David Lammy?s Vision is So Awful It Gives Me Hope That Something Has Got to Give Sat Jan 18, 2025 11:00 | Dr David McGrogan
Foreign Secretary David Lammy set out "the future of the U.K.'s foreign policy" this week. It's an abysmal vision, says Dr. David McGrogan, but it gives hope that the edifice of 'progressive realism' will soon collapse.

the destructive wild animals who kill the domestic fowl and the wild pheasant clutches.
Aye' Ye all want free range organic eggs in yer shops I suppose?
An yet Ye don't want us folks to go about culling the Fox population and Ye are also of the same ilk that lets free the Mink to roam and kill the wildlife.
You townies need to keep indoors and let us Culchies alone to do what we knows best. Cos we for generations have been tending to our ancient historic ways, by keeping the balance of nature just so.
Would you ever cop on? There was no hunting before the British gentry imported the practice, and saddos like you think it makes you special to ride around in a red coat, even though even the English have now stopped this cruel and pointless practice.
If yous was as well up in foxing as us culchies.
Then you'd know that when we go after Mr & Mrs Fox, we go out at night and on foot - what in hell would we want a girt lumbering horse for & a pack of hounds?
Mr Ren any culchie - countryman worth his salt whether Irish or English, who is intent on reducing the Fox population does the same. Like t'other chap says we have been doing this for thousands of years. Only today we have a twelve bore shotgun as opposed to a bow and arrow, plus a whistle and a torch.
well said paddy i hunt foxes twice a week and i consider em vermin .I dont hunt with horses or rifle just me my terriers and my lurchers.Most people will never see the devastation a single fox can do to a full chicken pen .They kill all inside any only eat maybe one .Now this can cause serious cash problems ofr small farms .
ignorance perhaps......
of the life cycle of the fox
or complete idiocy as they have no interest in exploring the same.....
ignorance i can excuse
I am ignorant of many things
HOWEVER
I am a county girl
from co. laoise
And I take particular offense at the implication made here that I am an illiterate, blood thirsty thug.
How DARE you say that country people are pro blood spillimg for fun? It is NOT true.
I just wish to point out that nether myself nor scent farrell have ever intimated that Foxing is fun - it is an efficient and necessary means of controlling the number foxes that kill our domestic fowls; no more than that.
The fact that you live in Co. Laoise or Dublin 4 makes no odds to us. Because both Foxes and the wild Mink do considerable damage to hen houses and the latter. The Mink has been known to kill Cats too as well as other small animals, for other than man it has no predator in this country.
Perhaps instead of falsely condemning us you might find away of ridding the countryside of the Mink ?
The old Gaelic song portrays the fox as a sly cute hoor ready to snatch 'a fine fat goose' from the struggling farmer; so good luck to the hunters who keep the numbers of this predator down.
An maidrin rua,rua,rua,rua rua
An maidrin rua ta granna
An maidrin rua ina lui sa luachair
Agus barra a dha chluais in airde
So the Brits introduced hunting, did they? Ha ha, Cu Culainn and the red branch knights got their sport in long before that when they foraged through the virgin forests in search of game like wild boar and deer. The wild rabbits and hares were fair game too. Once sheep and cattle were domesticated and penned in at night the foxes and boars were marked down as enemies just as much as sporting trophies
Nowadays more jaywalking, myopic badgers are run down late at night by motorists than the number of foxes killed by horse riding hunters.
Imagine the devestation here this morning to find 17 of our mixed breed house of hens killed by the miserable mink who kills for the fun of it.He /she just took one and left the others .Shut up all you do gooders.The Fox and the Mink have to be controlled.I dont care whether the guy is wearing a coat of multicolours or nothing at all.I would gladly buy him any coloured coat he wanted if he gets rid of the mink.
