Flippancy aside, would you now like to put actual figures to this reply? By all means go through the RSPB website, magazine and Legal Eagle and tell me how many people have been convicted of wildlife crimes in the UK over the last year alone. Despite what you choose to believe, the UK wildlife crimes are often featured here on BF including outrage that no charges occurred after the Dersingham incident.Yes, you want to muddy the waters and pretend that the British hate the Maltese but you know full well that is not what is being said. Did you by any chance attend the Merlins Over Malta event a few years ago? Not a bird event of course but a good illustration that there is a strong sociological link between the two nations. Illegal hunters from any nation are scum in anyone's language so this carefully contrived air of injury really does not work. Condemn this and leave it because the moment you start making excuses and diverting the discussion is the very same moment you display a not so hidden agenda.</blockquote>
