Apparently "Boris" Is going on a hunt.

Is it too much to ask for a Lord Tyrell?

Fully expect Sunak to try and get back in the race by announcing that he will legalise the hunting of dirty northern peasants if there are not enough Grouse available.

I used to go grouse beating when I was in my early teens as my dad was a game keeper. That's waving a flag to make the grouse fly rather than actually 'beating' them... Just to clarify incase folk don't know

It used to be a right payday for my age. I'm sure it was around £15 a day. To think my paper round paid about £5 a week. Also the majority of the guns are minted so often paid big tips.

A lot of walking though. Oh and definitely ran the risk of getting shot in the late 80s. I imagine it's a lot safer now. We regularly had bits of 'shot' landing around us.
