Following the hunting ban I bet all those type of groups and people involved such as Clarissa knew exactly what all the laws were pertaining to it, and all the ins and outs. Mostly so they could moan about it.

Along with racehorse trainer Sir Mark Prescott, Dickson Wright was charged under a private prosecution by the International Fund for Animal Welfare with an offence under the Hunting Act 2004, namely hunting hares with dogs in North Yorkshire in March 2007.[10][11][12] On September 1, 2009, she and Prescott pleaded guilty and received an absolute discharge at Scarborough Magistrates' Court. They said that they were invited to the event by the Yorkshire Greyhound Field Trialling Club, which told the court that it believed it was running a legal event by using muzzled dogs

.

Someone explan the legal logic of this.

She didn't know the law, but ignorance is no defence, hence guilty.

So why the absolute discharge?

Because an absolute discharge is a sentence - i.e. you can only receive one if you're guilty of something. It's obviously the lightest punishment you can get, but it does mean that you have a criminal record.

But why give a sentence of nothing? At least make her show up to Probation a couple of times.

This guy from the utterly-unwatchable "Made in Chelsea":

This is a quote from the website:

Quote:

Flamboyant and fabulous, Ollie makes no secret of his love for fashion and fake tan. The 24-year-old is a seasoned pro on the London party scene and currently works as the VIP host for celeb hangout Whisky Mist.

He's the guy with the clipboard that everyone wants to be friends with and says it's his job to make sure they have a good time. Out partying every night, Ollie readily admits to always carrying the tools of his fabulous trade... namely his eyelash curlers. Ollie is happy to be called vain but never arrogant.

He previously worked for Leslie Ash and Lee Chapman at their Kings Road bar, JuJu and currently lives with Lord Brockett’s son, Alex.

Interesting fact: Ollie is writing a fantasy novel
Favourite London hangouts: Whisky Mist, Raffles, 151

What a over-privileged little shit.

I was unaware (until Pippa Middleton) that there are people who do this sort of thing professionally.

All in it together.

My initial reaction to this guy was 'what a prick'. Apparently quite accurate.

Thinks he's funny. He isn't. I've had toothache which is funnier than him.

Don't know if he has been listed here already but I'm not checking 30-odd pages as he deserves a second mention in any case. He is in today's Mail, which lists several of his 'hilarious gaffes' - or racial slurs, if you're half-civilized.

On TV now moaning about the "disenfranchised" countryside under Labour and slagging off people who think hunting is cruel were childish and unreasoning.

Tony Blair wanted to turn the countryside into a themepark, blah, blah. Yep no farm subsidies under Labour.

You lost a few elections. Get over it.

matthew sweet on the other hand, went up significantly in my estimations (not that i actually disliked him before):

"the countryside alliance, not so much a political movement, just the wingeing sound the right makes when it's not in power"

"clarrissa dickson wright is the telegraph readers fantisy of what woman of the british countryside used to be, a figure of absolute reliability and stoisism, and intollerance, and rudeness and other qualities we admire in this country for some reason"

on a related matter, can anyone explain her hated of otters? i may disagree with "country folk" over the issues of foxes and badgers, but i do understand where their position comes from (killing chickens, spreading tb) but...otters? anyone?

Love his comedy, although he can be quite arrogant. Some of his fans seem to be the same (but every fan thinks their hero is right about everything i.e. Littlejohn fans).

Clarissa seems to be a rich woman who moved to the country. She's therefore what the countryside is now as well.

I always struggle a bit with his comedy, because I quite like his material, but hate his smug, laboured, repetitive delivery. I'm slowly getting used to him, because my bloke practically rims him on a regular basis, but still.

I've just been reminded that though I don't like Ferguson much, at least he didn't act up and muck up the Champions League Final.

Like this cnut did in the semi.
