Hunting Act repeal debate sparks vicious online abuse from anti-Tory extremists

Chilling... masked hunt saboteurs regularly intimidate hunt participants and spectators.

Chilling… masked hunt saboteurs regularly intimidate hunt participants and spectators.

As the debate over the Hunting Ban resurfaces following David Cameron’s pledge to offer a free vote on the issue , anti- Tory agitators have been quick to hijack the mood.

Following an online poll to debate the issue on Facebook, mixed messages of both support for the repeal and constructive comments from those  against, quickly transcended into vile anti- Cameron & Conservative slurs.

Among the hundreds of disturbing comments, some even called for the murder of Tory Party members:

Other comments called on ‘toffs’ to be hunted:

Additional comments followed the physical assault theme, whilst others attacked Tory voters:

As the debate intensifies over coming months, it appears intimidation shall not only be channeled at advocates of the hunt, but also Tory voters and supporters. Essentially those who may otherwise have had nothing to do with the debate in question.

This comes despite the admission of several Tory  MPs who have openly objected to the repeal, including Sports Minister Tracey Crouch.

Another example of how anti- Conservative extremists will stop at nothing to peddle hatred and use any  emotive platform available.
