Quite a photo

it's the only language they understand

the horse walloper

Take that, Dobbin.

i don't know what that horse did but there is a lot of pearl clutching around disciplining animals. it's not as if you can sit them down and explain what they did wrong.

She punched the horse in the face and is part of a foxhunting group. She's obviously a twat and I highly doubt she has any empathy for her animals.

in the footage i saw she was kicking it too, it wasn't just ("just") one punch

it's not as if you can sit them down and explain what they did wrong.

same for small children iirc

ahhh now i've seen the video. okay wtf. and a fox hunter as well! i should probably follow these links before i shoot my mouth off, sorry

tracer hand? puncher horse morelike

Moulds, and several friends and family who have supported her throughout proceedings, wept as the verdict was delivered.

Can a horse cry?

it's at times like this that we need AA Gill to come back to life and write a book about travelling to a third world country to punch a horse

when I say "need" I mean

i forgot Gill was dead and i've just realised it's cos i always confuse him with AN Wilson

blurred her face in the video, huge banner photo of her 4 inches higher up.

You shouldn't laugh but...

Auditions for the reboot of Byker Grove got out of hand.

somewhere in the north I see, I assume it's always like that

when I lived in the north-east the Chronicle would regularly publish an article every few years about how the Raby was under new management and was now a pleasant place to drink/shaking off its bad reputation etc, gland to see this tradition continues

For years though, it had a reputation no pub craved. Violence and drugs were par for the course

not seeing what they're getting at here

the horse fight was the funnier of the two though, needs the soundtrack of a Three Stooges short dubbed over it

A former teacher has been found not guilty of animal cruelty after video footage showed her kicking and slapping a horse.

A yoga class was cut short after a member of the public called the police to report a “mass killing” after seeing several people lying on the floor.

Participants in the class, which was being held at the Seascape café, inside the North Sea observatory in Chapel St Leonards, Skegness, Lincolnshire, were in the midst of meditation when officers turned up on Wednesday night.

A group of men wearing Nazi military uniforms had to be escorted from a 1940s celebration "for their own safety", organisers said.

They were wearing German SS outfits and were asked to leave the event in Sheringham, Norfolk, after complaints.

after complaints that some of the SS insignia on display "lacked authenticity"

I've always wondered about the UK predilection for dressing up as WWII Germans.. didn't Prince Harry do something like that?

Seems like it's a long-running trope

As a trope it's just the ultimate edgelord move - remember when ppl like Brian Jones or Sid Vicious flirted with that shit they were the sons of the generation that literally fought Hitler. With Prince Harry it was at a "natives and colonizers" party, so edgelordery of a different stripe.

"You don't want Nazism or fascism at an event to celebrate and commemorate... what life was like in Britain at the time."

Unless you're talking about the Channel Islands of course

“I am not afraid of going to jail, I have been jailed twice before and I’m told that these days they have toilets and televisions so I don’t think that it will be a hardship.”

i'm always torn in these situations on account of councillors and property developers both being a set of cunts

"The Nazis were out of order but at least you knew where you were with them"

At least they stood up for what they believed in.
