Welsh assembly could help the Welsh

In an apparent piece of shocking political chicanery Lord Elis Thomas, the Welsh Assembly's presiding officer, said that it could be possible for the Welsh to amend the part of the Hunting Bill that list exceptions to allow Welsh dogs to be used to flush foxes residing in Wales from inaccessible areas like Welsh forests so that they can be safely shot.

English dogs are expected to support their Welsh counterparts but one dog, Rufus of West Sussex, remarked:

I expect a few foxes to cross the border from Wales into England if the Assembly actually acts on this. I mean cripes. If this ever gets out, you know, that England is a soft touch on vermin well, where will it end? Cats, squirrels, rats, hand in hand, streaming into the Shires. I'm not speciesist, but honestly, who's representing us honest working English dogs these days? Poppy, she's my bitch, is livid.
