      You mean if hypocrisy was gold... I suppose his cobalt (Mined for by children) phone has a Bakelite casing, or is it made from petrochemicals? What about the twelve diesel burning generators used for filming spring/summer/autumn/winter watch... Has he jumped on a plane in the last six months? Does he still live so deep into the countryside that only trees can be seen on the horizon?
      I can only look down on his "Do as I say" consumerism using his own self serving barometer.

    I absolutely admire Chris Packham's knowledge, talent and his willingness to stand up for what is right. I'm from central Europe, not from the UK, but I watch his work from here and I totally agree with all of it. Keep it up Chris.

    The more I hear from and about him, the more I feel he is an amazing person and speaks an awful lot of sense.

    You shouldn't be having to put up with all the trolls and the bad when all you are doing is good. I too am autistic (self diagnosed (at the moment) with neurodiverse children. I'm glad you are still here your work is soo valid. 😊

    OMG, I am autistic as well, and I have the same fears for my children.

    He's one of the best examples of humanity out there. It's amazing how people can't handle honest people.

    It’s absurd to say he has no empathy. Look at that huge sigh when he knows declining the wedding invitation disappointed his girlfriend. And the fact that he didn’t commit suicide because he didn’t want to let his dogs down. In both instances he clearly ‘felt with’ the other, which is the definition of empathy.
