Channel 4 CHris Packham Is it time to break the law?

He doesn’t need to debate his own view in public. People normally decide for themselves if they want to protest about something. Anyway, it doesn’t really matter, it was just a television programme made to entertain people.

Franbern The Slow marchers ALWAYS allow public transport (buses), and Emergency Vehicles to pass them.

I'm not sure this is true.

No it isn't true.

It is - don’t believe the myths put out.

It is absolutely true that Ambulances are let through, plus Police cars with flashing lights ( or even a toot on the horn) when XR activists are demonstrating.

I Can’t/won’t tell you how I know though……

I don’t have any knowledge about any other protesters.

I can't stand to watch him or listen to him.

Well don't then. It's not compulsory.

Ouch henetha. That was a tad sharp.

freya just for you to get facts correct. The Slow marchers ALWAYS allow publi transport (buses), and Emergency Vehicles to pass them. NOBODY has died due to these demonstrations. However, millions will die due to to climate change.

The impression he gave me was that he was more 'sad' than anything else at the rather silly, very nasty things on twitter. Fortunate he is not female, as those horrible peopl wold have made even worse comments!!!

At no point did he incite violence.

Most big changes to society have come about due to people taking effecfive action, sometimes een violent actions. Ghandi may have 'sat' his way to his country's freedom, but the Chartists had to march and take direct action, Trade Unions did not get their recognition via 'lobbying'. THe vote for Women was fought for through both violent and non-violent actions (most of the violent ones being on the part of The State).

Cannot see how anyone could call Chris Packham any sort of Hypocrite - exactly the opposite to me.

He did by suggestion. What a patronising piece. See October 2022 for deaths caused by actions of stop oil. Good bye on this note.

Because of his autism, Chris Packham finds it difficult to tolerate any one else's point of view other than his own. Acceptable in private life, but as a broadcaster, particularly for the BBC, he should remain impartial.
Actually, I don't consider him a good presenter; he never knows when to change course, and no awareness of listeners' boredom thresholds.
And no , it is not acceptable for Gary Lineker to promote his person political views, but he is a footballer awarded (not earning) obscene amounts of money, therefore apparently untouchable.

I’ve read that he and Greta Thunberg both have autism which explains a lot.They will see things more in black and white with no grey areas and have narrow views and strong feelings.
Both will feel tortured on this subject.

I think we need someone exactly like Chris Packham. He's not afraid of calling people out on their hypocrisy and greed, and I think it tells it as it is. Good for him having strong feelings on nature, wildlife, etc. I hope he carries on sticking up for environment.

I don't like his presentation style at all. Spring Watch always made me cringe with it's Playschool-like delivery, but on his own, Chris Packham is great. And 'Mother Nature' needs him and people like him.

Sorry, 'Think he tells it as it is'.

Whoops! Yes, maybe it was. Sorry. Not like me. Must have had an off day!!
