No doubt there will be the usual flurry of emails 'rabbiting ' on about Labour and deficits.

And while we can understand why the Doctor runs from the pain of loving and losing people ... we can't accept this rabbiting as heroic.

I am a member of a small deer stalking syndicate [5 in total] where we lease the sporting rights on a block of commercial hill forestry & manage the resident population of roe deer, I also buy a few days away for the larger deer species & so have a .243 Win & .270 in addition to a .22 for rabbiting etc & a few shotguns for driven shooting & wildfowling etc.

On this solitary hill the only intrusions on silence were the distant "pop" of a rabbiting farmer's shotgun, the muted roar of a tractor, and the gulls' cries.
