Mr Grayling's amendment would add hedgehogs the list of protected animals under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.
"It is Britain's favourite animal, its numbers are declining and it should be as well protected as any other popular but threatened British animal." It added that ministers were "ambitious" to "drive a world-leading programme of environmental reform".
He couldn't save the probation service and I doubt he will save the Hedgehogs either! FailingGrayling
Oh no failing Grayling I know a lot of people more suitable for this.
I'm glad I'm not an hedgehog, bet Sonic is mortified!
Then hedgehogs are doomed
RIP the hedgehogs
This will be a prickly issue to resolve
Well that's hedgehogs fucked. He'll end up giving money to companies to arm badgers or something
The death knell for hedgehogs if ever there was one.
Poor hedgehogs. RIP.
One good prick deserves another...
For once, he has a point
Given Grayling's track record, that's hedgehogs extinct.
We're slaughtering badgers by the thousand because of scientifically disproven claims that they 'cause' TB in cattle. The govt approves this. I'm surprised they aren't advocating shooting hedgehogs and torpedoing otters whilst shouting 'Tally Ho!' ToryIncompetence
steve_hawkes Well, that’s curtains for hedgehogs then......
They’re fucked then
One of the few jobs that he couldn't make a worse fist of than the present state of play.
Well that's the poor hedgehogs fucked 😪
Need tunnels under roads and ban mealworms!
Well he has done more for hedge hogs than he ever did as Transport Minister
He might get it right this time
GraemeBandeira Absolute joke. Chris Grayling? Former transport minister, who approved road building how many hogs killed on the road. HS2 ripped through habitat for hedgehogs & many other species. As for property developers their 'surveys' often ignore wildlife, remember nets on hedges?
Prickly subject
Poor hedgehogs
RIP hedgehogs
Chris Grayling has gone from Transport Secretary to Hedgehog Secretary. If he fucks this up like he did the last job there’s pretty much nowhere else for him to go is there. Skybet - can you give me odds on Hedgehogs being extinct within 2 years?
If Chris Grayling is involved hedgehogs are fucked. failinggrayling
Every hedgehog right now
Bloody hell that's all they need. Can't someone else be found this is serious
This is the same Mr Grayiling who destroyed transport poor hedgehog
Chris Grayling, it's remarkably straightforward; remove badgers' protected species status.
I've always loved hedgehogs but if Chris Grayling is putting hi name to them I just can't look at them in the same way
The nail in the coffin for the poor bastards.
The hedgehog spokesperson right now.... 'we had a good run, but all things come to an end...'
I'll just leave this here...
I bet the hedgehogs are crapping themselves knowing Grayling’s in charge of their survival.
I was going to say something positive about this amendment to the Environment Bill receiving support from Conservative and Labour MPs, but I think I'll just make the hedgehogs-will-be-extinct-soon remark everyone else is making.
Oh dear god. The one man who while trying to save the hedgehog end up killing not only all the hedgehogs but all of the stoats and housemartens.
“Leads charge” Have a fucking word will ya- what are they? on mounted fucking horseback?
I can't believe out of all the MPs we have Grayling is the one to lead the charge! For the sake of hedgehogs, some please take over from him.
Did not have that on my bingo card
The UK. Where hedgehogs are viewed more favourably than disadvantaged children.
If he’s in charge the hedgehodog is doomed.
prayforthehedgehogs at this difficult time chrisgrayling
Poor hedgehogs. Has Grayling found something he can make a success of? Let’s hope so for their sakes!
Keep up - as of last night the EnvironmentBill has been kicked to the kerb once more. Please investigate why.
That's the end of hedgehogs then?
what odds on him F*cking this up as well?
What have hedgehogs ever done to deserve this?
Hedgehogs really are f**ked now!
What have the hedgehogs done to deserve Grayling?
Jesus this is North Korean title.
How unfortunate.
the gang reacts to the news
Failing Grayling stars again !! Why don't theses politicians just retire gracefully into the wasteland. Craving attention just becomes boring - nobody cares!
Feel sorry for the hedgehogs
Poor hedgehogs, they're done for. FailingGrayling has the reverse midas touch. Everything he touches turns to 💩
I somehow don’t fancy his chances...
Could we just stop building on their habitats? This would help.
Stop deflecting from the bad stories, mps save hedgehogs but over 1000 deaths due to covid. Good of the mps, not!
Minister for Hedgehogs! That's another specie extinct then
The badgers have killed off most of ours. Their survival rate seems higher in towns now.
martin_oxley That'll be the extinction of hedgehogs then.
Thanks for that
More innocent victims for Patel's bucket!
AirportWatch With his record that’s nothing short of a death knell
We'll never see another one again.
Ooooo get everyone talking about an emotive subject about spiky little cute things and hopefully they’ll forget about the EU, vaccines, lockdowns, hosp admissions, the R rate, side effects, and we can slyly cover some more ‘shitty conservatives’ news elsewhere! Just plant hedges!
So I guess he'll sell the hedgehog-saving contract for £millions to a mate whose main experience with hedgehogs is running them over in their Land Rover
That’s hedgehogs fucked then.
So long hedgehogs. It was a blast.
priorities
If failing Grayling is involved they are doomed.
That’s the hedgehogs buggered, then.
ToryLies ToryScum
Chris grayling saving them!? They better be worried
Well that’s the end of hedge hogs then..mrjamesob
fozia4 Certain extinction if Failing Galrayling is involved. RIP hedgehogs! 😢
Oh dear, in that case they’ll be extinct by the end of the year.
Well that’s that fucked then
Oh gods! That's them doomed then, if Failing Grayling is on the case.
Those poor things, they were already in trouble, now they don’t stand a chance
That’s them extinct by Christmas.
prayforhedgehogs
Someone ought to point out to Grayling that when you carry out a hedgehog survey you don't use radar. What next bat detectors to spot Russian subs?
Doomed to fail then
They’ll all be dead within a week then
Haven’t the hedgehogs got enough to deal with?!
That’s hedgehogs heading for extinction then!
Dim prick threatens prickles with rescue package.
While slaughtering badgers when even farmers say no change since the cull, TB still transmitting yet still they carry on, then watching hounds ripping foxes to bits after they’ve blocked up their den, hope these Hedgehogs don’t do anything to offend a Tory or they’re done for.
That'll be the end of them then!
Are we really sure we want Grayling anywhere near this laudable project?
If it's going to be as weak as any of the other environmental laws that don't ever seen to stop developers or councils ( here's looking at you EastSuffolk eastsuffolkplan ! 👈 ) then it's hardly going to be worth the effort....
They're doomed now. May as well throw them all under a non existent train.
Poor hedgehogs 🦔!
That's them doomed then.
One for MattChorley
Grayling couldnt manage the railways so not a chance of saving hedgehogs.
Hedgehogs after 1 day of Chris Grayling’s help
Poor things. They've had it then ☹️
“Charge”?
So they’re absolutely screwed then
If he’s leading - I fear they might become extinct!!!
One of them doing something to help our struggling wildlife let’s hope some more catch the bug
Any MPs out there leading a charge to save the bbc DefundTheBBC
That's them fucked then.
well thats hedgehogs doomed then
Haven’t the hedgehogs suffered enough? 😮
Well that’s the poor little buggers doomed, should we sort a sanctuary for the remaining few?
Poor little sods, a prick to save a prick 🙄
Why is he saving a Russian hedgehog?
If hedgehogs could speak. “We don’t need you, you terrify us”.
Looks like the hedgehogs are f****d.
About time ! save’s so many volunteers that are doing all the hard work for these beautiful creatures.
RIP hedgehogs
Badgers? Which the government is leading a massive extermination programme of?
post_liberal Oh those poor hedgehogs
They’re doomed then
he's probably just typed hedge funds wrong
Rip Sonic
There’ll all be dead by the end of the week
Well that's the hedgehogs f***ed then
Dinsdale
Yep, say good bye, they're totally fucked.
What protection? At the rate badgers are being killed wrongly accused of spreading BTb, they will be extinct!
They're fucked. An absolute arse of a man.
Well, if he's in charge...that's a lot of dead hedgehogs.
Dear Lord!!! Why, not the hedgehogs for goodness sack!
Terrible news.
Oh no.
