Nonsense!

Removing flowers/seeds from a rare plant in a nature reserve is one
thing.
keeping a few blackberries from the jam pot and propagating is quite
another.

Hey, it is a NATURE reserve. Not the local branch of Tesco.
The brambles and blackberries are there for the benefit of the
wildlife, not to supplement anyone's shopping list.

You clearly have a minimal understanding of either ecology or botany,
which puts you on a par with the goons who make the laws in the UK.

Almost all ecologies in the UK were created by human intervention,
and none are untouched by it. What the original poster proposed will
do no harm. The limit on blackberry's spread in the UK is space
(a.k.a. competition) and not the availability of shoots to tip-in.
