JohnfromUK Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 The real low is with the BBC keeping giving him 'air time' (and also lots of money!). Packham is known to have fairly extreme views - and has (by his own admission) mental health issues. Now I don't fully understand these things, but as I understand it from what I can read on 'serious' pages on the internet - some of the characteristics of his 'condition' (Aspergers syndrome) include being self centred, being obsessive about 'pet' subjects, difficulty managing emotions and ignoring other peoples views and opinions. These are not characteristics that align with the BBC's need to be impartial and unbiased, or those who are presenting a broad spectrum prime time TV programme on a national broadcaster channel.

Fisheruk Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Hardly a “New Low” he’s been down there a long time. He said that 8 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Although I cannot stand the man or Bill Oddie, I do agree with a lot of his comments in the article, apart from diverting cancer research funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Got to keep that profile in the spotlight. There’s no such thing as bad publicity. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontastic Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Having read the article I do agree with his comments about children playing. When I was young we would always play games in the local woods, now when out in the same woods with the dogs I never see children playing and just being children.

oldypigeonpopper Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Hello, if more people realise what he stands for ,wild life before people in this instance he and his gang would not get the publicity and money so many in UK give Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a different generation; they get their entertainment from different sources and they will probably outgrow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 He is what he is? Maybe he needs to be careful of what he wishes? As for the BBC, it needs putting to the market so that people are obliged to pay for their garbage? I wouldn't pay. I see that he along with others has a 7 year contract to roam the world causing the climate symptoms he rails against? How delightful?

Borris has put a shot across their bowl in regard to revenue but it should have been the DG wheeled in and TOLD in no uncertain terms about HOW the BBC WILL BE RUN. Then they should have to justify the money that they do get. Examples.... why do they have two lots of weather forecast, one after the other by different teams.? Why then after the national news do we get programs about local news. Most of it isn't news at all and the rest is yesterday's news rehashed about how some granny got splashed by a lorry. Why do they need tv teams and radio teams going to some place abroad to cover the same thing. A lot of it is just stirring the pot and hyping it up for the sake of a story.

Minky Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 I've come across that one. I replied "Yes, you're a grain of sand on the wind. Of no consequence whatsoever". They were a bit taken aback but still carried that arrogant I'm above all of you serfs attitude. !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
