Mark Avery

When Avery was at the RSPB he pointed out to a Lib Dem MP that there were more RSPB members in his constituency than his majority, and the MP suddenly took notice.

“You get the impression that everybody’s interested in football – there are thousands and thousands of people who are interested in nature, it’s just that they don’t all gather together in Saturday afternoon crowds of 40,000, so you don’t see them. We’re told about the football results all the time; we’re not told about the biodiversity results.
Two stand outs for me on reading through it.
 
Looks to be true. Apologies for referencing the Graun but there doesn’t appear a lot of coverage of this


Will be interesting to see what effect this has. Packham is certainly the face of WJ but he tends to come off as an activist and not a strategist. If Avery has been doing that bit, then perhaps his departure will see WJ morph into a more general protest group.
