I was interested to read Mr Shanks' view of the modern shooting fraternity. In my local and fairly typical game shooting syndicate we have the following personnel: a carpenter, a builder, 2 bricklayers, 2 sales reps, a service engineer, 2 engineers, a construction manager and 2 company directors employing people in the Vale.
Are these the 'toffs' that Mr Shanks is so bitter towards?. His outburst confirmed the standard prejudices that we always hear from ill informed and bigotted morons, rather than an argument based on fact and reason. We will never give into these bullies.
