Point blank

Normally I would agree with you. However, the fact The USA and UK are in Iraq makes me a little unstable in my view. Hopefully, I can think more clearly further on -g- Our history has so many screw ups it's hard to believe. Iraq is a clear case of where we do not know what to do next.... and I don't know either. -ng-

Foxhunt ban set to go ahead

[what a f**ked up country I live in. More foxes get killed on the roads from collisions with cars then anything else, hardly a nice death I expect. The people who live here are such stupid bastards -ng-]

Foxhunting looks set to be banned despite the House of Lords again rejecting the move.

The House of Lords voted by more than two to one against an outright ban on hunting with dogs in England and Wales.

But the Parliament Act is now about to be used - for just the fourth time since 1949 - to force through the will of the Commons because the Lords has now blocked it for two Parliamentary sessions in a row.

The Government later suggested a compromise date for when the hunting ban would come into effect.

The Bill would bring in a ban in February. The Government, in a separate motion - which cannot be Parliament Acted - suggested introducing the ban in July 2006 after the last possible date of the next election.

The Lords rejected that and voted for a ban not before December 2007.

The Government tabled a compromise amendment, suggesting the ban would come into force in July 2006.

One Whitehall source said: "This is seen as a compromise between the Government's original position and the Lords."

The amendment will be voted on by MPs, with Government constitutional experts pondering over whether it then needs the approval of the Lords to take effect.
