I am a BBC Radio4 addict. I find it difficult not to listen to Today, the World at One and PM through the day even when they are filled with irritating bits! I have many other favourite programmes and I even listen to Woman’s Hour quite often, but you can hear enough of female genital…
Les Wallace – congratulations!
Congratulations! And well done, Les Wallace! You have triggered a response from Defra. More on this tomorrow. Night night all!
Today
Today I am going for a drive, going for a walk, going for a drive, giving a talk, going for a drive. I think I will pass through six counties, but it might be more. I think I will leave home before 8am and get home after 10pm. I think I might see some Marsh…
Another nail
River – a female Hen Harrier fledged in Bowland in 2018. Photo: RSPB The loss of yet another Hen Harrier is another nail in driven grouse shooting’s coffin.

It seems unlikely that TM the PM will win her vote. But if she does we…
EDM #1963
Early Day Motions are used to highlight issues. Well done to Caroline Lucas and her four cosignatories for raising the issue of lead ammunition in this way. The text of their EDM is as follows: That this House notes that even low levels of lead are toxic to humans and other animals and that in…
You reckon?
RaptorPersecutionUK wrote about this letter in the Shooting Gazette recently (see here). Mr Davis’s main point, that shooting organisations need to get together and make a plan of attack (an interesting choice of words), just isn’t going to happen any more than it does at the moment. I’d say that the shooting organisations do quite…
