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
BY NICHOLAS ROSE How a Welsh Arrest Exposes the Lingering Threat of Single-Issue Terror In the quiet, misty Conwy valley, where the only disturbances are the bleating of sheep and the changing of the seasons, the arrest of a man known to locals as ‘Danny Webb’ sent ripples through the community. But the tremor was felt far beyond the hills of North Wales. It was … Continue reading Net Tightens on UK Cadres
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

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
BY BEN O’ROURKE BBC Presenter Chris Packham used to be known for his peroxide hair and quirky kids programmes then graduated to BBC’s ‘Springwatch‘ and all the spin-off series. 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. For the … Continue reading Chris Packham, the BBC Extremist: ‘Stick Your Head in a Bucket of Fuel and Set Fire to it’
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
BY JOHN NASH “AT XMAS…. SICK KILLING TRADE. Reindeer horror. A Scots firm has sparked fury by selling sick reindeer shooting hunts as Christmas approaches” fulminated the Mirror with a front-page spread together with some other rags on the 18th of December. Goodness gracious. For many people, this is the season of goodwill, so this is awful. Poor Rudolph shot dead at Christmas! Except that … Continue reading Reindeer Jingle Balls
BY JOHN NASH That great National Park teeming with African animals that is Crawley, West Sussex, has again been exposing its departing member, ‘Enry Smith MP in the form of his preposterous Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill. The Bill is the fruiting body of a brain-rot fungus commonly known as animal rights that affects luvvies and idealists. It has once again erupted like a common … Continue reading You’re ‘avin’ a Giraffe
BY BEN McCARTHY Dear Squires, This week I noted with interest how Mark Avery of the campaign group Wild Justice turned his nose up at a recent ‘unsettling’ image of the Mendip Hunt Sabs: “It recalls, too readily for me, paramilitary action” is an odd quote from Mr Avery. The other 2/3 of Wild Justice are comprised of outspoken hunt sabs who’ve been posting these … Continue reading Expose the Terrorists Among Us
BY THE EDITOR The recent exposé of armchair saboteur, troll, bully and Chris Packham supporter, Chris ‘Serenwyl’ Roberts (explanatory articles can be found here, here and here) prompted a flurry of new data from his victims. The new data confirmed a few things and taught us some new things about amateurish Chris Roberts: While all the data, new and old, has been passed to the … Continue reading A Grave Twist in the Chris ‘Serenwyl’ Roberts Exposé
CSM EDITORIAL A member of the Great British Public recently wrote to us with copies of a series of extraordinary email exchanges they had with the campaign group Wild Justice, which is run by Mark Avery, Chris Packham and Ruth Tingay. The (redacted) exchanges published below will boil your blood. We have given the author of the emails a random pseudonym, Mr Constantine Beavertail. We … Continue reading Wild Justice – Lightweight & Vile
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN It was with some reluctance that I was asked to present on film my take on the current battles over the Great British Countryside. Not my scene at all. Nonetheless I trooped up to Yorkshire with our terrier Angus (our labrador was banned by the producers as they thought he might gobble the microphone muff) and we shot the following three films … Continue reading The Countryside Fights Back
BY JAMES BARRINGTON Asking what methods of wildlife management anti-hunting or anti-shooting groups actually support, as opposed to the activities they are keen to condemn, should always be part of any debate surrounding field sports. The usual response is either a deafening silence or an idealistic ‘leave it all to nature’. Practical examples of how these alternative models of the countryside might look tend to … Continue reading The Blindness of Zealots
