Please remember that I am disputing your earlier statement that it was
Labour Party policy to regard the hunting issue as a class war matter.
You have failed abysmally to prove your point.

For the nth time, the rantings of individual party members does not
constitute party policy.


You are, of course, correct, however I don't see why the MP's remarks

should
be dismissed as 'rantings' in this instance. As he was an 'insider' who
witnessed the process first hand, and, presumably, was privy to many
discussions with and between colleagues on the issue, I'd imagine his
observations and insights on what motivated a number of them might have a
degree of credibility.

Yes indeed, if that's what his article had been about. But it wasn't -
it was about what motivated the pro-hunting people to react so strongly



That is not the inference I drew from it.
