Go and hunt a Red Lion - if you think you're hard enough!!

Go and hunt a Red Lion if you think you're bad enough!!!

'Punches were thrown as the two groups met outside The Red Lion pub' technically correct, but disingenuous. 'Protesters, violent assaulted by hunt supporters' would be a better editorial.

Where ..Is it a full on punch up.. pictures

except didn’t arrest the big red jacket nonces on horseback arranging an illegal group activity to kill animals, did they?

I thought violence was the whole point of the hunt?

good afternoon, oh my gosh that is really awefull people should abide the law , and i see in the photo that people are not wearing masks, and yet covid is running wild at the moment. silenceisnotgolden

Where are the arrests for the illegal violence unleashed by hunts every week?

Wax Jacket nonces.

Hopefully to the posh Tories slaughtering animals

I bet it wasn't one of the cruel evil pricks in red jackets
