  • It started with a court order, but ended with an out-of-court deal.
    (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
    For years, the Warwickshire Hunt had been the subject of repeated complaints about antisocial behaviour.
    But when they appealed police attempts to control them and their hounds, the court case was dropped and instead a secret protocol was agreed between the hunt and the force.
    Warning: This report contains images right from the start that some may find distressing.

    If the penalty for breaking a law is a fine, that law only applies to the poor.

      I want to see them pay the fine in the first place. Iit’s more like if your poor, law applies, if you’re a bigoted aristocrat, the law is but an obstacle. Overall, just a disgusting scenario, and highlights the lack of credibility the police have in this country today, and lack of accountability. Yes you will always have rich people and corruption. But if a senior knows they will be held accountable, they will refuse any attempts of corruption made. However, when they know they can dodge interviews, and send a powerless senior to speak for the police instead. Why would they care? The hierarchy is purposely complicated and stitched together. Police attitude, is always, “we don’t do wrong”, and policing values are completely lost. Most of which, is the value of truly serving the public. Which has been diluted in meaning. Put this all together, and you get a police force that is incompetently complicit, unable to take accountability, negative work culture of “we are always right”, lack of policing results, disappointed communities, and worst of all. A reactive instead of proactive force, just in the last 6 months, how many times have you heard “*insert force* police launch an inquiry *insert incident*.”
      And they always act as if said incident is a one off incident in a “very professional” force. Anyway, as a tax payer, it’s frustrating and disappointing. Not only is the police ineffective, but also useless, public safety is at an all time low, crime is always rising. They will not respond to most cases, and the ones they do they will never investigate.
      The whole structure is broken, politics is hugely at play, not to blame one party more than the other. However, every time a crime hits new all time highs, pm announces to tackle it, for example, burglary, forcing police to always respond. Or when an incident or scandal happens, we get more reactive responses, that only plaster over the structural issues with short term fixes. Somewhat similar to the NHS…
      So fox hunts or not, we will continue to get stories like this, as long as the hierarchy structure is complex, policing is reactive, and police culture remains as is, with a toxic us v them attitude, towards the public, and lack of accountability or humility. Non of this will be fixed over night, or even in 5 years. Let alone when you’re trying to fix all these issues, by ramming as many people as possible into the force, to combat “crime” without realistic training, in truly working for and serving the public.
      Anyway… just another reason 99% want to leave.

      Another case of proof that this country is *not* a democracy where all are equal under the law, rather a Plutocracy - country run by, and for the benefit of, the wealthy elite.
      Right from the royals down, wealthy people enjoy hunting and know they are above the law. Which is why police all over the country arrest saboteurs and take them away, so that the hunts can carry on with nobody to video their lawbreaking. Right to the law where there's no minimum sentence for animal cruelty. It won't do to have some posh person hauled into court and put in prison for a year, therefore all animal abusers get no meaningful punishment bar a fine, a bit of 'community service', which they can't be forced to attend and a ban for a few years, which isn't monitored or enforced.
      Trail hunting is a sham. It's a blatant sham too because who is daft enough to believe that a trail gets laid through cemeteries, across busy railway lines, through animal sanctuaries, through private gardens, school playgrounds and busy roads (loads of videos showing this), killing people's pets, spreading bovine TB as they run through infected land and then through herds of cattle, through fields of pregnant ewes, and getting hounds killed on railway lines and roads, traumatising the unfortunate people who witness it.
      If they weren't protected by the police, lawyers, judges, politicians and the royals (who also protect paedophiles-google Bishop Peter Bell), then hunting will have died out.
      The Tories wanted to repeal the hunting law but were persuaded it'd lose them too many votes.

      Not just the fox. They crash through fences and drainage ditches leaving the landowners to pay for repairs and round up livestock and pets. Animals miscarry and die when stressed and harried by the hunt in their field, cruel and expensive again for the farmers who lose stock. Don't believe that country people are all out there cheering this on. There's either the type who were brought up in tied cottages tugging their forelocks and believing that their masters are better or the townies who move in and need an excuse to Christin their posh wellies standing on the road thinking their earning some sort of country credentials. Most country people hate the hunt and the people who take part with total contempt for everyone and everything but themselves..they don't even care for the horses.

    In south Cheshire and north Staffordshire there are 3 hunts, it's no secret that many of the leading members are also freemasons. I'm a retired police officer and also a freemason. Some years ago I attended a function at the provincial grand lodge in Crewe. After the festive board I was talking to some fellow masons who also happened to be senior police officers when we were approached by the master of one of these hunts. He looked at me enquiringly and was assured I was to be trusted as I was a police officer.

    5:50 “Why do they (the public) need to know?” Because the hunt is operating exactly like an organised crime organisation; deliberately planning and enacting illegal activities, and putting members of the public and their pets at risk. The utter disdain and privileged entitlement is disgusting.

      Yeah, the audacity to think that the public is not entitled to know about a "deal" with publicly funded government institution is bananas. This isn't some deal between two private citizens.
      I'm reminded of some of Tony Benn's 5 questions for democracy/ people in power:
      What power have you got?
      Where did you get it from?
      In whose interests do you exercise it?
      To whom are you accountable?
      How can we get rid of you?
      Vis a vis the police, for the middle three, the answer is the public! That's why this "deal" should never have been hidden from them.

      PETA is probably busy euthanizing any and all domesticated animals (all pets are against nature.)
      If you want to help animals, get involved with a local shelter.
      In America, places like the ASPCA actually wants to help animals instead of destroy them based off radical beliefs.
      Just please trust me, PETA is not good for animals or humans. There are many other organizations to support.

    My mother nearly got killed by them. They were chasing a deer through her woodland and began shooting at it. My mother and dog had to hide because the shot was landing all around them. Police informed, nothing done.
    This happened in Ilfracombe, north devon.

      I absolutely believe you. I used to work for a couple who were part of the deer hunt down that way. Disgusting people in every way.

      Sorry but i dont believe you, no one hunts deer with hounds and rifles at the same time unless the dogs were herding it towards stationary shooters, deer flushing isnt done with loose dogs and as long as they had permission on the land its a hunting tactic used all over the world. We have an over population of deer and its obliterating ecosystems, the only predator to control their numbers is humans.

      What do you think foxes eat? They eat other wildlife, or lambs or rabbits or chickens or cats or small dogs.

    In the area where I live the local hunt is one of the most flagrant law-breakers among the fox-hunting 'community', and aided and abetted by no less than Jacob Rees-Mogg.
    The terriermen do the dirty work for the nobs on the horses and beat up a local farmer who has consistently refused to allow the hunt to go on his land.
