What do you think? Would it benefit the landscape or just upset an already scarred ecosystem?

There are wild boar already, albeit escaped from captivity, in the UK and they are doing very well. I am sure that they would survive. They are very destructive though. The wolf should do ok, especially in Scotland. I think that there is too little habitat left for the bear, it would just become a nuisance.
I don' think that large mammals do very well against man, we just consume too much of the landscape and change it to our needs, regardless of the rest that rely on it to survive
The cultured Englishman, forget it. I'm afraid the larger lout and general git culture has done for him.
If you are lucky, you may see cultured Englishman in his natural habitat in the South West but he is a dying breed.

Wow good question. I think it would be difficult for people to accept, seeing as the population has grown so much since these species were last in the wild. It would be difficult to monitor and also prevent people from hunting them!Many of these species, like the wolf were exterminated from the wild because they were seen as a threat to livestock (and humans), so introducing them may not be a good idea!The conditions have changed a lot too and they may not be able to sustain a population. Then again escaped wild boar seem to be doing well in Kent although they have scared a few people!As for the cultured englishman I have no idea!!

Not sure if the wolf and the bear would be accepted back into this society. Im sure we have wild boar because You can get wild boar sausages in Waitrose( bit pricey though)
cultured englishmen bit like cultured pearls cheaper than the real thing and not as good

There's simply not enough room or unspoilt countryside to support such large animals as wolf, bear and boar. As for the "cultured Englishman"...what? Which romanticised, nostalgic and never-really-existed-anyway view of Englishmen of bygone times are you referring to? Britain today is richer in culture than at any time in it's past, yet as a concession to what I think you may be alluding to, we are also producing some of the most uncultured young oiks ever in our history.

Don't think the "cultured" englishman was really cultured...
As for the wildlife. Seems like it is rather too late to do all that... They would clash with all of the humans in this nation of ours. If we ever reduce the population back to something reasonable then it might be a good idea...

You introduce them and the hunting mob will love you. What is a cultured Englishman Blair or Cameron types. No thanks. Anyway there is boar and I believe wolf wild in the UK.

yes, we expect african countries to bear the burden of conserving vast tracts of wild land and many dangerous predators but have made no effort to reintroduce these kind of creatures into our own ecosystems, even though were many times wealthier than they are.

I think that there still might be some cultured Englishmen left but they are close to extinction.
