NATIONAL FOREST SELL OFF PETITION

[elite504]

Folks,
I absolutely DO NOT want this thread to become political, or to be taken as any expression of political inclination.

However, as you know, the Government are planning on selling off the forests, and that affects all of us who ride. There is a petition going, and chances are someone has outed it already- I can't keep as close an eye on the forums as I used to.

Basically , if we want to keep the Lake District, Forest of Dean, Sherwood, the New Forest, etc etc, then sign THIS:

See how your MP voted on the issue here:

Mine voted. Mine Voted to SELL> I can't believe this.

I don't want a big discussion, just protect YOUR forests. Once they are gone, they are gone forever.

Well worth supporting. As Nick says this could effect many of the places we ride in the UK.

It gets me when reason is cant afford to maintain them. The amount of ffin tax we now pay on everything, yet compared to other things, sustainable WORKING forests where they sell stuff really cant be a big drain.

Signed. Glad to see that my MP (Con) voted 'no'.

My MP (Labour) voted yes ???? why on earth is someone in a scottish constituency allowed to vote for an England only issue. (Our neighbouring SNP MP rightfully abstained)
