There is a strong argument for not feeding as it helps spread disease unless you clean your feeder very frequently. Also increases population of specific species in suburbs allowing them to spread in to the countryside at the expense of other species. Greenfinch, willow tit and marsh tit are all good examples of species that have suffered greatly while blue tits and great tips have benefited.
Feeding is also a very uk thing, something like over a third or a half of all seed sold in Europe is in the UK
