The principal shareholder of Reform UK Ltd Nigel Farage has joined a Boxing Day hunt. He does this every year. He does not of course mount a horse but parades around in a flat cap and yellow trousers holding a pint of beer (albeit in a plastic glass). The hunt, which is not allowed to pursue actual foxes (at least officially) met in Chiddingstone Kent, near to one of Farage’s properties.
Farage claimed that hunting is a British tradition, which it certainly is for a certain kind and class of person. Another British tradition opposes hunting, and Farage did in fact find protesters today.
Farage has been doing this on Boxing Day- same outfit, always holding a pint- since at least 2016. In short its a PR stunt, the one thing (aside from drinking and smoking) that Farage is actually good at.
