Chris is not afraid of pointing out these inconsistencies , and exposing the discrepancies from any groups . Thank goodness we have someone like him . Trouble is , the RSPB and other Charities have to make lots of money , and sometimes we find that they turn a blind eye as to how they make it

I'm glad we have someone like Chris Packham too. Thank goodness most of my camera equipment is Canon though, I wouldn't fancy the idea of parting with it. |

He has always been very vocal Jen and passionate about what he believes to be right or wrong, admirable in many ways. I know what you mean Ann. |

I always have a soft spot for Chris Packham, I enjoy his broadcasts. Like Ann, I am a Cannon man, my binoculars are Zeiss, though, but they were bought in East Germany about 40 years ago. |

I do not agree with his views on cancer though, ok I am well aware autism causes one to be outspoken as I have family members whom suffer from it but there is a great deal of difference between being out spoken and plain stupidity. My wife was lucky enough to beat cancer a few years ago but rest assured she along with many others would not be here today if it was not for cancer research. His views on children lighting fires in the woods is not very well thought out either as my wood and house narrowly missed being burnt down by two children playing with fire, or I should I agree with Mr Packham too and say there are too many organisms / people in the world. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2633631/Stop-spending-money-chasing-cures-cancer-spend-helping-wildlife-instead-says-BBCs-Chris-Packham.html |
