Packham and the Paedophile

They say you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep, and few people keep worse company than Chris Packham.
Last week Packham’s long term ally and Chairman of League Against Cruel Sports, Dan Norris MP, was arrested on suspicion of child sex offences and rape.
Norris is not the first politician associated with LACS to be brought down by accusations of sexual deviancy. In January, Ivor Caplin - the former veterans minister and Labour MP for Hove - was arrested by police in Brighton on suspicion of ‘engaging in sexual communication with a child’. He was detained by a group of activists who claimed they had arranged to meet Caplin while posing as an underage boy.
Caplin, who was instrumental in passing the 2004 Hunting Act, was awarded a lifetime membership by LACS and was vocal in his support for the organisation.
As recently as December 2024, Norris was photographed alongside Packham at a swanky event in Parliament hosted by the controversial cosmetics company, Lush.
Lush are best known for funding anti-police campaigns across the country.
Nor is Norris the only politician to be funded by eco-hypocrite, Dale Vince, who has recently been accused in court of using private jets and green washing. In total he donated more than £5 million to Labour's 2024 general election campaign.
Vince, another close ally of Packham, is known to have funded a variety of activist groups including Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil.
Packham - whose sister is celebrity dress designer Jenny Packham - has also made no secret of his closeness with convicted terrorist bomb-maker, Mel Broughton. He was recently pictured with the criminal bomb maker attempting to disrupt a peaceful and law-abiding trail hunt in Hampshire.
Broughton, a leader of the Northants Hunt Sabs, has an extensive and widely publicised criminal record. In 2010, he was jailed for placing firebomb devices at a cricket pavilion in Oxford, causing an estimated £14,000 worth of damage. In 2024, he appeared in court over allegations that he had waged “psychological warfare” against a worker at the medical research facility MBR Acres, including claims that he called the man a “puppy killer” in front of his eight-year-old son.
Worse still, Packham is also known to have worked closely with known white supremacist and animal rights extremist, Luke Steele. Packham’s Wild Justice co-founder, Mark Avery, even appeared in Parliament alongside Steele and the RSPB’s Jeff Knott.
Steele spent over 18 months in jail for a campaign of violence and harassment against scientists seeking to find life changing medicines, including attempting to blow up one of the scientist’s cars.
The list goes on and the recurring theme is clear for all to see. How anyone could ever take Packham seriously, when his judgement of character is so flawed? Or is there something more sinister at play?
It certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed that Packham has not once condemned the actions of his friends listed above. Indeed, since the news broke of the Norris’s suspected noncing, Packham has not once denounced his ally or expressed sympathy for the alleged victims. Rather, he's been talking about how he wants to be buried with his two pet poodles.
Now that does seem quite strange, doesn’t it?
