I presume all those people who hit the rage button over the last few weeks about selling off public forests will be sticking to their principles and never voting Labour again since they sold off around 15% of England's public forests, and now the Tories have dropped their plans, have not sold any off.

Funny how Labour jumped on the bandwagon ain't it? Hypocritical much?

If you are bothered about sport in schools I assume you were one of those who campaigned against Gove's plans (http://www.24dash.com/news/education/2010-12-20-Gove-accused-of-humiliating-climbdown-over-sports-funding-axe)to slash it?

More than 200 playing fields sold off under Labour, Government figures show

Labour ministers have rubberstamped the sale of more than 200 school and community playing fields, official figures have revealed.
By Simon Johnson 7:33PM BST 29 Jul 2009

The party came to power in 1997 promising to protect the green spaces and bringing the then Tory Government's "policy of forcing schools to sell off playing fields to an end."
But statistics published in the Commons Library show 203 pitches have been lost in England and Wales under Labour, with ministers approving 49 sales in the four years since London became the host city for the 2012 Olympics.

But as regards forests, before jumping to a conclusion I'd be interested to hear the full story behind sales, conditions of sale, investment plans in new and existing forest and how revenues were spent.

I suspect that a good 99% of them were either totally oblivious of this or chose to blank it out of what is laughingly called their memory.

Four legs good, two legs bad remember?

Not pro-tory but this is a storm in a teacup, weve always sold off land, dont think its going to be any different now.

Labour are a joke them forests could have housed the 3million migrants we didnt have room for that they still let in! !!!

Are you saying the forests should be cut down and the land used to build houses for immigrants?

Just looking through your posts reveals you to be a joke Tory Boy!

Bulding huts for immigrants in the forest land isnt a bad idea actually. Puts it to use and frees up social housing for UK citizens. It makes sense.
