Adolf Hitler - Saddam Hussain - Tony Blair

[Judgemental]

As I said in another post, my handler, or as they are referred to on this forum, one's OH most thoughtfully gave me The Keen Foxhunters Miscellany by Peter Holt and published by Quiller for Christmas.

Until now I had been under the impression that the only two people to have banned foxhunting were Adolf Hitler and Tony Blair.

I discovered from Peter Holt's book Saddam Hussain also banned hunting.

Clearly Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussain both have a lot in common, they both met, shall we say a 'sticky end'.

Personally, if I were Tony Blair I would be on a mission to cause the Labour party to voluntarily agree with the Coalition government, a repeal the 2004 Hunting Act with an emergency sitting of Parliament!

If you are into omens, portents and history repeating itself ..........

Mince pies - too many. Spirits in moderation.

However it is the spirits that Tony needs to watch out for and I am not talking about the liquid variety!

I am a firm believer that foxes have a great deal to do with wirchcraft, sinster happenings and the occult.

Has anybody on this board seen a truly black fox? I did but only once, on the occasion hounds found on a farmer's property and the farmer had died that morning, unbeknown to the hunt.

Ah yes Somerset has many connections with witchcraft.

Legend has it that when they flooded Sutton Bingham for the reservoir, they had to concrete over a grave for a witch buried in medieval times, away from from Sutton Bingham's small church which is still up on the hill.

 

[EAST KENT]

Should`nt have worried about her body..she`ll be living on in someone else`s body-host anyway! No black foxes JM,but a couple of colonies of black rabbits,and of course never forget our local population of melanistic leopards,now I thought that was a myth till I saw one as well.
Always did think Blair was a bit mad..look what he married for Gaud`s sake..and the father in law too!!!

Are you like a walking wikipedia?! I've never even heard of Sutton Bingham...

One is always pleased to help inform and I suggest that you are one of more youthful members of this forum? Never be afraid of saying you have never heard of something or do not understand. Folk on this forum will always be pleased to give you an opinion.

Sutton Bingham is a stones throw from East Coker near Yeovil, the village immortalised by T.S. Elliot in his poem East Coker.

Indeed his remains are in the Elliot family vault in East Coker church, in the north west transcept of the nave.

However returning to Sutton Bingham, which is in Cattistock Country.

It appears you live in Somerset, you may find the reservoir and aquatic bird life are very interesting especially during this hard weather and the little church up on the hill is a must for any visitor.

Ah yes - Yeovil is near Glastonbury, which is full of witchcraft (and hippys) etc!

And yes, I'm 14 aha!

Please let those who lived under Hitler and Hussain know your great theory.

Anna Sewell was anti-hunt too, and you know what a fascistic demogogue she was.

 

[tootsietoo]

I STILL don't understand what the point of the comparison is!

Much as I am not keen on Tony Blair, it's pretty obvious that he was not quite as bad as the other two!

 

[EAST KENT]

Worry ye not..it`s the sloe gin "Normal" JM will return after a spell in the Priory.

1. Tony Blair took this country to war and invaded another soverign nation without a legal mandate. Both Hitler and Hussain did that as well.

2. It is very bad luck to be the author of a hunting ban and those who have been foolish enough to use their power so unwisely, always have an ignominious end. Hitler shot himself, they hanged Hussain and by all accounts made a mess of the job and decapitated him in the process!

3. Call it fate, of course perhaps fate can be reversed if one believes in the spiritual power of hunting over other mortal matters and the House of Commons.

for gods sake, what is this obsession with Hitler and Saddam and bloody Blair, its a time to look foreward not back to the hideous past- what wrong with you man?

 

[Serenity087]

I've seen a truely black fox.

Was magnificant.

Made my life, right up until I got snogged (with tongues!) by a eurasian wolf.

I'm a simple creature, me...

"Normal" – now that's a relative term

Hello Rosie, I see you have hit the line.

It's all to do with things like walking under a ladder - No 13 - seeing only one magpie.

It is very bad luck to have been the Prime Minister who was was in power when hunting was banned.

The spiritual power of hunting and the bad luck that haunts those that perpitrated the ban, goes with them for ever.

However if they reverse their misdeeds, then the bad luck turns into good luck and all is forgiven.

 

[Serenity087]

Pretty sure that Saddam Hussein wasn't a Prime Minister... more Dictator...

Do you think that the percentage of the 300 odd hunts that managed to hunt today will take heed of this nonsense- i think not.I imagine they think of the present day and getting over the next hedge /gate whatever!!

 

[ofcourseyoucan]

well i am not entering into the debate.. though i think they could all be described as tos@***. bound to be struck out for this comment too. see you all in a week or so..

Hang on a minute, JM. Exactly what fate has befallen our previous, "Changer of Faith"? (and you can interpret that as you wish). Has he paid any penalty? No. Has he been rewarded with a level of opulence and wealth to which he isn't entitled? Yes. He is entitled to the antonyms, and nothing more than that.

An ignominious end, for Blair? Hardly.

Alec.

 

[solitairex]

Define normal! Aha I shan't get involved in this as its far too complicated for me...!

 

[tootsietoo]

Ah right. JM is saying that he predicts that Tone will meet a sticky end.

It's a little thought to keep you warm at night I guess JM. Along with the sloe gin!

 

[Judgemental]

I am sure Mr Jorrocks would have said something to the effect of, "hawful bad luck to hinterfer with ounds - most hawful".

Come and gaze into my crystal ball Alec - but perhaps not with the same alacrity on your part, as you would were I a nubile female good at looking
into the future and full of eastern promise (Turkish Delight)

HA!! I suppose that I asked for that!!

Alec.

Oh Gaud ..he`s finally ,totally lost it!!

Presumably EK you are referring to my last post to which Alec responded.

Firstly I have the impression from various posts you are in your first flush, i.e under the age of 30. Ladies ages are at the best of times very sensitive and especially on this forum.

However, I have assumed you are a peaches and cream southern counties belle, who would be too young to be familiar with a certain advertisement for Turkish Delight many moons ago. However I am sure Alec remembers the part about being full of eastern promise!

Secondly there is something of a code in all this, purely for the amusement of all who hunt and contribute to this forum - of a certain age but we would not want the younger members to feel they are being left out of the riddle. Viz Riddle of the Sands.

 

[Kao]

Wasn't Hitler a vegetarian too?

As far as I know, Foxhunting is still going well in Germany
Saddam. No comment xD
Tony Blair, well, I was so tempted to buy a B***ocks to Blair t-shirt.

I'm not too sure the point of this thread so, and I quote the Penguins from Madagascar "Smile and wave boys, just smile and wave."
