BBC wildlife presenter Chris Packham has called on the beleaguered Government to ban trail hunting as an easy way to shore up support after its election “drubbing”.

The 65-year-old spoke at a protest in Westminster against trial hunting organised by the League Against Cruel Sports.

The gathering of around 300 people included speakers urging people to sign a Government consultation against trail and fox hunting.

If they want to stop fox hunting they should consider the following:

capture the foxes in humane traps
wrap the foxes in Israel flags
release the Israel-flag-wrapped foxes
hunting foxes is now antisemitic and terrorism
within 24 hours, the government will send their anti-terror police to arrest all the fox hunters
