LAST Thursday I was browsing through the Gazette when I came across an article on fox hunting which included comments that made me choke on my tea with astonishment and disbelief.
How on earth can the Rev Chris Mulholland, vicar of St Mary's Church in Sopworth, have the gall to compare the pro-fox hunting fraternity with the struggle of the suffragettes? Not content with that, he went even further when he made comparisons with the Anti Apartheid Movement in South Africa!
I'm all for minorities fighting for something they believe in, even if I may not personally agree, but please do not categorise pro-fox hunting with the suffragette and Anti Apartheid movements. They were far more important issues which affected majorities not minorities.
