\u201cWe are heading in completely the wrong direction.\u201d<\/p>\n
Susanna Reid told the Home Secretary: \u201cHe [Chris] said that this could mean that protestors will take their actions much further.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat this could be seen as incitement to violence.\u201d<\/p>\n
Suella Braverman said that she \u201cdisagreed totally\u201d with Packham\u2019s view-point.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Richard Madeley said that some people have suggested Chris is endorsing the violence by not condemning it.<\/p>\n
Braverman said: \u201cThat\u2019s incredibly irresponsible and reckless.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud of what we\u2019ve achieved over the last 10 years when it comes to the environment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Earlier in the show Packham insisted he wasn\u2019t inciting violence.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cI have not incited any violence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no intention, at this point, of committing any violence myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Is that the degree of freedom that we want taken away from us?\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAt the core of our democracy is our human right to protest and that human right is being eroded at a critical time in our species\u2019 history.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIf we do not exercise that right, to use our voices, to change policies, to protect us and our future and that of our children and everything living on this planet, then I do not feel we are doing our duty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n To watch the interview and show in full visit itv.com.<\/p>\n
