Salopian, I won't comment on the "sabotaging the Vintagers" part. However, as far as sharing views with someone else, I agree 100% with the officially stated view of your British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC): "To oppose any unwarranted changes in the use of lead shot unless sound scientific evidence . . . shows such changes are needed to protect wildlife, the environment or human health." The restriction on lead shot at EPIC does not appear to fit that description.
