SO, the Lib Dems are considering voting against the forest sell-off.

For me this could be their last chance to redeem themselves especially since we are talking about such a relatively paltry revenue sum.

I am fed up spending hours of my time trying to write logical and reasoned letters to my MP (Conservative). What I get in return is standard letters urging me to be patient and not to worry but answering none of my questions nor even showing any understanding of the issues.

I've tried to explain to him about the threat to the wildlife in our forest, some of which is only just hanging on even now. I've complained about the on-going sale of several woodlands with no thought whatever for any wildlife they may contain. My MP certainly didn't try to provide any evidence that my assertion was wrong.

We can't even find out who some of these woods have been sold to. How can I believe that if this forest is sold, our wildlife will fare any better.

One of the creatures which is not endangered in our forest is Rattus Norvegicus and I smell a very large one at the centre of this whole business. Interesting that he's also made it to No 10 so perhaps now they can both be eradicated.
