UK Politics

A forest should be run as a forestry commission and as an independent body with both inputs from the users and the local communities. This is how some forests here in Scotland has been ran since the forest fiasco in the middle of The Great War (WWI) which almost lost Great Britain that war. This has been a good solution. 

Btw you can also close down incompetent corporations by stop buying anything from them. This actually far more than within a state where politicians covers each others back or keep themselves in power through terror. The history is littered with failed private enterprises and socalled big names suddenly going bankrupt.

The history of state run forests around the world is a history of corruption, gross crimes against the environment, using the forests as baits in elections and so forth. The UK state has also shown themselves unable to even run a barbrawl.  

In any case, most of the most important forests are already in private hands and inaccessable to even ramblers. I have one in my local area with "keep out" signs.

Hence; I will not loose sleep over this......... if it was not for this being the mating season for the urban foxes.
