the environment secretary was on the news again tonight trying in vain to bullshit her way out of the governments decision to sell off the 18% of public owned forests left in england. she is now claiming that it has nothing to do with cost cutting (because it has been shown that it will probably cost the government more) and to do with some other shit which gives those that want a hand in governing the future of england's forests a chance to do so; even though those that want to do so don't want the government to sell them off, or would need financial support from the government to do the job properly. She went on to say access a lot as if those who care about forests and the crucial environment they provide for non-human systems, only want to preserve them so that they can ride a mountain bike in them at the weekends.
I only hope that the campaign fights on and that this consultation concludes that we (caroline spelman) didn't think it through and have decided to keep the forests. And nobody will care a jot caroline if you tell us (the public) that this is what you were planning to do any way and that the media gave us the wrong impression.
