Conservations crime is challenging the hereditary, challenging landowners, they will not rest until modernity is undone, the old order restored. They decide how many birds of prey live, not us, they use the world as they want. Not rich, then you have no voice.

They are the experts, according to a keeper conservationists are bigots, hollow, hypocrites. Just dwell on that, according to a keeper. Twitter is a platform on which anonymous people can make claims, tell us they are a life long naturalist.

Watch these people for a time their technique becomes clear, they pretend reasonable debate, twist and have no honesty. They confuse, drag in unrelated false equivalents. They strive to make all morally grey. They tell you to prove the impossible but offer no evidence themselves.

It soon turns into aggression, accusation, and then it appears Chris Packham is behind it for cash!

Years of persecution, falcon thefts all discounted as the work of a few unknowns. Some genuine people do come forward, but others are a smoke screen for criminals.

No real debate exists as they do not believe a role exists for us, they know it all. Kill corvids, less raptors, a bit of a game strip and all will be well. The deep lack of understanding they have is horrific.

They accuse us of having favoured creatures when all they know are a few bits of nature, some birds, mammals, a few flowers and butterflies. They are oblivious to rich habitat, complex ecology, most of life.

Yes it will all be alright if 50 million pheasants, thousands of tons of grain, some game strips devoid of wild weeds exist in an intensive farmland of arable, slurry, canalised rivers and lead shot.

It will all be OK if moors and peat are burnt into man made patterns for grouse to be shot by spivs. If we are not good their forestry pals will have to cover it all with sitka spruce, which they are doing anyway with our money for landowners.

We pay for much of this, reading about waders on Somerset levels the plans to restore populations had to be abandoned as farmers objected to raised water levels. RSPB Greylake, fox fenced, raised water, has been a great success.

The way forward is no money for land owners unless it is for exceptional habitat, remember long term future of such land is uncertain. Buy land and manage it for conservation forever.

Does a place exist for modern outward thinking country people, producing food, maybe rough shooting, working with nature. I hope so, I have seen some sterling examples on Twitter, normally fighting against the odds. They deserve our thanks and support.

I hold you people in the highest regard and only wish you were a multitude because then conservation would be normality prctised by many.
