In a slightly shocking move last week (though I am not easily shocked) Liz Truss (formerly of Defra) announced she was not taking any notice of the report of the Lead Ammunition Group report (now published in full). She announced this after sitting on the report for 14 months, on the day a PM resigned…

New M&S nonsense
M&S keep digging a hole of ignorance and you can hardly see the tops of their heads now. In their current stock answer to customers concerned about the origin and lead content of the grouse meat that they might or might not sell to the general public they have a new phrase ‘all M&S game…
M&S wavering
There is nothing but stubbornness stopping M&S from dumping grouse meat. They have dumped it in the previous two years – once for a good reason and once for a bad reason. Last year, they just used what looked like an excuse but in 2014 they said they wouldn’t sell grouse meat until they received…
M&S – signs of cracking?
There was a piece in yesterday’s Sunday Herald where Rob Edwards asked M&S whether they would answer any of the questions that we have been asking them – and they wouldn’t. M&S are getting it so, so, so wrong. If you started believing that they couldn’t be doing anything wrong in selling grouse meat you…
Truss misleads over waterfowl science
There is a very good article in today’s Times by Ben Webster with the headline ‘Lead ammunition to stay despite poisoning danger‘. Liz Truss, perhaps as one of her last acts, and indeed one of her first (as the least effective Environment Secretary ever), announced that people shooting birds for fun would not be required…
M&S in the news for planning to sell high-lead grouse meat
Chris Packham’s video which asks M&S not to sell grouse meat shot with lead in their stores, stating that he will boycott M&S if they do, and asking people to sign the petition to ban driven grouse shooting, has made the news. Perhaps for readers of this blog, the most interesting piece of the…
Truss knifes LAG report
Letter from Liz Truss to John Swift More on this tomorrow morning – when perhaps Liz Truss will be in a new job.
M&S – loss of trust
The handling of their grouse issue by M&S has been shabby – not what many of us would have expected from a formerly trusted store. Why do I say formerly trusted? Because I don’t trust them any more. Here’s why. M&S have not come clean on what they, and only they, describe as their industry-leading…
M&S in a mess
Have you seen the video by Chris Packham talking about grouse shooting and lead levels in shot grouse? Have a look. Many are asking questions of M&S ahead of their AGM tomorrow – so should shareholders and investors. Here are some questions: if M&S have an industry-leading Code of Practice for game meat – why…
Watch this Chris Packham video
If you have been following the M&S grouse story then you will be interested to see this video from Chris Packham on You tube. Looks like M&S has lost another customer… For new readers: M&S refuse to answer reasonable questions 8 July 2016 M&S AGM 4 July 2016 This is not just spin,…
