The Great asset-stripping of the UK has Begun! 25/10/10

The British Government is about to sell off over half of all UK Forests that are currently under the control of the Forestry Commission to private corporations as the asset-stripping of the UK is begun on behalf of the International Monetary Fund and the Big Six Beast Banks.

Caroline Spelman, the environment secretary, has just announced plans to sell around half of our forests to the mega-corporations – that is 150,000 hectares of prime woodland – as well as numerous other properties. The New Forest, Sherwood Forest, and the Forest of Dean could be targeted for sale.

The Sunday Telegraph provided a map of which forests are owned by the state through the Forestry Commission:
The vast majority of these forests are in Wales, West Scotland and the North East of England.

    No, vivatifosi's thread was about the conservatives planning to sell off woodland.

    This thread is about the Illuminati selling off woodland to big beast banks and mega corporations in order to install the New World Order.

    At torontoboy says, this topic has already been discussed. The boards resident forestry experts (Davesnave & lostinrates) are not apposed to the idea if it's done in the correct way. That's good enough for me.

    Why all the childish posts above?

    Any way in a serious mode how will this affect land prices?

    We were interested in a couple a acres of forest that seemed quite cheap a few years ago. Im sure it will be even cheaper now.

    What about in a few years time I wonder?
