The House of Lords > The Issues > Fox Hunting

The House of Lords, a more or less archaic body without much say or much to say in UK politics, has been galvanized by parliamentary legislation against fox hunting. Rather than rubber-stamp the bill per usual, they have bitten the hand that feeds them and resisted the change doggedly, unleashing an interhouse dogfight that will no doubt lead to members of the media sniffing out new angles and hounding them at all turns.

Frankly, I think they're barking up the wrong tree.
