Old aunty beeb

This morning on BBC radio five live (around 7:15am though I am not sure) a member of the League Against Cruel Sports was interviewed. Over a period of a few minutes he explained his position on fox hunting and, not just limiting it to hunting with hounds, explained how all fox hunting was completely unnecessary because foxes eat dead things and they act like cleaners of the countryside. He also said that killing foxes will just result in another predator taking its place (odd that, a predator taking the place of a carrion eater/vacuum cleaner but we’ll let that pass). I’m not sure how long the LACS guy had but it must have been 3 minutes or so at least.

To balance this confused/confusing side of the hunting issue with views from the other side of the debate the BBC read out a couple of text messages from two members of the public. Total time, 8 seconds maybe ten.

The BBC is indeed like an old aunt. The smelly one with the dribbling and the flatulence.
