Nice one! Four gentlemen from the east of England (with Irish sounding names) got caught shooting hare from a moving vehicle last summer.

Brave indeed to be poaching in that area, just driving around the roads of Cashmoor you feel like you're in the sights of about 3 rifles at any one time.

Poachers in Dorset? Surely they’ll be sentenced to transportation at the very least.

Yes, although long haul voyages with captives shackled in chains and fed only bread and water is very much frowned upon now, so these days we tend to just shove convicts into the boot of a Taxi and have them dumped in Cornwall instead. The effect is much the same. Normally by the end of the journey they are too weak to run far and the locals soon eat em up.

Does the farmer get the victim surcharge? I bet not.

They need their hand cut off, or branding on their foreheads.

Bring back Judge Jeffries; he knew how to deal with them.

Just had an interesting few minutes sourcing the origins of those surnames. Two English, one Scottish, and one English/Scottish/Irish. Why are the Welsh not represented?

So not really "Irish sounding names" after all, are they?

Surely that would go to the poor orphan leverets.

Perhaps the Welsh guy didn't get caught?

Not an Irish sounding name amongst the four of them.

They’re Irish sounding if you say them in an Irish accent...

Nah! It's blatant racism. The law is meant to apply equally to all. Why are the Welsh discriminated against? :scratchhead:

I’ve lost some beef from my house. Is there some connection.

They won't have been fined, they will have to pay £5 a month or something ridiculous, and stop paying after a few months. Been there!

Send them to Mariapol Steelworks with their rifles...

Simple, everyone knows that if Welsh people cross the bridge they get terrible non-stop nosebleeds.

Problem is they’d probably fight for Putin.
