There’s a difference. As I’ve already said, he’s sailing pretty close to the edge, but he hasn’t gone as far as incitement as yet. Hopefully he will pretty soon. His comparisons regarding suffragettes and apartheid are wrong; both were about equality of human rights, climate change isn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they see it as a rubber stamp then that’s their interpretation. Unless he incites or condones it then he’s in the clear, and he knows it. He’s playing a dangerous game ( and I strongly believe he has the ego to believe he’s a ‘messiah’ of sorts ) but he knows that unless he crosses that line then he’s innocent. I too can understand why folk break the law at times, but do I condone it? 🤷♂️ Edited September 20, 2023 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He asked Packham if he was prepared to be indited for incitement for his comments to be seen tonight. He also said C4 was keeping tonight's episode close to the chest and refusing to allow previews or comments despite presenters having previewed it. I'll not be watching tonight mainly cos it's long after my bedtime and cos I'd not give him the satisfaction of viewing figures which is what he's after. No doubt anything radical will be in the news tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he has got himself into serious trouble, but hopefully he will before too long, and if he does, like you say I’ll hear about it elsewhere.

Miserableolgit Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Well, I have been given leave to watch CP's programme as long as I agree to hold back any urge to swear and / or hurl things at the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditchman Posted September 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 just about had enough of it now.............THIS IS CLEARLY A PROGRAMME DESIGNED TO RECRUIT EC-TERRORISTS TO THE CAUSE AND GIVE THEM THE GREEN LIGHT TO "GO-HARDER" i really think that the BBC should dump him now hook line and sinker....if they dont....they will be activly supporting his agenda.....

Miserableolgit Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 The TV survived. The only time dedicated to countering CP's narrative was his all too brief segment devoted to him posing a few points to Peter Lilley. Sadly Lilley was not granted the courtesy of responding without video overviews [ of forest fires for example] and CP's post interview comments. Disappointing but hardly surprising. I felt the close up's at the end of CP's deep contemplation about his own predicament regarding direct action was pure hamming it up for the camera. I found the whole production rather disturbing and presumably not in the way CP intends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adzyvilla Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 My non shooting non country pal watched it and his main takeaway was that packham is an even bigger knob than he thought. This from a guy who watches springwatch etc. Maybe it hasn't done CP any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest thing I took from it was that if you want to protest legally and non violently then he will support you. He is still considering his own actions going forward. Means he will not bite the hands that feed him. That interview outside the prison slightly confused me as when he described the conditions inside he described an actual prison 🤦🏻♂️ I didn’t think he was sailing close to the wind. He knew he wasn’t going to do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
