Burnley MP will support hunt ban
4:12pm Tuesday 5th October 2010 in Burnley
SUPPORT: MP Gordon Birtwistle
BURNLEY MP Gordon Birtwistle has pledged to support the hunting ban after meeting with activists and staff from the League Against Cruel Sports.
He told them he would support the 2004 Hunting Act if there is a free vote in Parliament on the issue.
“Hunting with dogs seems cruel and outdated,” he said.
“I was pleased to see a ban introduce and will do my part to keep the ban in place.”
Mr Birtwistle also called for Parliament to put more focus on other animal rights issues.
He said: “I would like to see more focus on animal rights issues in Parliament however, and feel that there are many more areas where legislation could be helpful.”

No seems about it. It unquestionably is. The Government also needs to step up a response to the sickening act of dog-fighting. Huge custodial sentences for those scum please.

So why in Burnley alone out of the whole of East Lancashire do yopu account for the continued practice of Bull Terrier fighting and badger baiting?. The latter is now illegal.
Similarly, it is my belief that is why there are so many instances of sexual deviances and nuisance activities such as flashing, and similar. Laws are passed against these activities but it still doesn't stop the locals indulging their crude sinister practices.

Draw the inference : it doesnt need to be spelled out. Dave yoiu come from Burnley, the name change just makes things worse. Its akin to being a social leper as it is;-)

Harwoodandy, you forgot to include the customary dig at Burnley Football Club when you attack Burnley and Pendle, you need to study Tetley Dribler's posts to perfect your babbling.
