Journalist is right on hunts
LIZ Jones is spot on and she is a brave lady. The culture in and around this area leaves a lot to be desired.
Haven't we all been held up by the hunts and their follower blocking the roads and lanes? Calling the police is a waste of time — the hunts are a law unto themselves and let us down badly.
No wonder outsiders have this terrible view of us.

“Maybe we could fill up both Exmoor and Dartmoor with the illegal immigrants, that would free up plenty of housing , and we needn't pay them benefits either , as they'll be able to catch their own food, including deer and the hounds!, have their own sanitation {rivers/streams}, and be free to do their own thing .. ever seen what Sangatte looks like ?”

“Exmoor is one of the biggest hunting centres. It always has been and that is why it is shaped the way it is. That is why the Red Deer population is so health because they are managed by the Staghounds. So many farmers live and hunt on exmoor. Its a shame when other "locals" attack their way of life!”
