In fairness it was the main talking point amongst the populous during covid. How will my business survive, will I keep my job, do frontline staff have ppe and then what are the rules for grouse shooting…
You could meet outside in larger groups to play football, rugby and a dozen other things. If it was *just* shooting that was exempted, that would be all sorts of fucked up, but including shooting shorts in the list of things you could do outside in larger groups isn’t really controversial imo.
They shut down the country, stole billions from you, lied about it then killed animals for fun and then had parties to relax.
What are you going to do about this?
The sad thing is, we knew about this at the time, it just got buried under everything else and now we’ve forgotten about it.
Most people in the UK didn’t vote Conservative…
Yet they got most seats in Parliament…
We have a Majority Conservative Government that most don’t want. That isn’t democracy.

How can you genuinely believe that this is good?
