Well stand by. The spinners and manipulators of language in the conservation industry can match Humpty Dumpty any day. They are, after all, Big Con, the conservation industry's equivalent to Big Pharma.
Some don't do irony. So watch out for their po-faced bullshit.
Because the Director of Strategy at the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts calls himself, without irony, a Pragmatic Idealist! He should be told to pull the other one. The Orwellian association is unavoidable. We remember Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength. Bullshit like this is making language meaningless in order to appear clever-clever. That's what makes doublethink dangerous.
Who let these awful people in? Conservation was once a fine aspiration, Now, it's become institutionalised, tawdry and self-serving. Their own-goals give delight to the anti-conservation Countryside Alliance.
Like Humpty he should be sitting on this wall. One of the cows will surely push him off.
As for the wall itself what better way of spending £35,000 of public money with no accountability at the same time that essential public services are being ruthlessly squeezed? Increasingly I'm thinking that in many ways these charities are no better than the big landowners who own shooting estates.
