William Cross, Tory Rutland Councillor for Oakham (Braunston and Martinsthorpe) filmed using force to remove Hunt Saboteurs from his farm at Hilltop farm, Braunston, Oakham, Leicestershire.

William Cross, Tory councillor for Oakham (Braunston and Martinsthorpe) filmed using force to remove Hunt Saboteurs from his farm at Hilltop farm, Braunston, Oakham, Leicestershire.




I was not surprised to see this video what surprises me is he is not running around with a shot gun, and whoever re selected this crazy Tory Councillor should be?

He was at a boxing day meet here in Oakham and seemed to enjoy it when a few people connected to the Cottesmore Hunt started attempting to intimidate me. I am guessing he never liked me voting to ban the hunt from Cutts Close for leaving the park covered in shit and bringing along the tethered eagle.



By posting the content below I am not in anyway agreeing or supporting the comments about Cllr William Cross made by Northants Hunt Saboteurs.
I have my own well known opinions of the Tory Jester at Rutland County Council.




Meet the Meet Hosts :Oakham Tory Councillor- William Cross.
Yet another Tory Councillor!
Today, the 10th of December 2019, the Cottesmore hunt met at the home of William Cross, Hilltop farm, Braunston, Oakham, Leicestershire.
If you think you have heard this name before, You’d be right as a previous meet hunt host (James Mossman) backed him as a Tory councillor.
Again, this is further evidence of the deep web reminiscent of the mafia within powerful hunting circles.
It does appear online that William Cross is not particularly liked by local people. A quick search on google brings up an interesting blog on his council habits that include him falling asleep (see pic) and his love of an alcoholic tipple whilst at council.

William Cross has a long history with the Cottesmore hunt, as you can see from this article about the hunt written in 1994.  https://www.tatler.com/gallery/cottesmore-hunt
Search a little further and you will find that he also runs a bed and breakfast at Hilltop farm. Might give that homestay a miss!
William is also secretary of the Cottesmore hunt hedge cutting society.

Coming up next a video of William Cross forcefully removing a Sab from land last year.
