Hi guys for those who have signed a potition or emailed their MP i am glad to say we won the fight to have the forests sold of to privatisation, i for one am glad to hear this, i just recieved an email from David Babbs of 38 degrees who have many potitions for different causes,in his words he has put
! The government has just confirmed they’re totally scrapping the forest sell-off. The phoney consultation has been cancelled. The sinister legal changes to pave the way for privatisation have been dropped
great news

Sorry San, couldn't resist. Have corrected my 'error' now! :)) I did sign the petition about the woodland sell-off, but now I fear I ought to have abstained as it may be considered a little 'West Lothian' for a Scottish resident to have an opinion on this!! ;) Oh well, a vote's a vote and it seems it did count!

Good news, obviously they can listen at times......

17 Feb, 2011

 

That's great news. i don't knopw where they get these daft ideas from in the first place. i wish they'd use their sense. It would save a lot of distress.

oooor san preferred the 1st title lol but its gud news ................. xx

Yes brilliant news San.....what they were thinking of beggars belief!
These are people we have elected to represent us and what do they keep on doing, stabbing their electors in the back time and time again...it's time Cameron brought his self back down to earth and put the interests and welfare of the English people first. He may think he's looking at everything long term, but his term will certainly come to a short and sticky end if things carry on the way he's planning.

thankyou everyone for your comments, it certainly is good news all round.
janey your so right, clegg and cameron cant even get on so how can they keep the country on track, something has to give, its a mess.
but at least we have our countrside to enjoy :o))

great news...

19 Feb, 2011

 

I wrote to my MP twice about the forests & I signed the petition & sent off copies to many people. I posted about it on my Facebook page as well x 2 times. I was so pleased when I heard about the Government scrapping the idea on the news on TV!

Writing to your MP & signing petitions as well does help - sometimes!

thanx elsiemay it is great news :o)
balcony you certainly did your bit, well done and your right people think there is no point in complaining but in this case it has made a big difference, can you imagine if no-one had said anything it would have been done with no hesitation, so our voices do count at times :o)

19 Feb, 2011

 

I was really pleased about this too, at least we have a Government that seems to listen to us!!

26 Feb, 2011

 

not so much listen Tetra but think they knew they had it wrong and we wouldnt stand for it, i think they were shocked the people made such a rant about it to, at the end of the day the forests etc belong to us not them to do what they want, all good news though :o))
