No one should relish killing animals - and I certainly didn't. But if you haven't been up close to a large trapped fox, perhaps reserve judgment.
Many or most Councils in London treat foxes as an urban pest. And at least one recommends clubbing them (says the MP)
To those concerned I have broken the law, I called and spoke to the RSPCA and left my contact details.
Meanwhile thanks for all the messages!

MPs might sense-check this (welcome) offer from Government against the safeguards for emergency regulations in Part II of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/36/…).
The analogy between safeguards in that legislation to emergency regs made by a Minister and to emergency legislation made by Parliament is far from perfect. Nevertheless they remain a useful way to sense-check emergency legislation introduced by a Government with a huge majority.
The requirement in the 2004 Act to consult the devolved administrations seems to me especially important in both theoretical/constitutional terms and in practical terms given the reported disapora from the big cities of England to the less populous parts of the United Kingdom.

Sorry to those upset by my tweet. My chickens were very distressed by the fox - both before and after I'd despatched it - and I wanted it out of the way quickly.
I was slightly shocked by the whole tooth-and-claw experience when I tweeted and that was what I was trying to convey. But my tweet, one of a number about keeping chickens in urban London, should have conveyed that better.
What's especially unfortunate is that I've already started to investigate the enormous harm done by factory farming, with a view to acting in that space in 2020. It would be a pity if my misguided tweets inhibited that. I'll try to do better. adamcorlett.com/2019/10/03/the…

Rather than trading insults - fun though it is - on twitter I'd be happy to come and talk to @piersmorgan about why we should all be worried about a state-backed broadcaster that internalises and regurgitates the narrative of the Government of the day.
This is what the BBC's Brexitcast sneers at the EU for wondering (listen to yourself from 42:25 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…). Yet, as the FT's Daily Brexit Briefing observes, it was what senior Tories were briefing and what EU commentators here were wondering.
Not hard to understand why the Government might now want to say 'only the stupid EU could possibly have thought a big Johnson win will mean a softer Brexit'. But why is the BBC pushing a narrative which it must know to be false?

I #linger dockside, watching laborers load ideas into the ship’s hold for their dangerous trip across the astral sea.

Waiting for my opportunity to stow away and sail into the starry night.

#vss365
I crawl up the rope from the far pier to the ship’s deck and climb over the rail. Glance around quickly, then duck down the stairs to the hold.

My eyes adjust and I see dreams stored neatly for their trip across the sea of night. I’m seeking #haven from nightmares.

#vss365
Hidden in the hold, I feel the ship move as the ropes let loose. The mystical tide pulls us out to sea. We rise into the night.

The ship begins to pitch and roll, as a #wild psychic storm passes over. The hatch slams shut above me.

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.
#RandomThoughts
Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH
