and environment groups are willing to use the term ‘terrorists’ to describe their actions. Gus Martin (Martin 2003a), for example, qualifies the activities as ‘leftist single-issue extremism’
They harass, bully, intimidate, provoke trouble and cause misery amongst the Tory rural heartlands with their bogus charities and money-making schemes. This is the left being enterprising, whole businesses built on vitriol, lies and smearing that’s how they roll. Promote racism in the workplace then start a company advising against racism in the workplace. Make out folk illegally hunt then start groups and bogus charities demanding money to police the illegal hunting, it’s all one big left wing scam.
It was reported in the Daily Mirror Boris Johnson had suggested that rules created by the Government’s Commission for Countering Extremism could be potentially applied against anti-hunting activists. The commission report found animal rights extremism in the top five of witnessed extremism.
And yet where is Boris in the Manifesto with a pledge to ban this left wing hate machine terrorising his own foot-soldiers? If you can’t protect them, what hope for the country?
