Ep. 78 - Mo Metcalf-Fisher - Protecting Britain's Green & Pleasant Lands

Mo Metcalf is the Director of External Affairs for the Countryside Alliance. We typically dive into a wide range of topics on all things countryside. From Countryside Alliance’s overarching mission and Mo’s evolving role in the media, to the thorny controversies surrounding deer culls and grouse shooting, no stone is left unturned.We also wade into the RSPB seemingly forgetting about the birds, the notion that the countryside is far from “wild” but in fact carefully man-made, and the Left and Labour’s rather tempestuous relationship with Britain’s green and pleasant land. And, of course, there’s plenty more along the way.CA Website - https://www.countryside-alliance.org/Mo’s Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mometfisher/0:00 - Coming Up..0:40 - External Affairs Director 10:20 - Just Staving Off The Future? 16:35 - City vs. Country 18:40 - Jeremy Clarkson Shooting Deer22:10 - Best PR Is No PR27:16 - Grouse Shooting Ban 35:05 - Irony Of The RSPB41:15 - The Countryside Is Not Wild49:05 - Labour’s Relationship To The Country 1:02:30 - Farmer’s Awakening 1:06:13 - Personal, Political, Biblical?1:12:35 - GBnews
