Says Steve Yandall

What a strange World we live in!

The recent furore surrounding the forest 'sell off' (which was a leasehold sale not a direct sale) was a tangible response to a perceived threat to a part of our heritage that goes back in to antiquity.Quite rightly the British public flexed their muscles and outmaneuvered the powers that were driving unacceptable change.

Far greater threats, driven by the same NGO's,agenda's and personal aspirations are being publicised by Tony Barnett(Commonheritage) and groups like Save Penwith Moors but are not,yet,receiving full public exposure,support or credibility.

The same principles are at stake.Freedom,access,democracy plus rule of law but public sympathies and belief are firmly 'at the disposal' of NGO's who freely create stereotypes to support their own credibility and depress the credibility of opposition but FAIL to produce science or generate legal compliance to satisfy challenges.

He who shouts loudest eh!

No longer.

The corrosive nature of local NGO impositions has,to date,not galvanised the public in the same way as the proposed national imposition of the forest policy but I would ask EVERY person reading this to consider the national implications of the multiple local initiatives being undertaken,in our names,with our money,which,as a whole,amount to a national agenda to fence,exclude,homogenise and disenfranchise all of us.

The forest issue was national,confrontational and we know the result. Other initiatives are by stealth and are corrosive with a high reliance on our belief that those involved are 'White Knights'! The same belief that allowed the terrible slaughter inflicted by Knight Templars in the Crusades!

What NGO's/LA's etc are doing locally is a national issue and,at times,a national disgrace.Don't be fooled.Don't be silent and please challenge how your money is being used,your heritage degraded and your personal freedoms limited.

The British public are about to receive their natural divorce papers. A far worse situation than the forestry issue and one only YOU can change by the same vociferous means adopted earler this year!
