HOW I laughed at the jolly japes of those loveable rogues from the Real Countryside Alliance for dressing up the Kilburn White Horse as a red jacketed hunter.
And when I discovered they had left a wodge of cash to pay for their vandalism, I could almost forgive them for breaking the law.
But not quite, because these are the same vandals who have been spray painting their pro-hunting slogans all over North Yorkshire and costing thousands of pounds of taxpayers money to clean up.
I do not find tearing a fox to pieces with a pack of dogs or trapping a vixen and her cubs in a den and sending in the terriers amusing either. At the last count, and the one before that and the one before that, neither did most people, including MPs.
