THE Tories have been trying to sell our national forests for years. Public opinion and some high-ranking public inquiries have stopped them getting away with it in the past, but they secretly keep up the campaign to give their rich mates a chance to own some of the gems of our countryside.
Greatest among those gems are the National Parks and various Tory environment ministers from Caroline Spelman in 2010, through Owen Paterson, Liz Truss and now Michael Gove have all had a try at letting greedy developers have a nibble at these important places.
One of the worst examples was the huge Bluestone leisure development, part of which was finally built in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
