Can this be forwarded to Piers Morgan and Clarkson? They seem to be the only ones with the balls to tackle him on such hypocrisy.I saw this was reposted on twitter today.
Seriusly ,the best way try and do that is look up Clarkson and Piers Morgan contact which will more than lightly be their agent and send it to them.Can this be forwarded to Piers Morgan and Clarkson? They seem to be the only ones with the balls to tackle him on such hypocrisy.
I quite agree, but the reasons I haven’t tried contacting either directly is that I don’t do twatter or faceache. More importantly, I think there would be more chance of getting through to the individuals I’ve mentioned if it were to come from the TFF collective rather than an individual.Seriusly ,the best way try and do that is look up Clarkson and Piers Morgan contact which will more than lightly be their agent and send it to them.
In the past I have sent an email to Chris Packhams agent ,asking him to forward it on to Chris Packham. His agent did actually reply and said he had sent the email on to Packham.
I can assure you that these high profile people have other folk managing their Twitter accounts, they are not sat there all day reading Tweets.
I am not on Facebook or twitter my self, hence the reason why I emailed the agents.I quite agree, but the reasons I haven’t tried contacting either directly is that I don’t do twatter or faceache.

Fair enough. If the like of @Chris F isn’t able to contact them on our behalf, I’ll have a go.I am not on Facebook or twitter my self, hence the reason why I emailed the agents.

Chris Packham has been banned from the Game Fair, one of the biggest shooting industry events in the UK, as organisers accuse him of using his BBC platform to "misrepresent shooting".
The Springwatch presenter said he was aggrieved to have been labeled an "extremist" by the British Association of Shooting and Conservation (BASC), and added that he was planning to attend to hear arguments in favour of shooting from those involved in field sports.
However, BASC has argued that the animal rights activist is currently working on a Panorama film, and there are worries he was attending the show undercover to "create propaganda".
Chris Packham has previously had to apologise to gamekeepers for accusing them of shooting lapwings, which is a protected bird and is not shot in this country.
BASC spokesperson Garry Doolan said: “Charlie Jacoby, of Fieldsports TV, has said he believes that Chris Packham is involved in a BBC Panorama programme called something like ‘Slaughter on the Grouse Moors’. To that end, it’s safe to assume Packham was coming to the Game Fair for propaganda purposes, not for balanced debate.”
A BBC spokesperson said: “This is simply not true. Chris was not attending this event in any BBC capacity whatsoever.”
A BASC spokesperson added: “It is right that The Game Fair does not give a platform for an extremist like Chris Packham to air his anti-shooting views. Mr Packham uses his celebrity status granted to him by his position with the BBC to misrepresent the facts about shooting and its clear value to the environment and conservation. The Game Fair is about celebrating the people who live and work in the countryside and continued polarisation of the debate by Mr Packham and others is of no benefit in this or any other medium.”
Chris Packham responded, labelling this "a triumph of predictably poisonous prose" and added that the game industry is "scared of the truths about illegal and unsustainable shooting".
He added: "This is disappointing...I was quite looking forward to a bit of robust debate there.
"I think it's because they're terrified of the truth being told on their own patch, and they keep being found out."
Former RSPB chief Mark Avery runs animal rights campaign group Wild Justice with Chris Packham, and he has also been banned from the event, held at Hatfield House.
He said: "Dear BASC, you've been very rude & unfair to my friend and colleague Chris Packham.
"You should be ashamed. May I just check that you are calling me an extremist too? On what grounds? Why are my moderate views not welcome at the Game Fair?"

Here’s a report I’ve had from the @TheGameFair ‘debate’ (sic) with @skylarkwarrior @AndrewGilruth & #youforgotthebirds Ian Gregory . ‘No facts . Just four old blokes making personal attacks on people . . . plenty of spare seats . . . at least you would have filled the tent’
