Pretty certain he doesn't actually work for the beeb.

So unfortunately they cant really sack him.

Stop using his boring footage yes , but then C4 would probably snap him up.

[greylag]

The self publicist that he is would love to think people were going to the trouble to start a petition to have him sacked from somewhere he doesn't even work ,

he's a freelancer.Best thing is to ignore the annoying little sod and give him no recognition at all.

[ShootingEgg]

He contracts, so beeb would just not hire him rather than him working for them to be sacked. Dropped from being used maybe but will never happen even though the new top boss said people had to impartial but then they have always had to be that soooo

[JohnfromUK]

There have been various previous petitions to have him removed/unhired - and the BBC are well aware of them ........... but did nothing.  The new BBC top man will certainly be aware of them.  Some collected really quite large numbers of signatures - but his supporters also organised petitions calling for him to be kept on .......... and of course with the huge LACS/WJ/RSPB/ALF lot - they got masses of signatures.

 Seems he is now grooming his step daughter for media work so even if he is removed his message will be getting through to his cult.

[manthing]

As he's not an employee of the beeb how can the sack him?

What they could do is nolonger require his services, but even with the new management that's probably not going to happen.

He needs to lamp someone for something trivial like a steak dinner to get dropped.

Interesting how he claims and says he's his step daughter. She's not! Never been married and she is the daughter of an exgirlfriend. How does that work?       NB

Think this as been going for over two years, doubt it will get much higher now.

p.s. I did sign it when it first came out.

He has thousands and thousands of adoring fans , who think he is a valiant warrior for the cause. The BBC, just provide the platform , to allow him to preach his gospel to his believers.  He is a very knowledgeable man , and is fully entitled to his opinion, however misguided we believe him to be. 

What's wrong is , the total absence, of an equal  platform for people of a contrary opinion .

He is a very knowledgeable man

Not sure about that. He has some knowledge, but as many have pointed out - in many respects, he hasn't a clue about what he is saying. There is his skewed view of the world and no room for any other.

May I respectfully  point out ,I am NO fan , however a Bachelors Degree in Zoology, has to be, and is recognized as  an achievement.

However, as you say, his application of such knowledge , pertinent to real life does leave much to be desired. 

[Westward]

There's no doubt he's an authority on British wildlife, especially birds, but I agree with Gordon. Being an expert on one topic doesn't qualify him to campaign against activities he doesn't fully understand such as fieldsports. Unfortunately he doesn't recognise his own limited knowledge of theses things and the BBC does nothing to rein him in - hence the petition. I think it's entirely likely that many of the urban based liberals who dominate the BBC share his uninformed views.

[ninjaferret]

I met him once he's not that knowledgeable but others around him are, they make the bullets.

Good news for us shooters, but thy will only try another avenue with someone else money.

I think the only way we can score points regarding CP, is his hypocrisy as a supporter of Extinction Rebellion and the way by which he makes his living by flying people out at great expense to join him on guided holidays at many long haul destinations.
I’ve no doubt in his head he can justify them, but they are in direct contradiction of much of what he claims to believe in. 

[Blackpowder]

Seemed to have signed several petitions to sack him but he is still there.
