I know loads. Most people I know are in favour of the ban. I'm amazed by your statement.
It's not all about class war, or 'having the slightest knowledge' about the matter. A lot of people are uncomfortable with the idea of people taking pleasure from the brutal death of the fox/dear/whatever...
And more Labour politicians went to Oxbridge than went to public school - they worked through the state system. They are therefore more relevant to more people, in my book.
What do you mean, 'enjoyed by far more people'? It's vehemently opposed by a large majority.
No government sticks entirely to their manifesto. No government ever. And if truth be told, you need a majority in Parliament to constitue a mandate, don't you?
But I'm beginning to sound like I'm...
Not everything that Governments do is in their manifesto. Surely you know that? Does that mean that it's always wrong?
It's not for you to decide what is more important. To refer to gay people as 'a few on the fringes of society' betrays, once again, your prejudiced standpoint.

Unfortunately, a fair few of the modern Labour Party have followed the ancient Tory template. Less than the Tories, but still too many. It's why I find them less appealing than I used to, and why I have felt disenfranchised at times.
Because it's 2013, the world has moved on, 1950s' bigoted attitudes are finally being consigned to the past, and the Tories are making an effort to show that they are relevant. This, while trying to hide the fact that their policies are more damagingly right wing than Thatcher.
