I HAVE never seen so much arrogance as that shown by the hunting fraternity. "We will break the law" they say, and now they will target local MPs, private individuals in their own homes (Hounded, October 1).

Maybe the miners and steelworkers should have blockaded Tory MPs in their private homes and perhaps pits and steelworks would still be open.

Oh but silly me, they'd have been arrested and jailed wouldn't they, probably to the cheers of the likes of Edward Duke.

Whenever these people congregate, the local police chief should read the riot act, and if there are any more scenes such as those outside Parliament, the leaders should be arrested and charged with incitement to riot.

No one is above the law, not even these arrogant fools.
