Pottering. Wading. Harvesting. Roughshooting for the pot. BRFC. Views my own. Surprisingly, left of centre.

@RabbleChorus @jcjeremyhobson Those woods that the Victorians planted for pheasants and which people continue to plant and manage (rotationally thin/coppice) for pheasants sure are an absolute disaster for UK ecology!

@AnonEtc @1GarethWynJones @BenGoldsmith I suspect Gareth has to work hard to squeeze a living out of his inherited land just like his forefathers. Goldsmith could put his inheritance (ironically in part from Supermarkets) in the local post office low interest account &never have to work a day in his life.

@1GarethWynJones @BenGoldsmith Ben inherited £280 million from his Dad according to Wiki. He can probably look at such things with dispassion and blinkered idealism, safe in the knowledge that enforced change always starts with the little man.

@TrooperSnooks Hasn’t been swept of chippings yet by the look of it?

@OldLodskins @natalieben @ProtectTheWild_ @EndBirdShooting @AnimalAid @LeagueACS Fyi I play music, take photos and have friends. Also I’ve a freezer full of wild meat that didn’t suffer unduly in death and came from an environment I and others work to improve.

@OldLodskins @natalieben @ProtectTheWild_ @EndBirdShooting @AnimalAid @LeagueACS People don’t kill for enjoyment. They hunt for enjoyment. Come back to me when you understand this nuance.

Evolution of human brain to what it is now was aided by increased protein intake beyond that of ape ancestors. No suggestion that a current veg’tian has less brain power.

[Chris @ChrisTroutFly]

@OldLodskins @natalieben @ProtectTheWild_ @EndBirdShooting @AnimalAid @LeagueACS Can’t eat a photo though. Nor could humans evolve a brain big enough to invent photography without protein, that they hunted. Enjoying themselves made them better hunters, and prey don’t care a jot about motivation.

@natalieben @ProtectTheWild_ @EndBirdShooting @AnimalAid @LeagueACS You do realise some of us hunt our own food in a way that is ethically & sustainably more advanced than the majority and on more than one day a year don’t you? Something that’s been done since before humans existed. It’s just that now we impose rules on ourselves; hence sport.

@caniaffoirdit @BenGoldsmith World wants to eat.

[Chris @ChrisTroutFly]

@BenGoldsmith @holnicoteNH All things considered the answer lies somewhere between the shit the Daily Mail spouts and the shit Ben Goldsmith spouts.

[Chris @ChrisTroutFly]

@dave43law @DailyMail Revealed: @DailyMail is wank.

@Haggis_UK I’ll scream and I’ll scream…..

@TrooperSnooks Last week rainbows, before that bean curd, this week lanyards. I wonder what next in the list of things destroying society as we know it?

[Chris @ChrisTroutFly]

@TrooperSnooks Usual puff piece trying to generate some anger against anything with a whiff of “the left”.

[Chris @ChrisTroutFly]

@Dowellenough @BenGoldsmith Sorry, I’m reading a good book at the moment, so I’m a bit tied up.

[Chris @ChrisTroutFly]

@Dowellenough @BenGoldsmith The post-ice age human free wildwood = myth.

@jeremyideal @SJP74 @LBC Guido mask, you’re original and edgy. What a guy lol.

[Chris @ChrisTroutFly]

Leave the fires alone fire-fighters, nature coped perfectly well for millions of years without humans interfering; said no re-wilder ever.
