Is a Hunting for Sport Supporter-Ugh


His acting is fine, but as a decent human, he is bad. He supports the hunting of foxes for sport. As Gandhi aptly said, "The moral greatness can be determined by how its animals are treated." The same can be said of individuals.

I agree he said the hunting ban is against civil liberties, cant he find a better cause ? I would have thought there would be plenty out there for him to bleat on about . Fox hunting is the same mentality as badger /bear baiting I see no difference all depraved activities for blood thirsty people who enjoy seeing animals ripped apart ugh !They are completely lacking compassion and a human without compassion is a repulsive individual imo .

He also came out swinging in favor of men touching woman on the butt and against children who were sexually molested. He's picked some odd causes to champion.

In 2011, Jeremy Irons courted controversy when he was reported to have said in a radio interview: "If a man puts his hand on a woman's bottom, any woman worth her salt can deal with it. It is communication. Can't we be friendly?"

Now though, in an interview with The Times, he is claiming that he was misquoted.

"I love touching, I always touch people," Irons told the newspaper in his defence.

"I don't think I said 'bottom' [in the Radio Times interview] but of course I was misquoted. Basically, I said that any self-respecting woman would tell you to *beep* off [if she minded].

Irons maintains he was misquoted in the bottoms comment.

I'm not a fan of hunting, but if he wants to support hunting as a civil liberty, that's his business. Nor would I begrudge someone for having hunting as a hobby either.

You shouldve heard what he said about guy marriage and fathers marrying their sons for 'tax purposes!'
I hope his Mrs clumped him one-I wouldve been cringeing myself inside out...
