The Coalition Governments plans to sell off most if not all of Forestry Commision Land, are in my opinion unacceptable, but so did some members of the Lib-Dems who now partner the Tories in Government and in particular Danny Alexander, who is Chief Secretary to The Treasury, the recipients of the money. Me thinks double standards here!!!!!!!
In Canada almost all of the land, around 89% of land is “Crown land”, that is to say that either the provincial or the federal Government owns the land and will allow logging, mineral, farming or sometimes fishing rights to the land to individuals, corporations or aboriginal groups. However being Crown Land gives entitlement to the "subjects" to cross the land, hike across it and even camp on it.
If only our Government, past and present had the mindset to have passed in to legislation what previous Canadian Governments had achieved, no one would need to worry about access to what is now our land, but will shortly become fenced off, private property.
