What possessed prominent Remainer lawyer Jolyon Maugham QC to club a fox to death with a baseball bat and then announce it on Twitter? All this was shattered when Maugham tweeted: “Already this morning I have killed a fox with a baseball bat. Of course, Leave-supporting news outlets loved it, but that doesn’t alter the fact that Maugham battered a trapped, helpless animal to death. If Maugham was concerned for his chickens, couldn’t he have just removed them, letting the RSPCA humanely deal with the fox? Should I rejoin Labour to vote for a new leader?
