Papercase Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 If you are on twitter he's worth following for GL updates https://twitter.com/wildforest_matt his blog is here. https://countrysidecontroversial.wordpress.com/2019/06/12/the-email/ Blub of the post - go on the blog to read the rest. Below is the text of an email sent by Chris Packham to the Vice Chancellor of Northampton University. I have verified that it is genuine. I am reproducing it without comment and I invite you to ask yourself what he was hoping to achieve by sending this email. Following the Email are the responses from the University and Dr Hills. For legal reasons I will not accept comments on this post. " TEXT IN LINK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 My loathing for CP grows every time he types or opens his mouth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh1 Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Just shows CP to be a sneaky and vindictive person, trying to damage a persons name and insinuate they should not be working for the university is a horrible thing to do and shows CP in his true form.

wymberley Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Sooner or later this man will implode. The interesting thing will be who gets sucked in. The DG of the BBC is now moaning that he found a recent decision difficult. Hang on, Tone, you're paid c£450k plus perks to make such decisions so stop complaining. But don't worry, a duff decision and misguided ongoing support of one particular man should ensure a period of gardening leave 'ere too long.

Papercase Posted June 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 So I'm going to put my head above the parapet here and ask am I the only one on here watching springwatch this year? I don't for a second agree with any of CP's movement or opinions - in fact they make my blood boil. However - I'm willing to look past him and enjoy the incredible filming that shows our amazing flora and fauna. Am i the only one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Its good to know there are those he doesn’t impress nor intimidate, but it’s almost two years ago, and judging from the responses it would seem his comments were taken with a pinch of salt, if not quite firmly dismissed.

The Mighty Prawn Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Just goes to show orgs shouldnt be afraid of him, rebut with logic and good grace and he goes off to find an easier victim - banging out an email is easy, debating with people who know their stuff is really hard!

hodge911 Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Numpty packham the "wildlife expert" 😂😱 needs to be taken down a peg or two (I.m.o) I think that that email and reply should be put into s tv program brodcast at peak times so that the unfortunate members of the general public can see his underhand methods of promoting his personal garbage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon controller Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 I've not watched Spring Watch but each time I see CP he seems to be in a new jacket with product names emblasend across it , sometimes five jackets in a programme. Other such presenters have tape placed over the logo or name. Any others noticed this or is it just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
