Family Silver

I've had no reply from Nick Clegg nor yet acknowledgement to my letter of 1st January. That's the one expressing concern about the selling off of NNRs. I shall remind him about that when I write with concern about another proposed sale of more of our countryside's family silver. This is the sale of 150,000 hectares of national forest currently managed by the Forestry Commission. These are important public assets and selling them off to private buyers risks our never again having a chance to influence the way they are managed.

There is also the little matter of taxation.
