RURAL VOTES 'UP FOR GRABS'
200 parliamentary seats are rural. 30% in voting terms is a Government changing figure.
We need to know politicians’ rural position/manifesto in the run up to the next election, to get these critical matters addressed properly.
Northern Ireland December 2021
"We campaigned hard to help represent the views of Northern Ireland’s farming and hunting community. Today’s politicians rejected prejudice and voted on the basis of sound wildlife management practice, cultural heritage and the preservation of the rural way of life."
REPLACE BAD LAW, REGAIN RURAL VOTES
“The 2004 Hunting Act is bad law. The Prime Minister who implemented it is on record to say he wishes that he hadn’t. MPs who voted for it have admitted it was ‘revenge for the miners’. The Parliamentary Counsel who drafted it sees it as unfinished business and the data shows it has been disastrous for animal welfare. It’s bad law, let’s replace it.” Rob Williams MFH
Daniel Greenberg - Parliamentary Counsel who drafted the Hunting Act 2004
“Instead of an effective measure, therefore, the Act and Bills for it were largely an exercise in what it has now become fashionable to describe as “virtue signalling”...... "A moral judgement is being imposed on a minority - and I thought we didn't do that?"
The opinion of the Veterinary Association for Wildlife Management, supported by some 560 members of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons says “Hunting by hounds is the natural and most humane method of controlling the population of all four quarry species, fox, deer, hare and mink, in the countryside."

Episode 743: Ed Swales of the Hunting Kind on Why Hunters Qualify as A Protected Minority Group & What the Heck is a Lurcher?
Few things are steeped in as much pageantry and tradition as a proper English fox hunt.
However, England banned fox hunting with hounds in the early 2000s. Further infringement on hunting rights in the U.K. followed suit. Finally, English sportsmen and houndsmen have formed a united front to try and take back their way of life. Hunting Kind founder and chairman Ed Swales joins the show this week to discuss his organization’s goal of making Hunters a protected minority group in England, thus preventing any attack on hunting rights and the dogs used to pursue game.
Episode Highlights Include:
- Tradition of English hound hunting
- Where does Tweed come from?
- William Wallace the historical character
- What is a lurcher?
- What kind of hounds does Ed have?
- What is a typical fox hunt like?
- The Game Keepers
- Where did all the fox go?
- Disney’s role in all this
- 3rd Party legal counsel determined that hunters are indeed a protected minority group under the British Civil Rights Act
- How can Ed use that revelation to protect the hunting lifestyle going forward?
- The legend of how a pack of British fox hounds were responsible for the United States entering WW2
- How much is a good fox hound worth?
- Do the hounds or the hunter dispatch the fox?
- Apathy is no excuse
- Upland hunting in Northern England

Episode Summary
The Hunting Kind has a clear strategy, strong team and great leadership. Ed Swales is a retired soldier and international security advisor. He is also a life long hunter and houndsman. After being away from his roots during his service he returned to life without hunting in his homeland of the United Kingdom. Jolly Old England had traded centuries of tradition, culture and lifestyle for a liberal progressive scheme that gutted the hunting traditions that had protected wildlife and the agricultural community.
Ed Swales - Taking back the Countryside
Mister Kindness
Episode 96. Joining us from the north of England is campaigner and lobbyist for the rights of folks living in the countryside, Ed Swales. Ok, it's rant time. In light of the massive Europe-wide protests by farmers (which I'm fully behind), I wanted to get Ed to come on and give a better insight on it. I can't get my head round why governments have gone to war against farmers. Do they expect us to eat bugs or something? In the process we discuss hunting, corrupt politicians and the menace of house cats. Dynamite chat with good guy Ed. Enjoy...
