    So how many forests did you fight to save when the previous Labour government was selling them off as well John?

    Oh . . . .

    Sorry anon, haven't a clue what you are talking about. How about referencing your drivel? Or is that too intellectually demanding for you?

    cheers!

    Rubbish anon what about

    My Lords, is there any reason why, before any sale, the Forestry Commission should not create a public right of way over many of the paths in each and every piece of freehold woodland, which would be enforceable against purchasers and would persist as do all other public rights of way?

    Dr Lord Clark of Windermere, former Labour Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and head of the Forestry Commission did what to ensure that on the 25,000 acres sold off under Labour?

    Or is quietly forgotten when Labour do it and good old-fashioned Tory-bashing when the current government does it?

    Such political maturity.

    "As Britain’s largest land manager we look after nearly a million hectares of land including some of our best loved and most spectacular landscapes. Two-thirds of the estate lies within National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty or Sites of Special Scientific Interest"

    not sure if your 25k is true but we are talking about nearly a million hectares.

    Get real - this is a disgusting mass sell off of a national treasure purely to please Cameron's thieving banking mates.
