Should We Applaud U Turn ?


So the government has done an about-face on the sale of our nations forests.

Should we applaud them for having the strength to reverse their decision in the face of public out cry. Or should we perhaps be questioning the sanity of a government that actually thought that it had the right to sell off the nations property. The forests don’t belong to the government, they belong to the nation. The government is just the custodian and the Forestry Commission their  management team.

This government is in slash and burn mode as they try to fix the economic problems that the labour government bequeathed to us all. I think we need to watch them closely so that they don’t jettison any other national treasures while the red mist is obscuring their common sense.
