Grouse shooting estates: Why is Theresa May starving our public services in order to make a small number of toffs extremely rich?
Why were we funding these estates in the first place, let alone increasing that funding now?
Public money is for services to which all the public may have need or should have access.
Grouse shooting estates do not qualify.
Mrs May needs to explain why she is depriving us all of the services I mentioned above, and using the money to make a very small number of people exceedingly rich.
Theresa May says there isn’t enough money for doctors, nurses, hospitals, firefighters, so little money that she has had to cut 20,000 frontline police officers, not enough money to help the 400,000 more children in poverty since her government came to power, the 300,000 more pensioners in poverty or the homeless whose numbers have risen by 53% since 2010 …
… BUT SHE’S FOUND ENOUGH OF OUR MONEY TO INCREASE SUBSIDIES FOR GROUSE SHOOTING ESTATES FROM £30 PER HECTARE TO £56 PER HECTARE?
The amount you are now paying for her wealthy mates ‘sport’ has risen from £45m to £84m.
Exceedingly rich people are about to get considerably richer – all willingly paid for by you and me.

Only those with defective and sadistic minds would have anything to do with hunting of any sort and this does seem particularly affect Tories.
