SORRY you were UPSET

Jolyon Maugham QC’s fox-smashing exploit has garnered him considerable attention, and not the good kind. Maybe being a preening sadist isn’t such a great marketing ploy after all?

Had a difficult Christmas? Feeling a bit low today? At least you didn’t jump out of bed and bludgeon a fox to death with a baseball bat.

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.

So I smashed it with a club.

That’s the thing with sociopaths; it doesn’t occur to them that anyone else might view their actions in a different light.

And we do seem to have a lot of those around lately.
