Daft Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 For sale: all of our forests. Not some of them, nor most of them – the whole lot We now know, thanks to the junior environment minister Jim Paice's frank evidence to a recent House of Lords select committee, that the government is considering the sale of not just "some", or even "substantial", amounts of woodland as the public was originally led to believe, but of all state-owned English trees across the commission's 635,000-acre Forestry Commission estate. This includes many royal forests, state-owned ancient woodlands, sites of special scientific interest, heathland, campsites, farms and sporting estates. More... Unbelievable, really.
Ramar Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 My only reaction is: What the fuck.. This country has lost enough woodland as it is.
Guy Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 No forest in this county has ever looked that vibrant and green.
Rummy Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Fuck off are they! How can they! What exactly are they selling, the trees, lands, what? Either way...fuck off! I love my trees
dwarf Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Won't happen. Scaremongering bullshit. w00p! Is it meant to be a joke article? Because that's how I see it.
The Bard Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Ok, I didn't go to the student demonstrations, but I will full on riot if this is the case. The reasons to live in this country are diminishing one by one.
ReZourceman Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 So's your face. That is off topic. Can we try not to branch out to different subjects.
The Peeps Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 That is off topic. Can we try not to branch out to different subjects. He's just trying to get to the root of the matter
dwarf Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Didn't realise you were that good at puns 'Peeps! You've turned a new leaf.
ReZourceman Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Ah, I dunno....I always saw a seed of that in him.
dwarf Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 I guess NE didn't give him any real chance to grow.
ReZourceman Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Please stop, I'm going to soil myself if this continues.
dwarf Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 We need to stop hedging around the matter, and get back on tropic.
dwarf Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 I almost forgot how much I liked your Tag/Signature Rez, it goes under-appreciated. I hope it remains forever-green.
ReZourceman Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 I've got a similar design on the trunk of my car.
Goafer Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Won't happen. Scaremongering bullshit. w00p Exactly this. Hell, most news stories are scaremongering bullshit. I don't see why this one is any different.
Jimbob Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Best not sell the trees. I love walking through forests.
