Conor O'Gorman Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 The Welsh Government has withdrawn Covid-19 recovery grants to shooting businesses for being “related to blood sports”. This policy is being challenged by the shooting organisations.

twenty Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Hopefully, BASC, CA, NGO etc, can successfully overturn this policy........but Mark Drakeford and co are hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 I would expect BASC to take immediate legal action against this… whether they do or not remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob85 Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Because its related to blood sports.... because animals are harvested. Well in that case I hope they are refusing covid recovery grants to any business that slaughters animals or any business that deals with rat/insect infestations. Or how about refuse to pay grants to vets that sometimes have to put an animal down. Do they think just because we shoot that we are somehow worse than a factory farm slaughterhouse? Just another attack on the rural/shooting community and trying to score political points with the woke vegan scrotes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 I’m not really sure how a government can forego entitled revenue support to a totally legit’ business on the grounds of personal opinion. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8 shot Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 If the shooting organisations get involved in this i would expect all shooting in Wales banned by the end of the month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be held, I think, if and that's a big if, the blowhards at BASC take it to judicial review as "Wednesbury unreasonable". But given how BASC couldn't follow up their spaff and blather of Johnson like proportions over some police chiefs requiring 100% additional GP input on FAC/SGC renewal with a judicial review I wouldn't hold your breath.

greylag Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 The shooting community in Wales have a battle on their hands when dealing with any department of the Welsh government. From NRW,the minister Leslie Griffith's and the majority of the government would love to see all shooting stopped in the Principality,driven,wildfowling,any form of vermin control,crop protection etc etc. Drakeford and his team of far left wing reformers will make life more and more uncomfortable for us to pursue our way of life. Every certificate holder in Wales should contact their SMs ,MPs and the ministers in charge of the department's telling them what you think of their unfair and perhaps illegal treatment of the shooting industry. Don't hold out much hope of a joined up reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
