‘Africans Hate Hunters’ Propaganda

BY JOHN NASH A couple of weeks ago, I commented on a deceitful article about giraffes written by Don Pinnock—affectionately known as Dumb Pillock—regarding the 40 million acres of South Africa’s legitimate and economically significant US$2.5 billion sustainable game hunting industry. I concluded that piece with the remark: “It would be difficult to pack more deceit into one article.” I must admit, that wasn’t entirely … Continue reading ‘Africans Hate Hunters’ Propaganda

Having a Giraffe

BY JOHN NASH On July 8th, The Maverick published an article by Don Pinnock, a well known Greenie pillock, entitled, with more neck than even his subject, “Giraffes under siege: The silent crisis of trophy hunting and its threat to survival”.  The article is a textbook example of paltering – eco-junk food, fed to non-hunters by snake-oil spinners, eco-mendicants and certain lying UK MPs. It carries … Continue reading Having a Giraffe

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

Big Cats and Polecats

BY JOHN NASH On 4th April, Channel 4 TV News Chief Correspondent, Alex Thomson, ran a tailpiece about the continuing attempts in the Westminster Asylum to ban hunting trophy imports into the UK, together with a short article on the C4 website. He pointed out that it is still legal to import “heads and body parts of species like buffalo, lion and giraffe despite promises … Continue reading Big Cats and Polecats

Rock and Roleplay

BY JOHN NASH Here follows a heartwarming story of sincerity and animal love for you:   On November 18th, a whole swathe of media outlets, no doubt fed by that deceptive propagandist and shyster Eduardo Gonçalves, including the heavy metal and hard rock website Blabbermouth, reported that Ozzy Osbourne, the unreliable junkie frontman, kicked out of the band Black Sabbath way back in 1979, has … Continue reading Rock and Roleplay

European Colonialism is Back as ‘Animal Rights’

BY JOHN NASH This week, I have been remembering a silly school joke:    One evening, a policeman came across a strange fellow who was walking down the street inPenzance, throwing, in all directions, handfuls of white powder from a cloth bag.  “Allo, ‘allo” enquired plod, “And what are we doing, Sir?   “This here be elephant repellent, constable. Good stuff. It keeps elephants away”, slurred … Continue reading European Colonialism is Back as ‘Animal Rights’

‘Colonialist’ Anti Trophy Hunting MPs Ignore the Facts (Again)

BY JOHN NASH I have now recovered enough to comment on the Hunting Trophy Import Ban Second Reading in the Westminster Asylum on March 24th.  Whenever trophy hunting is about to be mentioned in the Commons, you can always read the script well beforehand – it is written in the Mirror by Eduardo Goncalves. This latest mystic Mirror message promised such excitement, Dear Reader, entitled, … Continue reading ‘Colonialist’ Anti Trophy Hunting MPs Ignore the Facts (Again)

Deception Returns: The Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill 2023-24

BY JOHN NASH The Conservative Party has detached from its foundations and is bobbing steadily towards a dangerous waterfall, much to the consternation of the captain who has discovered that abandoning well-piloted conservatism and the unfailing support of practical rural people in favour of ephemeral metropolitan popularity has led to pending disaster. Unsurprisingly, many of the invertebrates who came along for the ride are now … Continue reading Deception Returns: The Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill 2023-24

Fur Stirrer Fry

BY JOHN NASH Being an Old Testament bloke, I usually reply in kind to those rude people who call law-abiding farmers, hunters, field-sportspeople and wildlife managers “murderers, killers and evil monsters”. I insult people who tell blatant lies about trophy hunting, and I mock demented Animal Rights (AR) evangelists who are so blinded by zealotry that they can’t tell a human from a hippo. It … Continue reading Fur Stirrer Fry

Reindeer Jingle Balls

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

Not So Black and White, My Lords

BY JOHN NASH The simple navel-lint miners of the Westminster asylum have now voted to ban the import of hunting trophies. I will try to put this into context so that readers might understand the true horror of this crass demonstration of arrogant, neo-colonial folly.    The “debate” on Friday 17th March was a predictable re-run of the kabuki theatre performances seen earlier in October … Continue reading Not So Black and White, My Lords

Horns of a Dilemma

BY JOHN NASH The cerebral world of academia has given gas-and-air birth to another classical study for the world’s edification and delight, published a couple of months ago in People and Nature and in Popular Science.  Four eminent researchers have postulated that rhino horns are becoming smaller and conclude that selective human hunting might be to blame, saying, “we found evidence of declining horn size … Continue reading Horns of a Dilemma

Trophy Hunting is Not Killing Off A Single Species

BY JOHN NASH For those of you who may have missed it, Country Squire Magazine published my piece about the outrageous, unwarranted persecution and hate-mongering voided upon an innocent, law-abiding Mr Rizwan and his family by a fly-speck gutter reporter at the Mirror. You can see that Mr Rizwan is a decent family bloke in a short video (and rather more polite article than mine) … Continue reading Trophy Hunting is Not Killing Off A Single Species

The Burning of Mr Rizwan

BY JOHN NASH A Private Members Bill is coming up for another airing on the 25th January – the usual theatrical performance in Sleepy Hollow, the common class debating chamber inside the Westminster Asylum. To his shame, it is the “work” of the Conservative “member from Crawley”, Henry Smith. It is a thinly veiled anti-hunting extremist trope, disguised as the “Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill … Continue reading The Burning of Mr Rizwan

Only Fools & Remorses

BY JOHN NASH In 2005 BC (before Carrie), Boris Johnson illuminated what was the obvious bleedin’ truth to any Conservative (or anyone with an IQ higher than their age) by writing that the fox hunting ban was “Not about cruelty but a Marxian attack by the Labour government on the upper class”. By portraying fox hunting as a cruel, upper-class thing rather than a traditional … Continue reading Only Fools & Remorses
