We’re proud to promote enjoyment of fieldsports and the countryside. There are three guiding principles to everything we do on Fieldsports Channel:
▶ Shoot responsibly
▶ Respect the quarry
▶ Ensure a humane, clean and quick kill

Even Blair has admitted that the hunting ban was a mistake.

As a Barclays customer I feel deeply offended by Packham’s comments, he should be arrested immediately.

Under the current situation, shouldn't Packham be arrested for thought crimes?

I as a Country side Alliance supporter and a Barclays customer, am so shocked that Packam suggests that I should set fire to myself is plainly and unequivocally inflammatory speech.
In the light of the current political climate and clampdown on freedom to express one's views, Packam's out spoken statement is an incitement for Barclays' customers to self harm.
I have reported the event to the Police, and expect to hear that he has been arrested, charged and jailed in short order as others have.
He refers to quote "burning the planet" something that correlates to Just Stop Oil, some who have also just been jailed.

What a happy way to start my saturday!! Future generations are going to look back at this couple of decades of wanten destruction of our countryside as madness.

Well there’s another excuse to open a bank account with Barclays!

[roebuckred]

GBNews showed this on Thursday night, I think it was.

[RetroGamesCollector]

I might open a Barclays account then... no better recommendation.

[peterwright]

Why does he get away inflammable and inciting threats which are of a threatening manner when they have arrested a chap for reiterating a so called threat of violence.Once again two tier prosecution of violent incitement

SORRY!! 6.2MILL for 6x shooters at the Olympics 😅 were they loading gold shot? We're they wearing Louis Vutton trainers? Wasn't accommodation taken care of, I'd like to know what that money went on

The Police have reviewed it and no crime committed .

A complaint about Packham’s comments was also made to Derbyshire Constabulary.

The complainant, a country sports enthusiast who wishes to remain anonymous, wrote to officers asking how the BBC presenter’s comments could be legal “given the recent spate of civil unrest which we have seen across the country” and those “inciting people to take direct action.”
A police spokesman said: “The video has been reviewed and no offences have been committed.

“Each incident that takes place is reviewed based on the language used as well as the specific set of circumstances in which the comments are made.
“In this instance, while there is legislation covering individuals encouraging or assisting a person or persons to cause serious harm to themselves, there is no suggestion that this is a serious attempt to influence anyone to commit any such acts.

“The words used in this instance do not reach the threshold for an offence and no action will be taken in relation to this incident.”

Wow..and he's head of the RSPCA? That's on a par with Trump telling us to drink bleach.

[avpinstarter]

Well thats very irresponsible of packham because someone will try what he suggested barclays customers do

[edmundblackaddercoc]

Don't like any of 'them' but, this guy😂

[Pureblood]

I’m sure Barclays shares will rise after his stunt, I can see the equivalent of a buycott coming on😂

[AntonyLD]

Not the biggest turnout for that gathering, bit like a Trump rally 🤣
