Nope. The majority of people in this country loathe hunting
Nothing has changed. Opinions are still not equal to facts particularly when they seek to misinform or misinform us by error.
Opinion in Britain about hunting is complex and the quoted post does not come close to reflecting the perspective held.
The majority of the population (71%) support hunting when it is conducted for the purpose of obtaining food, with a mere 21% opposing it.
Also there is notable support for hunting as a method of pest control. Fifty-three percent of Britons (the sort of majority that was acceptable when changing our world and our future well-being in the leave/remain vote) are in favour of farmers hunting animals that threaten agricultural interests.
Conversely, recreational hunting attracts only 10% of Britons. Public disapproval is particularly pronounced regarding trophy hunting, which is endorsed by only 4% of the population.
Some believe they have the "right to an opinion" However, that "right" is only available under a democracy and even that right does not make your opinion valid.
If we were discussing the best coffee shops on a Chat thread it wouldn't matter. But we are discussing a law; the very thing that gives us freedom of expression. Even with freedom of expression the state can lawfully restrict or punish expressions that cause harm. Examples are violations of private life, defamation, hate speech, obscenity, pornography, etc., etc.
In the Electoral Commission's most recent monitoring of public attitudes they found three-quarters of respondents felt that not enough action was being taken to address misinformation/disinformation. I can only agree.
