"Well, here we go again. Tally ho! Tony is having another go at banning hunting. He says that the only reason he hasn't banned it already is that he had run out of parliamentary time. I thought that it had been something to do with the 300,000-strong countryside march in London last March and the conversion of nice Mr Meacher to our cause. They might have been a model of citizenly behaviour, but every man Jack (and girl Jill, natch) of the marchers would love to have thrown Tony and his bunch of cap-touching jobsworths, small-time toad-impersonators and all-round professional berks into the Thames. Now we shall have to go back and do it all over again."
