You would be hard pushed to find a door in Hull that wasn't merely shut but locked 7 days a week and 24/7.

Widdecombe was making a fool of herself blaming the EU for making the mesh in Fishermen's nets bigger "reducing their income" she claims, even though the UK agreed to conserve wish stocks.
And who in the fishing industry is behind the BXP?
Poor struggling lone fishermen?
No, big money from another Elite
The Millionaires hoarding 25% of Britains Fishing rights

So if you are aware of the news story. Like you said you did.
Why would you say 'weren't they aware foxes hunt' ?
I'm sure they were aware. But this incident happened in daylight. Oops. Can't wait to see you make this wrong a right. Any fool knows foxes are nocturnal. Oh dear.
I see your mate has chipped in too. So every house is locked in Hull 24/7 and he has taken extra precautions to boot.
Foxes aren't a problem though.
Oh dear. The twisted tales we weave.
Goldfish barrel hunting. I don't have to even load the gun.
The BXP are bad losers over Peterborough, but guess what?
Police end fourth investigation in Peterborough by electiion
Officers have previously declared that no offences were committed in relation to one allegation of bribery and two relating to postal votes, and now a fourth allegation - the burning of ballots - has also led to the same conclusion.
This leaves just one outstanding allegation - a breach of the privacy of the vote.
More wasted police time

Naturally we all close doors and lock them, it's the only sensible thing to do, but then you don't do sensible, do you?
By the way you need hunt no longer you can get "Goldfish Barrels" on Ebay!
Or do you Hunt Goldfish in a barrel ?
Wet suit or naked as nature intended?
Very droll

You really are incredibly ignorant of this subject, didn't I just post twice that I see foxes day and night coming though my estate? Didn't I just post a photo of that fox in daylight? The one that entered my lounge was in broad daylight. Below I've posted another photo of one eating the bird it had hunted and killed in front of me in daylight.
I've also watched them in my next door reserve hunting and killing pigeons and rabbits and I don't have night vision. Foxes are opportunists which hunt at any and all times whenever hungry.
And here's a closeup of another out hunting in daylight:

Postal voting is being abused leading to electoral fraud. It is possible to profile a section of society who have a propensity for this kind of thing.
The police are probably scared to investigate properly in case they discover something and find themselves cornered into taking action.
The way to stop this is to require people who want to vote to turn up at the polling station with ID, unless they have a very good reason not to.
I can't see much to argue with in this excellent piece by Polly Toynbee.

I have absolutely no experience of foxes in London..They would need to be as plentiful as cats ,for me to have sight of one in my very infrequent visits there. I have however seen them in my area of Co.Louth , which is a coastal village , adjacent to a town, and a major recognised wintering resource for migrating birds ..eg the Brent Goose.
My point ,which ,I am not minded to persue is that it is hardly a" huge " problem . They may in fact help reduce the rat population, which does lead to serious health concerns.
We were not discussing your foxes.
We were discussing the incident where you blamed the parents for leaving their back door open. When they were in the house and their baby was upstairs. In the day.
You were wrong to blame them and I think you owe them an apology and should donate some money to a children’s hospital.
Foxes are a nocturnal animal. I suggest you should not encourage your ones out in daylight. I suspect your bins are overflowing and they are being driven crazy by the smell.
Not sure about that OG. Our front door is always closed and locked, but back garden is secure, so back door is often left open... Think we are fairly typical. What happened to that family could happen to many infact probably most at some time or another. Yappy dog would solve it, but could bite infant..????
Our back door is wide open as we speak.. Do you still put black out curtains up too?
It’s Asians. Bengali’s in Tower Hamlets and Pakistanis in other places.
They vote on bloc for their relatives. They sell the votes.
I dare say other people do it too but these ones are more organised.
You really do post out of inadequate knowledge. Foxes only restrict themselve to nocturnal hunting when well fed enough to sleep through the day. When that isn't the case they hunt at all times until satiated. On Tuesday morning as I drove through the estate one ran across the road just in front of me from housing into a small patch of woodland.
And I do not encourage them, they are just here as I've shown. My modern estate has entirely enclosed bin cupboards and bin rooms with lidded wheely bins within, so nothing for foxes there.
However, we are surrounded on three sides by country and the wildlife is always coming through, giving the foxes reasons to cross it and hunting opportunities within the estate like that bird I showed caught and eaten.
To the north in Central Croydon and North Croydon we have plenty of foxes that are more purely urban and I've often seen them in broad daylight. I once even saw one crossing the traffic dense Purley Way over one of the busiest junctions, fearlessly ignoring all the traffic around it.
.
What has that got to do with what you were saying?
We were not talking about your foxes. And you’re are hardly urban anyway.
You were wrong. Consider your pomposity pricked.
Next.
It has to do with the irrelevancies that you and Zlatan needlessly introduce.
Remember, I merely posted the the French hunting to eat was more sensible than our hunting that we couldn't eat, that's all.
If you or Zlatan wanted to disagree with that, fine, I'm ok with a different opinion.
But Zlatan them conflated the subject twice into all manner of other areas, with you chipping in to support him. Little wonder you both get accused of only coming into the forum to cause arguments.
.
No we do not.
And less of the conflating. Its disgusting.
And the French do not hunt to eat any more than we do, apart from fact they will eat anything, but I, ve never seen them hunting frogs and snails.
Its a barmy thing to say flecc. The french perhaps hunt 0.0001% of the food they eat. They are not Inuit Indians are they.
They hunt for fun just like the toffs in red fancy dresses.
You dont hear Pierre saying "come on Francois lets go hunt a cow I fancy Steak Tartare" or "lets go shoot a duck, I, ve got some oranges".
Boar hunters are a set of middle class French blokes with feck off big guns, too many nasty dogs and scruffy old 4x4's with a dead pig in back and its head stuck on front. You, ve seen Deliverence, you, ve seen Boar hunters.
They take actions to put folk off going anywhere near their "shoots", will drive other vehicles off paths and have been known to fire warning shots and dish out threats to anybody encroaching on their "shoots". But you will know all this being such a francophile.
We were in the Alberes, its foothills to Pyrenees. Stunning with fire tracks all over many leading upto top of Pico Neulous, where there is one of nicest restaurants in France, overlooking Med to east, France to North and Spain to South. The whole place shuts down Saturdays and Wednesdays. People dare not use tracks or even sit in Restsurant, so the Deliverence extras can shoot pigs.
And BTW the restaurant has to buy Sanglier meat from Spain. The pigs the locals shoot for fun are not compliant with EU legislation.

Let’s get it right snowflecc.
You said the French only Hunt to eat and eat everything they kill.
Completely wrong. But Zlatan doesn’t need me fighting his corner.
You are just wrong. It’s like Gerald. If I can be arsed I can prove you wrong. Tbf it does take longer with you and is more boring. But it’s easily done.
You can’t cry foul and accuse someone of merely coming on to argue when what you say is incorrect.
Just admit it move on and we can carry on.
No I did not, here is the link and it wasn't even in reply to Zlatan or yourself. I could have added the word can before eat to make it even more clear, but at no time have I said the French eat everything they hunt.
My meaning was very clear, the French hunt what they can eat, not what they cannot eat.
I even clarified that with the French opposition to our fox hunting there.

I don't think farmers are very fond of foxes and view them as vermin. I used to get my free range eggs at a local farm ( £1.80 ) dozen. Then one day when I went there were no eggs. Afox had got in and killed every hen. Obviously didn't kill to eat, but that's natural behaviour for foxes. I think most farmers would shoot them on sight
