How to police the hunts

Some people have raised the question of how the police can actually implement the new law on hunting when (and whenever) it comes into force if fox hunters are determined to ignore it. We now have an answer:

I've asked the Chief Constable recently about how we're going to police this if it does break down - you know, civil disorder, the rest of it - and he said it will be exactly the same as when we dealt with the miners.

My only advice would be to put different tyres on the vans, you know, ones with deeper tread. Oh, and also for the police to train their cavalry to jump ditches and hedges and the like at a full gallop. Otherwise, good plan. Can't fail.
