That sinking feeling.

Selling Nature by the Pound. (with a nod to Genesis the rock group).
Seems Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs budget is being cut by 40%.
So much for the “green govt” credentials, presumably they meant forcing windfarms into existence. 
It looks like they are keen to sell greenery off as fast as possible.  This really is not what the people voted for.
Harold Macmillan accused Thatcher of selling of the family silver, that gone it looks like the next phase is to sell off the estate.
Privatisation of parts of the Forestry Commission.  Selling off National Nature Reserves and withdrawing grants from British Waterways.
Words sort of fail when faced with this sort of news.
Once again the govt has gone for the soft target.

Britains Landscape to be sold.
