Defra aka #Deathra is totally unfit for purpose - as we head towards a General Election in 2024 we must demand a full, independent #PublicInquiry into the corruption, collsion & contemptible incompetence within this miserably failed Tory government department - please contact your prospective Parliamentary candidates in your local constituency &/or your sitting MP asap in the New Year. Together, we can facilitate transformative change for the better - Let's Ban ALL shooting bloodsports, REALLY End hunting & the senseless slaughter of badgers.

I really really hate this government. And the party as a whole.

And I really hate DEFRA. Their blatant refusal and disrespect for anyone with an opposing opinion has resulted in the disgusting murder of badgers, and let's not forget the murder of Geronimo the alpaca.

It's bad enough that Sunak has watered down any environmental plans he may have had, but to also employ these 2 soulless monsters to look after our wildlife just leaves me cold.

And he calls himself a devout Hindu!!!

And let's not forget the useless, idle and unpleasant former minister running DEFRA.

Useless Eustice or Sloppy Coffey?

The only devotion you can apportion to Slimy Sunak is his worship of money.

It makes my blood boil, when I keep read stories of how these a....holes with tags like "Game and wildlife CONSERVATION" or as the U.S. they are employed by "Parks" are the ones that promote these culls, trophy hunting etc, in the most heinous ways like traps and poisons. They have no respect what so ever for any form of wildlife. They only want their targets to be saved from raptors , so there will be more for them to kill. We need to strip these losers of their titles.

Another great piece, Eliza, on the dismal state of wildlife regulatory control in England with yet more cronyism at the heart of this Tory government. Once, not that long ago the Tory party broadly represented enterprise and the rule of law. Now it’s just a vehicle for elite ‘Cavaliers’ to get richer and have a good time while the rest of us ‘Roundheads’ struggle and fret.

Time for another revolution I’d say. Nothing less will make any difference - and certainly not the ‘wannabe Tories’ under Starmer. And with the shooter-haters setting up their own political party - Rural Reaction - the time has never been riper. (A piece on that too please Eliza 😊)

We owe it to the environment and the wildlife. And each other.

David I must reply to the scurrilous description of the membership of the Labour Party.

I believe firmly that the vast majority of them are TOTALLY opposed to blood sports and trophy hunting including the shooting of estate birds and the poor Badger.

Quite what Starmer supports I don't know but I bet all my pensions that Mr. Corbyn doesn't.

Both these charlatans are ardent supporters of brutalities and barbarities against the welfare of natures creatures and our planet. Only a dictatorship and or an extreme right wing structure would tolerate such low life in the upper echelons of power.

What a load of shit!. This country is fucked, like our wildlife and so called government. It’s all bent, conservative and labour, it’s not what you know but who you give a backhander to.

Conflict of interest has gotta be the understatement of the year!!!. Bent!

If some of the things I have read about the Governments proposed new laws if they get in again (God forbid) are true we will be in a Dictatorship. I do not think Labour is any better. They all lie and when they get elected perform U-turns or simply ignore their promises. Are the Liberals or Greens any better?
