Every time the Tories get in the first thing they do is sell publicly owned assets. off. Usually they sell for bugger all to people who only have their own personal interests At heart. They did exactly the same thing last time. Britain, once a maritime nation no longer has shipyards; the publicly owned transport system was replaced with an inferior and more costly mishmash Of disparate private firms; the post office; the telecoms; many schools; the utility companies; the nation's gas and oil; the electricity provision.
There's more. What they can't sell they cripple like they did to the mines. A nation built on coal and we buy it in from the other side of the world. Our gas and electricity is mostly supplied by foreign corporations.
This is what they do. Why would they care about our forests when most of their major players are multimillionaires with land and estates of their own? They are ideologically opposed to any form of public ownership.
