There has been a significant number of letters objecting

to the sell off of the Forest.

This proposed sell off was not unexpected under the

coalition government. The Conservatives have a history of

selling off everything in sight, starting off with Amersham

International at the start of Thatcher's reign through

electricity, gas, water, transport and many other vital

industries.

It must be rather galling for a party which is

avowedly anti Europe to realise that most of these

concerns are now owned by French, German and Spanish

companies.

22,853 people voted for Mr Harper in the last

election and are directly responsible for the number of

MPs the Conservatives have in parliament. 10,676 people

voted in this constituency for the Liberal Democrats and

are indirectly responsible for the coalition. It would be

good to hear their views on the sell off.
