BY JOHN NASH The civilised world is up in arms because, according to the English translation of the leaked Spanish edition of Prince Harry’s ghost written book, Spare, and of course according to whoever wrote it, Harry said that in six missions as a donkey walloper (Cavalryman, but riding an Apache gunship) in the Afghan Graveyard of Empires, he killed 25 enemy fighters. “It wasn’t … Continue reading Harrying Harry
BY JOHN NASH The annual assault on wallet and digestive system has washed over us again accompanied by a stream of TV charity chuggers hoping to shame us into giving them money for every worthy and unworthy cause on Earth. I watched through heavy eyelids as the “last elephant on Earth” tottered repeatedly across the screen, bracketed by those cheerful adverts for happy funerals. It may … Continue reading Have Faith In Ferrero Rocher
BY JOHN NASH Being refined and civilised people of excellent taste, most readers of CSM are probably yet blissfully unaware that a tsunami of bile erupted not long ago among the inhabitants of that strange metaphysical country called Social Media, that place ceramic-toothed, tattooed moderns, Siamese twins of their telephonic apparati, use instead of intelligence. This particular brouhaha concerned the very excellent and highly entertaining … Continue reading Naked Outrage
BY JOHN NASH At the end of November, the BBC, our nation’s very own 5th column and bastion of national self-hatred, announced with glee that “Jamaica is considering whether to seek compensation from a wealthy Conservative MP for his family’s historical role in slavery” – a role from 400 years ago. For those who have been hiding incommunicado in a covid bunker for some … Continue reading Deeply Regrettable
BY JOHN NASH Anxieties offer potential to the unscrupulous and one of the UK’s most unscrupulous exploiters of the fictitious “imaginary evil hunter causing species extinction” is Eduardo Gonçalves and his “Ban Trophy Hunting” company. He feeds the extinction-anxious, the media and politicians alike with a constant stream of displacement nonsense and his hysterical “revelations” about the sins of the imaginary evil hunter. Quite openly … Continue reading Gale: Hypocrisy on Speed
BY JOHN NASH There is a CITES meeting in Panama this month, ostensibly to discuss global wildlife protection and trade. Like many before it, it will be infested with top-table eco-parasites sucking a living out of the more serious adult matters, led by Animal Rights Extremists and Big International NGOs all busy buying poor delegates’ votes as usual. Suspiciously coincidental, on 25th November, there is yet … Continue reading Khama Chameleon
BY JOHN NASH Country Squire readers will recall Australia’s terrifying Black Summer, 2019/20, when massive bush fires burned some 35 million acres, destroyed an estimated 3 billion vertebrates (perhaps driving a number to extinction), wrecked scores of irreplaceable rock paintings, wiped out 3000 buildings and, sadly, 47 people died. The tragedy may have cost Australia as much as A$80 billion. Now research has revealed the … Continue reading A Burning Issue
BY JOHN NASH The Mirror Online published more hate speech on October 22nd, in a piece by Sean Rayment, their ex-para who usually writes about military matters but has now apparently gone AWOL from reality. Maybe he has developed PTSD, poor sod. In the piece: “Campaigners slam company arranging trophy hunting safari to kill wildlife in South Africa”, he reported that “Members of the Avon … Continue reading Africa Deserves Better
BY JOHN NASH We humans are cave people – we have been since we were stood up on two legs, and today our modern cave is a really complex metaphorical cave that we call civilisation. It evolved from our need to protect ourselves from the violent and uncaring competition of nature in order to nurture our kind, and to reproduce in safety. It has worked … Continue reading The Scarcity of Common Sense
BY JOHN NASH There is a huge difference between a dairy farm where milk is produced from grass and, say, a petting farm where people, especially children, go to see and touch live animals. Rather importantly, the first is actually a farm and the second is entertainment even when sold as education. Farming is a primary occupation, exploiting the “outside” environment to produce the … Continue reading Different Worlds
Rural industries and field sports in the UK are in constant danger from 3P (Pillocks, Parasites and Politics) whose noisy views are usually personal daydreams or sentimentality, making such objections mainly fictional – based on neither factual truth nor understanding. It is therefore important that rural politics are subject to some sort of oversight based on truth and understanding, otherwise you end up with laws and … Continue reading Abuse of Parliamentary Rules by Animal Rights Extremists
BY JOHN NASH A report of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Banning Trophy Hunting June 29, 2022: If you wander into a meeting of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Banning Trophy Hunting (APPGBTH), you may be forgiven for thinking you have wandered into the Mos Eisley cantina in Star Wars…it is a smug, tinfoil-hat group of cranks and zealots who suffer from a bizarre, … Continue reading Trophy Hunting & Britain: The Case for a Ban
BY JOHN NASH The Daily Maverick’s padded-cell correspondent, Don Pinnock (Dumb Pillock), has been at the crayons again. Personally, I’m convinced the nurse has been overdoing his meds. On 7th July ’22, he scribbled a Daily Maverick (a leading South African source of news, opinion and investigations) farticle about “a forensic study” into Botswana’s Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) conservation system. The “study” found … Continue reading Cruise Control
BY JOHN NASH Earlier in May, The Mail published a piece by Graham Boynton explaining that our beloved government’s proposed Ban on the Importation of Hunting Trophies would be very, very bad for the remote people and wild animals of southern Africa. He wrote that supporters of the ban, including Lord Ashcroft, “have good intentions no doubt but, according to many Africans, their proposals are … Continue reading Lord Ashcroft is Wrong about Trophy Hunting
BY JOHN NASH Praise the Lord, Dear Reader! While you have been selfishly hiding in your basement, trying to stay alive by cooking your pets on a fire made of your surplus face-masks and toilet roll stockpile, outside in the glittering firmament of slebworld, the global environment and all of its wildlife have been saved from extinction! It says so on Twitter. Well, that’s according … Continue reading Nature is Saved?
BY JOHN NASH CSM readers will be aware of the saying, “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread”. Well, Dear Reader, may I offer you a complete idiot not only rushing in, but hurling himself into an intellectual slurry-pit at warp speed 20. He could not have put more feet into his mouth if he was a millipede contortionist. He stands as a severe and ominous example … Continue reading A Gale of Methane
BY JOHN NASH Oh, dear. A cruel and evil trophy hunter has murdered, for money, one of Africa’s last great bull elephants, an elephant that many tourists were clamouring to see. He could have provided thousands of photo-tourists with unknown years of pleasure. Now the poor people of Botswana have been deprived of years of tourist income, the magnificent bull has lost his right to life, and the … Continue reading Cecil
BY JOHN NASH On 12th March, the Mirror online ran the “exclusive” and tragic news that “Boris Johnson has ditched the Animals Abroad Bill” – you know, that one that would have banned the importation of hunting trophies and saved more wild animals than Noah. Apart from the fact that Boris hasn’t personally ditched the cretinous proposal, the article was the usual Mirror fake-news eco-hate-speech, this … Continue reading Animals Abroad Bill Bites the Dust
BY JOHN NASH On February 26th, regular readers of CSM will have enjoyed Roger Watson’s delightful spud-bashing memories of child slavery, reminding us all how comfortable UK life has become over the last seventy years or so. Without going as far as Monty Python’s funny Four Yorkshiremen sketch, things were harder then, but, because we are optimistic humans, two things happened. We have banned many dangerous and … Continue reading Greenwoke
BY JOHN NASH Dear CSM Reader, There was a brief flurry of snowflakes earlier in January, when Adam Hart appeared on BBC Countrybile, the Beeb’s fluffy programme for neurodivergent urban armchair-farmers. Apparently, Mr Hart did a relevant piece about a very real problem – the rising tide of wild deer in the UK. As erudite and intelligent readers of CSM understand perfectly well, deer are horny … Continue reading Land of Woke and Tory
