    Pity their stance is not about the lack of shooting but rather the lack of medals that they could take home.

    Great stuff. The British media is also at the forefront of bans on hunting.

    The British Media are, yes. But there is a large and active shooting population in the UK who do not share the snowflakey views of the British Media.

    It's a very class based activity.
    They don't like drawing attention to their activity.
    With the right attitude they can be very welcoming though.

    India is extremely antigun. Seventy years after they kicked the British out those laws are still used to suppress the population.

    I agree with atunguyd that they objected for the wrong reasons ( as we would have liked).
    live out your imagination , not your history.

    The Brits REALLY need to put their class issues behind them.
