Happy Face 29 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Just got this, thought I'd try and get a few more sigs...just short of half a million so far... Dear friends and colleagues, I'd be most grateful if you would spare two minutes of your busy day to read my email. The UK Government is planning to sell much of England's forests and woodland. This would include well-loved areas of the Lake District National Park amongst many other areas where the public currently has open access rights to walk and ride. When I first heard of this story, I thought it was a hoax. However, if you google the recent news coverage of this item you will see that it is sadly a real plan. If, like me, you do not think this sale of our woodland should happen, please add your name to the petition at the web site below. The link to sign the petition is near the bottom of the home page: www.savelakelandsforests.org.uk Please send this to all of your like-minded friends and colleagues. This message is not sent with any party-political bias. Rather, it is simply sent with a desire to protect open access to England's green and pleasant land. Forgive my intrusion if this is not a subject which affects you. Thanks for your time, Takes 2 seconds to sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 There's several issues around it. The worry is anyone wanting to buy the forests will want to develop them. Whether that's for holiday homes, wind farms or coal reserves in the case of the Forest of Dean (iirc). Once they're up for sale if charities like the Woodland and National Trusts can't buy them then any restrictions on the sale may be relaxed in order to get rid. It seems very short-sighted to me.

It's basically part of the plan to move property, land and assets away from the poeple and into private hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rich use the upkeep as tax breaks. It's not short sighted at all it't part of the plan to de-link common people from their age old birthrights and assets. Part of the global warming scam will be used to pass more regulation in the name of protecting the enviroment and so on...But in actuality it is a trasferance of power of ownership and use. People will be encouraged away from the countryside and into the cities further. Note Obama passing the anti-rainwater storing or harvesting laws in the states.

The main driving force are these guys, set up in the 70's by that friend of the people David Rockefeller. http://www.clubofrome.org/eng/home/ These plans are deep and inter-generational. No accident any of this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read an article about it last week saying that typically of the tories its a chance for rich people to use it as tax breaks and that the relatively minor ammount of money the sales will make will be at least equalled by future tax losses, but then their rich mates will have benefitted and the poorer public at large will have been shafted again, so tories are happy.

I'm sure carbon credits and carbon sinks is part of this particular scam. Might even be (and I know my imagination might run wild at times), but the rich might at some point start charging the Govt to keep the forests as carbon sinks and so on(on top of the tax breaks discussed of course)...Anyways I'm sure various scams are afoot. Basically people will be robbed of pretty much everything our forefathers have paid for many times over before they are done with us.
