Wildwood Trust’s Wolf Bloodbath

BY ALEXIA JAMES A Failure of Conservation: Wildwood Trust’s Wolf Pack Pay the Ultimate Price for Captivity The recent announcement from Wildwood Trust, near Herne Bay, that it euthanised its entire wolf pack is being framed as a tragic inevitability—a “heartbreaking decision” forced by the breakdown of the pack’s social dynamics. But to accept this narrative without question is to ignore the fundamental cruelty inherent … Continue reading Wildwood Trust’s Wolf Bloodbath

Ruth Tingay and the RSPB Hit Squad

BY BEN O’ROURKE The raptor propagandist Ruth Tingay hates me. I know this, as she blocked me on every social media platform not long after the case against me and Fieldsports Channel was brought by one of her best mates, Chris Packham. But in York on Thursday 29th January, she may have crossed a line from distance-hatred to in-your-face harassment. I was standing outside the … Continue reading Ruth Tingay and the RSPB Hit Squad

Eco-Charlatans’ Festival of Flatulence

BY JOHN NASH A small queef of excitement has crept into the Westminster Asylum, that island reserve where the rare creatures of Homo politicus vulgaris live in splendid and well-appointed isolation. A sub-species among them, H. politicus tetraodontiformicus, known as ‘Westminster Greenies’, are in a state of near hysteria.  Fascinating and easily identified by their piscatorial aroma, they are related to the puffer and blow … Continue reading Eco-Charlatans’ Festival of Flatulence

Grouse Shooting Triumphs as Packham’s Extremist Campaign Crumbles

BY ALEXIA JAMES Oh, what a glorious day for rural Britain! A few days ago, in the hallowed halls of Westminster, the campaign to ban driven grouse shooting was left in tatters—and we can’t help but spare a thought for poor Chris Packham (who showed up looking like a darts player) and his sidekick the propagandist Ruth Tingay who must have found the whole affair … Continue reading Grouse Shooting Triumphs as Packham’s Extremist Campaign Crumbles

Time to Save Animals from PETA

BY BRIAN MONTEITH You know a political campaign is struggling to be heard when it resorts to shock tactics you wouldn’t want your kids to see in order to gain publicity. There’s a lot of such desperation going about, from the doom-mongering antics of Chris Packham covered in these pages here, to the promotion of transgender ideology using drag artists in primary schools, for the … Continue reading Time to Save Animals from PETA

Pied Piper of Eco Doom

BY BEN O’ROURKE With brainwashed followers ready to sacrifice their futures for his climate cause, the former children’s TV presenter Chris Packham’s influence has become dangerous. In the 1960s and 70s, men wearing sandwich boards alerting people to the approaching ‘end of the world’ began appearing in town and city centres across the world. It was assumed they were lunatics and ever since, they’ve featured … Continue reading Pied Piper of Eco Doom

Fall of the ‘Eco’ Trolls

BY BERT BURNETT The Demise of the Online Haters of the British Countryside Ignoring trolls like Chris Packham and George Monbiot, who thrive on triggering emotional responses from Countrysiders and grow increasingly extreme and irrelevant, is not just a matter of personal preference—it’s a strategic necessity. These individuals have built their platforms on divisive rhetoric not science, often targeting the British countryside, its traditions, and … Continue reading Fall of the ‘Eco’ Trolls

Notes from the Actual Countryside

BY GARY BAXTER I have had eeefuckinnough. This winter has done it for me. It’s not so much the weather either.  So what erks me you ask? Tread mighty careful if you dare ask, as I am getting as growly as the Deputy Prime Minister’s ginger growler. So let me begin…  North of the border an outbreak of oversized pussy cats in the hills.

The Politics of Perpetual Victimhood

BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN You may have noticed. The Left often speaks of victimhood. They use it to gain power, silence foes, and hold the stage. They draw on tales of race, gender, class, and the earth itself. At its core, victimhood means feeling wronged, made small by others. In the public sphere, it pulls at the heart and claims the moral high ground. The Left … Continue reading The Politics of Perpetual Victimhood

Monkey Business – The Real Jane Goodall

BY JOHN NASH Recently, under the somewhat misleading banner of BBC News “Inside Science” (I kid you not, Dear Reader), we were treated to another pokey finger of hypocrisy courtesy of some Bash Britain Corporation (BBC) Radio 4 presenter or other. It was a piece about that much decorated monkey wench, Dame Jane Goodall, warning us that “The sixth great extinction is happening.” Will someone … Continue reading Monkey Business – The Real Jane Goodall

These Days Nobody Falls for Tingay’s Dead Cat

CSM EDITORIAL The dead cat strategy is the political strategy of deliberately making a shocking announcement to divert media attention away from problems or failures in other areas. In the PR world, it’s the introduction of a dramatic or sensationalist topic to divert attention from a more damaging issue that someone wants to keep hidden from the media, and therefore the public. ‘There is one … Continue reading These Days Nobody Falls for Tingay’s Dead Cat

As he grew older, so did his audience and the series gained him a new generation of young viewers interested in wildlife. Few people in the UK under 50 don’t know who he is.

Dear Mr Reed, Many congratulations from the Squires on your new role as Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Raptor Persecraption: Heavens to Murgatroyd

BY BEN O’ROURKE Heavens to Murgatroyd! How did a botched bird report become the seminal study on raptor persecution? Most of the tags attached to the birds of prey failed and less than a handful were confirmed illegally killed, yet researchers fiddled the figures to support an agenda. Ruth Tingay sat in her office one morning in March, 2019, clutching a wad of freshly-printed paper, … Continue reading Raptor Persecraption: Heavens to Murgatroyd

Hamas & the Hunt Sabs

CSM EDITORIAL There was a time, in the bad old days of ALF, when animal rights terrorists were considered the second greatest terror threat to the UK behind the IRA. While various Islamist groups have overtaken them now, animal rights terrorism still abounds, carried out by a small but active crew of extremist cadres who still resort to violence to pursue their political aims.

All Eyes on Hampshire Constabulary

CSM EDITORIAL The Squires’ experience of dealing with Hampshire Police over Chris Packham matters during the last couple of years left us feeling – rightly or wrongly – that the organisation was a clueless chumocracy. Hopefully there are others who have had better experiences. And at least there’s a new Chief Constable, Scott Chilton, at the helm these days. Either which way, the Countryside now … Continue reading All Eyes on Hampshire Constabulary
