This would have been my reply...

Oh god, are we still talking about this?
Jeeesus. Of all the things done in the last twelve years, why is foxhunting still so stupidly important?
We don't have dog fights any more, we don't do bear baiting, we don't stuff weasles down our trousers and bet on how long you can keep them down there, and we don't hunt foxes. The only difference between fox hunting and any of these other things is foxhunting is a considered a "rich person's sport" and they aren't. (And I know, I know, some of you are going to bleat "the poor people do it too you know! We can't stop them!")
And as so many people have said, in their smug, selfsatisfied "Oh, they can't change us, can they Theobold?" way, it didn't change anything. Just like we get underground cock-fighting dens, you can still have your excitingly illicit fox hunts. You can still feel like rebels against the disgutingly totalitarian state that is Britain, so stop whining and go and campaign about something important, I mean come on! There's a recession! Unemployment! It's practically the eighties! You should be indulging in a bit of light Marxism, predicting the fall of capitalism over coffee and joints or something.
