Chris Packham has gone too far in his war on the countryside. Time for the BBC to find a new wildlife presenter

Classic FM listeners regularly vote for Vaughan Williams’s masterpiece The Lark Ascending as their favourite piece of music. It touches us more than any other composition, perhaps because it mimics nature so closely, and the liquid exuberance of the lark’s singing, as he hovers above his nest, is for many of us the iconic sound of an English Spring.

LogicalLady2 Jamie_Blackett This coming from the . A paper that cannot be trusted to be in any way impartial. That says it all really.

Jamie_Blackett I am absolutely disgusted by this article and will be encouraging everyone I know to avoid your ‘news’ outlet unless a formal apology is made to ChrisGPackham who has received death threats due to your completely biased, inaccurate and unjust article.

Jamie_Blackett The bl

Jamie_Blackett he is a hero! i hope he does something about badger baiting now and the farmers who allow this cruelty on their land

Jamie_Blackett Don't talk such cr*p!

Jamie_Blackett Top bloke that Packham lad, using legal process to change things. Excellent!!

Jamie_Blackett So human beings should be allowed to destroy anything and everything which is a slight inconvenience ? The planet is heading for disaster because of your ignorance. What you need to be pressing for is control of the human population -that would sort out all major problems.

Jamie_Blackett He’s obviously doing his job then isn’t he, worth every penny I say! Go on Chris!!

SHIRLEYPARNELL Jamie_Blackett Bullying? Seems to me he is using his expertise to lobby for things he is passionate about. I'm not a fan because I dislike his presentation style, but I respect his right to stand up for what he thinks is right. FreeSpeechMatters

Jamie_Blackett How I long for a day when newspapers report the news accurately. No spin. Facts checked. No bias paid for by powerful lobby groups. This article is obviously so far off the mark. Some real investigative journalist should dig into this and reveal who’s behind this smear campaign.

Jamie_Blackett I think you mistook your terminology. It is a 'battle FOR the countryside', not a 'War ON the countryside!' As any ecologist/conservationist could advise you.

Jamie_Blackett We say the great green belt or country side ..but do everyone realise the fact the whole country GREA BRITAIN.. 90% was covered with trees..countryside what countryside ..farmers production factories more like...

Jamie_Blackett Bully the govenrnent agency? Exactly what do you think basc at al have been doing? What the grouse moor owners have been doing. Land owners trying to wreck our world to make money or titlilate their lust for 'sport. You can't even get your facts right.

Jamie_Blackett

Jamie_Blackett Oh dear Torygraph, your spouting of nonsense is really getting out of hand isn’t it! Why not support the vast majority of people in U.K. and be a force for good rather than joining the nasty abusers?

Jamie_Blackett The government shouldn't need to be told! The government, as shown lately, is a bunch of idiots, though. I'm Team Chris on this. They really do need to tighten up the licences instead of giving them to flipping idiots who don't respect wildlife!

Jamie_Blackett And you've studied the science have you?... No?... Thought not! The bird pictured is a Wood Lark NOT a Sky Lark.

Jamie_Blackett Gone too far By caring about wildlife and biodiversity. telegraph Jamie_Blackett You are the ones who have gotten it very wrong. We are with you ChrisGPackham

Jamie_Blackett sack him

Jamie_Blackett Bullshit

Jamie_Blackett

Jamie_Blackett

Jamie_Blackett Not Lineker again is it? Misusing power and birds, got to be him..

Jamie_Blackett Untrue Jamie_Blackett - you can still get a specific licence to control those species so where is the problem?

Jamie_Blackett The Telegraph has gone too far this time in criticising our own Greta Thunberg! Chris Packham is THE most respected environmenalist we have. Time to stopbuyingtheTelegraph because it has lost the plot!

Jamie_Blackett The telegraph is not a newspaper.

Jamie_Blackett More squawk, squawk than splutter splutter from your scurrilous rag today then!

Jamie_Blackett I support him 100%. The Government agencies are not following their own raisin d’etre.

Jamie_Blackett Truly shameful writing. Pushing the illegal agenda of landed gentry because all they care about is their grouse moors.

Jamie_Blackett What nonsense Jamie_Blackett. What has 'highly paid' got to do with this subject? How can it be that a person who is employed to broadcast on the natural world cannot state views on damage being caused to it. You are clearly abusing your 'power' as an 'unbiased' journalist.

Jamie_Blackett Great comments here reflecting my thoughts of The Telegraph as sooo out of touch, right wing and old fashioned.

Jamie_Blackett Terrible article. 1/10 wouldn’t recommend.

Jamie_Blackett Says a national newspaper using its position to smear a man. The hypocrisy makes me feel sick.

Jamie_Blackett Do you intend to now run stories everytime a criminal is taken to court for breaking the law and then claim they are being bullied?

Jamie_Blackett What a ridiculous things to say. I’m getting fed up with people who are unable to debate with differing ideals. Have you actually watched him on the wildlife programs, or are you just against his outside work interest. Do you feel the same about Sur David Attenborough?

Jamie_Blackett When my Grandmother ran out of toilet paper she would cut newspaper into strips. Recycling ClimateCatastrophe GreenNewDeal SaturdayThoughts

Jamie_Blackett Chris Packham is not ‘against’ the countryside.

Jamie_Blackett The BBC should be abolished

Jamie_Blackett How does a legal challenge make someone a 'bully'? Did he use his BBC platform to gain support for the legal challenge? I believe the vast majority of people in countryside hate to see wildlife being unnecessarily killed so the 'his war on the countryside' comment is ridiculous.

Jamie_Blackett Any condemnation of the hanging of dead Jackdaws on ChrisGPackham´s gate?...Or are you going to just slide past blatant intimidation and threats?

Jamie_Blackett The state broadcaster you are referring to abuses its power daily, as does this excuse of a newspaper!!

Jamie_Blackett Greta Thunberg = Autistic Environmental Campaigner Chris Packham = Autistic Environmental Campaigner Hostile Right Wing Media:

Jamie_Blackett It’s bizarre just how out-of-touch this newspaper has become from the realities of life in Britain. I know it’s just a mouth-piece now for the far right, but it’s quite sad in a way to see a once great newspaper now appear more like a senile drunk old uncle mumbling to himself.

Jamie_Blackett He’s employed by the BBC. BECAUSE of his vast experience and knowledge of wildlife. His salary reflects this.

Jamie_Blackett At last, something worth paying the license fee for!

Jamie_Blackett Still lusting after blood Tarquin? No living foxes to have a pack of hounds tear into shreds of bleeding flesh? No birds to disintegrate into red mist with a 13 bore? You need immediate psychiatric care. Section yourself now.

Jamie_Blackett Telegraph always been in favour of hunting spouting puerile and dodgy arguments. Clearly their journalists are way more understanding of nature and the animal kingdom than Chris Packham. Look out for a Telegraph journalist on the new series of Springwatch for in depth analysis

Jamie_Blackett Simply untrue. It was pointed out that the 'general licences' to kill birds were unlawful. NaturalEngland must have agreed, as they withdrew them. All it means is that if you want to kill these species now, you have to justify it. Seems pretty reasonable.

Jamie_Blackett This article is possibly the worst piece of journalism i have ever come across. Its all opinion and no actual fact. Do some research . Your other article on Tony Juniper is also baseless.

Jamie_Blackett How on earth is it bullying, why don't you call the people who troll him , vandalise his property and leave dead animals out for hum bullies?

Jamie_Blackett Leave Chris alone, he’s a national treasure with lots of followers. Not good for your newspaper.

Jamie_Blackett Hasn't David Attenborough just done a film on climate change which is now being used and quoted? What's the difference? Normal people don't go around shooting birds anyway! Our wildlife is precious there is absolutely nothing wrong with what he has done.

Jamie_Blackett You really are scraping the barrel - again

Jamie_Blackett Their not my state broadcaster. They are the EU’s.

Jamie_Blackett Another bottom-scraping piece of bilge from the Torygraph, penned by a harmer. The ones waging a WAR on our countryside are the bloodsports psychos + their lackeys - trapping, poisoning, baiting, torturing animals + hanging dead birds on an environmentalist's gate! Shame on you.

Jamie_Blackett It was a legal challenge. If there was no basis to it, the judgement would have been different

Jamie_Blackett BBC ARE AS CORRUPT AS TORIES

Jamie_Blackett Or maybe he just wants to protect wildlife 🤷‍♂️

Jamie_Blackett Gone too far? How dare he care about our wildlife? How VERY dare he?! 😂 P.S. no one said corvids can never again be shot; just not without licence. No excuse whatsoever for shooting Jays though. They aren't as common as Carrion Crows and Rooks, and don't affect farming.

Jamie_Blackett It’s not so much that CP has gone too far, it is that some soft-headed government agency has given in to his pressure.

Jamie_Blackett He hasn't gone far enough.

Jamie_Blackett Sack him, close down the BBC by removing their charter!

Jamie_Blackett Clearly there is an end of month prize for whomever can be the nastiest bastard posing as a journalist at the Telegraph. Bile levels rising.

Jamie_Blackett Thought you right wingers were tough guys? You keep making out you are. At the latest count you’ve been bullied by the EU, a 16 year old Swedish girl, and a nature programme presenter. The world quakes at your might. Kim Jong-un must be terrifies

Jamie_Blackett I can't read the fekkin article so can't comment.

Jamie_Blackett BBC= British Biased Commentary

Jamie_Blackett Chris Packham is a first-rate c*nt

Jamie_Blackett Is a legal challenge bullying now?

Jamie_Blackett One conservationist can bully an entire Government agency, sure 🙄
