This is very bad news

I wondered when some one would bring party politics in :roll: Before 97 The Gov sold forests/wood land off at high speed. Then a break for 13 yrs.
I had a work mates brother who bought a wood. He put signs up Keep Out and sits in a tent at the weekends. The neighboring wood was also sold to religious sect who had gatherings in theirs. They invited him to join
Ask Scotland about forests/wood land being owned by rich (some foreign individuals) companies etc
It's not good.

So (paraphrasing from a conversation I'm having elsewhere)...
Public rights of way would have to remain so
National Nature Reserves and Sites of Special Scientific Interest couldn't be sold.
What's the downside?
I'm not pro selling (and have signed the petition) but am asking specifically why it's considered a bad thing?

The sad thing is, after the woods and heath land has been sold off, the public outrage will just fade away as it always does, the government of course know this so all they have to do is weather the storm for now, either by ignoring the public as usual or make up mealy mouthed words about deficits and getting the counry going again, the usual excuse for what they do.
But as to the deficit, is it really that bad that everything has to be attacked, cut back, sold off to get back to 'normal' quicker, and what is normal post sell off and cut back, just what will this nation have when the debts have been paid off, less public services and less freedoms ? And off the cuts post recovery, will what has been lost be replaced, or because we have accepted the new line, therefore it will be seen as we dont need what we have lost ?
Getting debts paid quickly is good for the economy I keep hearing, but the question I have to ask, is who does the economy serve and off our accelerated debt repayment, maybe a situation will arise where manufacturing and other services will receive a boost,but what good is that boost in the face of a world economy, which is still in a downturn ? No good making or providing stuff, if foreign buyers don't have the money to buy, Britain will sink again for not keeping track with the rest of the world and when the rest of the world starts to prosper, Britain will be screwed.

Why waste energy fighting for what will be the inevitable.
