    Default Police fear Burn's Night confrontations between hunters and environmentalists.

    Environmentalists demand UNESCO intervenes to end the Highland Hunt

    Argyllshire anti-hunt activists have written to UNESCO requesting international recognition of the Western haggis which, they claim, is being hunted to extinction by English lairds deprived of their horse and hounds spectacles south of the border by legislation favouring the hunt saboteurs. Although ' drag hunting ' is still permitted , wherein a dummy fox is scented and dragged to present a 'scent ' for the packs to follow , some hunt-masters have allowed a live fox to be captured and loosed for the hounds to kill at the culmination of the ' drag '. Prosecutions have followed and, in four cases, heavy fines. The master of the Cumberland Foxhounds was actually jailed for spitting at the sentencing judge.
    Such restrictions have caused the larger foxhound packs to switch to haggis-shoots on the vast private Scottish estates, beloved of English royalty and gentry, to which observers and saboteurs cannot easily gain access. In response they have formed a unified Scottish protest group which they hope will , firstly, persuade UNESCO to declare the Western haggis uniquely Scottish which will be followed by petitions to the World Wildlife Fund to have it declared an endangered species.


    "It's absolutely ludicrous. They've blocked our fox-hunting with their bleeding-heart sabs and now they want to deny us access to the Highland Hunt " Reginald Cartes-Botham .


    To date, the gaming lobby has been unable to find a suitable defence in law- but have allowed dogs to roam free on the animals breeding habitat. No intent has yet been proven to the satisfaction of the Highland Constabulary but local hunt saboteur , Rory McCloud , states that his group will continue to harrass and harry the huntsmen until they move on.




    McCloud- ' We'll stek it tae the bloated numpties ' til they're awa '

    Despite pleas for calm further confrontation is expected on traditional Burn's Night, which falls upon January 25th during 2022, accompanied by a full moon which favours both adversaries.

    Scottish hunt saboteurs join with Scottish Nationalists to promote independence.

    The growing furore over Scots entitlement to access huge swathes of their country owned by English lairds and other foreigners has resulted in a pact between environmentalists and the SNP , the Scottish Nationalist Party, headed by Nicola Sturgeon. At present, permission for a referendum on independence is being blocked by Boris Johnson, the UK prime minister who is being investigated for misleading parliament, holding drinking parties during lockdowns ordered by himself , granting diplomatic favours to an American businesswoman in exchange for sex and for allowing the persecution of non-Christian religious believers in his Conservative party.
    Various factions are now promoting the version of the Union Jack flag minus the Scottish component, known as the Saltire;



    With clashes expected between environmentalists and landowners over the Highland Hunt, on Burn's Night, January 25th , the prospect of Scottish independence has again become the main topic of dicussion among members of the SNP in the devolved Scottish parliament. Meanwhile , the English prime minister is awaiting the results of an enquiry into his own behaviour, ordered by him and carried out by one of his employees with himself as the final arbitor of its legitimacy. The results are expected some time this week.

    I’d probably have whipped the person too …

    But then I’m getting less and less tolerant of stupid people.

    You know what it's about.

    The link in your OP links to...your OP.

    That tells me you wrote it yourself, and made it up out of whole cloth, but you over-egged the custard, my pedigreed chum.
