Sky New Vote

[GM090158]

There is currently a vote being taken on Sky News on whether ALL blood sports should be banned outright. In the news article they are mentioning the use of Eagles and Birds of prey for Foxhunting. It has got to be worth 25p to register your vote!

As soon as I get to school on Monday Ill get all my students to vote, or I'll log on to every machine on the network, I assume it registers and IP address to see if you've voted - they've all met my peregrine I'm sure they'll vote against a ban, apart from the fact a lot of them fish.

[Hawkmaster]

I have voted, but then thought why bother? Its obvious the outcome sky want, otherwise they wouldnt have termed the vote "should all bloodsports be banned" But used the less emotive 'fieldsports'.
