The Poacher. "The Other Side Of The Hedge" An Original 1987 Tv Documentary {obviously,not HD).  

And to think their grandchildren will be replaced in their own homeland

I remember this , brilliant back in its day….. and now, is the main gent ( The Poacher ) still with us ?

Really well I was actually in this film at 18:50 that’s me years ago I really in joyed making this thanks for watching

@@killintime8431 At 18.50, really? This was filmed in the early 1980s though, you must be well over 100 years old by now ole lad.

@@waynesmith4612 ya I’m getting up there but this really brings back memories

The first time I tried poached rabbit I puked.

would use it as cat food.

Do you know if he kept with the running dogs after the keepers killed his bitch

Dick Tickler; what a name that is. I'd have that changed right away if that was my name 😁

Aye you're right pal. The poacher helped many a family living on the breadline.

BIN CHICKEN?

Yeah…. Piggers cutting fences and leaving gates open. Nothing nice and romantic about that. Just bad-actors who can’t be bothered getting permission and end up making things stink for all of us.

All the time

They do raise chickens but why wouldn't they be allowed?

Blimey. One of the shoots I beat on still only pays £20. And perhaps 1 beer at dinner time and about enough sloe gin to cover the bottom of the glass. (In Bedfordshire, you know who you are).😂

@@octagon12011 lol 😂

I’ve had it alright 30 quid a bit of lunch and take some birds afterwards not awful

REALLY 🤣😂...Good luck with that one 😏

I merely meant we in America are blessed because we have public land to hunt. Landowners do not own the animals. You are not aloud to trespass, but we have a lot of opportunity and seasons to harvest a variety of game….so yes, we are in luck

@@Chassealarcnot sure about the god bless America part but you defo have more relaxed fishing and hunting rights although we have free health care 😂

Thank god i live in usa what a shit show it is in uk

@@joehowart7364 We have dear that can be hunted 12 months of the year with no limit on the amount you take, most people hunt rabbit in season but you can hunt them all year.

It's from 1987 Brad. No HD I'm afraid. The quality is what it is but, it does get better

I turned on the subtitles and listened with earphones. I'm a Texan so the British accent is difficult for me.

City slicker detected

I'm half British (mom was from Middlesex), and 1/4 Ledbetter, 1/4 Moses (hillbilly royalty). My Nan spent the last 16 years of her life down the road from us so the accent is pretty easy for me to understand.

@@klawockkidd3426 You confuse English with British; these are not synonyms. Britain is not England. I'm an Englishwoman, and my friend is a Scotswoman; we are also both British but sound totally different with no similarity in our accents whatsoever. The island of Britain has three countries, and the UK has four. Therefore British accents are English, Welsh, Scottish, and Northern Irish; but they each sound completely different, so to say someone has a 'British accent' is a misnomer and makes no sense. For example, Mr Scott from Star Trek has a 'British accent', so does King Charles. Do they sound the same to you? Which 'British accent' do you think they have? Would the 'British accent' be English, Welsh, Scottish, or Northern Irish? Moreover the variation among these accents is huge. Also, is the British person English, Welsh, Scottish, or Northern Irish? Then there are working class regional accents, as well as English Received Pronunciation (standard and upper). English = belonging to or relating to England, or its people: Englishwoman, Englishman. British = belonging to or relating to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or to its people (English, Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish) or its culture. Englishwoman = me, because I'm specifically an old English girl from England. England = a country within the island of Great Britain; England shares land borders with Wales to its west and Scotland to its north and is part of the United Kingdom. Britain, or Great Britain = large geographical island in the British Isles comprising three small countries: England, Scotland, and Wales. The fuller name 'Great Britain' has been in use since the Middle English period, originally to distinguish the island from Brittany, which was then also called Britain. British isles = a geographically named group of islands, including Britain, Ireland (Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland), the Isle of Man, the Hebrides, the Orkney Islands, the Shetland Islands, the Isles of Scilly, and the Channel Islands, lying off the coast of north-western Europe, from which they are separated by the North Sea and the English Channel. United Kingdom = sovereign country and kingdom consisting of four smaller countries: England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Full name: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Moreover, the Union Flag (or Jack) does not represent England. St George's Cross is the flag that represents England: it's a red cross on a white background. The Union Flag (or Jack) is not a symbol or flag of England or Great Britain: it's the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, being a composite design composed of St George's Cross (England), Saint Andrew's Cross (Scotland), and Saint Patrick's Cross (Ireland, now with Northern Ireland remaining). Wales had been annexed to the Kingdom of England before the Union, and therefore its flag does not form part of the composite design of the Union Flag. Hope this is of interest and helps to elucidate the particularities of the United Kingdom. ❤xx

Firstly, it was Peter, not Paul. Secondly, the animals were lowered to him in a sheet. When God lowers animals to you in a sheet, I have zero problem with you killing and eating them. Trespassing on my land and stealing my critters is another matter entirely. The same Bible has plenty to say about not stealing and respecting boundaries.

nope, no such thing as public land here. All land is owned by farmers or conservation authorities. We all should have a right to land but sadly thats not the case, we have lost our land to ever expanding farms or authorities buying land to set laws on. Just about the only "public" land we have is to walk on. anything else your breaking the law in some way shape or form. sad.
