lurcherboy Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 The article i complained about made it into the shooting times last week in their biteback columnIt also annoyed alasdair mitchell who writes for the shooting times but i find his response to it, well......a bit typical really He says it should be laughed off! This started me thinking,wouldnt we all feel a bit better about paying our subscription money to basc,ca... etc etc if they took the time to respond to press articles like this and actually stood up for our sport? Imo it would be great pr for whatever organisation.......When was the last time you seen anything from these organisations in the mainstream press? It seems they do lots of preaching to the converted but very little to stand up for us in the public domain. BASC members will get advice on how to respond to articles like you spotted but I don't know about the other organisations. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbart Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 What i actually mean is basc themselves to reply. I know basc,CA do a lot of work behind the scenes but thats just it....its behind the scenes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashcmt Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 i very much agree to basc and the other organisations making mainstream replies to this type of rubbish. very well done fot standing up and shouting mate. coming at it from another perspective, do you reckon maybe basc and the others dont appear mainstream more often, as a damage limitation method, my thinking being the less people that know about it, the less people to become/be antis. just a thought. i personally think that the more you know about something, the better balanced opinion you will have.

Cranfield Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 You can't expect the BASC to see every news article, or letter in every small regional newspaper. If you report the letter/article to them, they will either respond, or help you produce a response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know coming from kent you think that newcastle is a small village just south of scotland,but the circulation of the paper is well over 1million a week (at least according to their website,260,000 adults a day read it)so i hardly think it is small.And arent basc supposed to represent all of the uk?
