As I understand it the Government Bill to ban it has been passed and now
looks odds on to become law.  The House of Lords look set to delay it by
proposing ammendments.

Hunt supporters seem resigned to the fact that it is only a matter of
time
before it is banned and are signing up en masse to publicly declare
their
intention to ignore the law when it becomes final.

Many hunts will be be prefaced by speeches containing some or all of the
following: I fought in world war two, city folk don't understand country
matters, the fox enjoys it don't you know.

Gangs of protesters, many with brightly coloured Mohican haircuts and
camouflage clothing (go figure), will be involved in violent clashes
with
hunt participants. Protesters spraying aerosols to desensitise the
hounds
sense of smell. Hunt supporters beating the crap out of hunt saboteurs
if
they can get them off camera. All this drama acted out against a
backdrop of
thatched cottages and leafy lanes. Book early to avoid disappointment.

And they say us Brits have no sense of fun :-)
