Excuse me but I think that's wrong. I don't believe anything changed between Tory and Labour governments on this issue, and if the Tories are trying to use that to woo shooters' votes, that's cynical and disingenuous of them.

There are plenty of things this government can be blamed for after 7 years in office, but this particular bandwagon was already fuelled, loaded and rolling under the Tories, in a way that the '97 election results couldn't and didn't influence.

And it was Thomas, not David Hamilton.
