[paul&mandy]

Who else is struggling to read what he comes out with? finding having to hold myself back form smashing the laptop to pieces....

 

[Bury the Trash]

dont let it get to you ,because there s plenty more besides him - all this clever talking and incorrect/misleading/timewasting /money wasting academic sh!t they come out with,f**k them and the beavers

 

[ARW]

He is heading for a beating into reality, trouble is anyone worthy of educating him is to busy actually working rather than creating work by spouting crap

 

[paul&mandy]

Thats the trouble, they always seem to have the biggest say.

Couldn't have said it better myself. What do these idiots actually do for a living to have so much free time to come up with this drivel.

 

[Bury the Trash]

I posted on one of the other threads about him, I looked him up on Wiki and having read his cv and details including the fact that he had been declared clinically dead at one point, I do wonder if this has affected his brain in some way, such as removing the ability to accept an alternative view ? Have a look, you will be amazed.

He's a regular 'contributor' to the Guardian, where telling a left field version of events sells papers, and earns him a wage and an audience of equally deluded cockwombles.

As above and yes explains it all really. Id urge everyone to have a read.

Only thing that you achieve reading his sh!t is to send your blood pressure through the roof, just ignore the knob, he will be old news soon

Now an expert on flooding:

For an "unbiased" organisation the BBC gives a lot more coverage to his spoutings than the NFU.

Jeremy Corbyn got about 250k votes in the Labour Party leadership election, the Guardian sells about 185k copies per day. GM feeds into that demographic, which is utterly unrepresentative of the UK as a whole, but because the BBC is almost entirely staffed by people who read the Guardian and support the Labour party (and probably voted for JC, or are rather pleased he won), such views are given far greater coverage than their popularity with the public should demand. Over 4m people voted for Nigel Farage in 2015 but he and UKIP are portrayed by the BBC as something one might scrape off one's shoe.

Such is the nature of public discourse in the UK today.

i did think he might do us good, but then he did a article on why he hates farmers, so meh, if you're not going to be balanced, then you can do one in my eyes

he picks his words in a way to appeal to leftist trots, and then say he didn't mean that in his articles later on twitter

 

[CornishTone]

He's infiltrated the BBC now!

Didn't read all of it but it's obvious he has been a bit of a thrush all his life.

 

[Paddington]

Persona non grata in several countries according to Wiki, I wonder why ?

 

[Ley253]

fact remains that this creature is one of farmings greatest enemies. That being so, the NFU should be targeting his spoutings, but then they have yet to dispel the "never found useful" tag they seem to wear with pride!

 

[JP1]

To me it's very very simple; there's no effective counter argument. Period

Look back at the numerous GM threads on here and in particular the recent one with Meurig Raymond on the BBC R4 Today programme.

It's no good just calling him a cockwomble

It's no use MR going in halfcock and ignoring GM's carefully crafted soundbites and well referenced observations and just saying the best lamb and beef comes from the uplands (which is true) but doesn't neutralise the GM point about flooding being caused by sheep ravaged hills

In that BBC interview I consider the interviewer was desperate for a good quality debate and you could hear everyone just laughing at the "NFU" response. A cringeworthy performance that made all of us look thick. A previous Minette Batters badger debate had me shouting at the radio too; own goals united.

GM is like a Teflon coated, virtual marxist but he sets out his stall very well. Always publishes referenced articles, always asks in a debate for the other side to quote scientific references to substantiate their wild claims. SO WHY DON'T THEY !!! Any kid out of Uni who is a media trainer for the next Labour milk bottle in a suit would be able to brief their team , so why is it so difficult ?

For all his faults, they all respected Owen Paterson for being up to his brief and that's why it took the trolls a whole load of effort to discredit him with the "climate change denier" label that eventually did for him

@Old Tip will tell you GM is detested almost as much by the academic and research community
