fox hunting ban failed

I am not talking about that it will not stop animal cruelty, and will probably not even stop fox hunting. I'm talking about the real reason that the bill to ban fox hunting was rushed through parliment. It was rushed through just before the Labour conference as an obvious way of trying to fob off the Labour party members with a little "toff bashing" (As as Tony's Islington focus groups where consered all fox hunters were by definition upper class), in order not to upset the message coming from the last party conference before the election. Looks like he underestimated both their inteligence and integrity as Iraq has been voted onto the agenda.
