Conservation - as fake as a £9 note

At a time of spiralling prices and cuts in essential services across
the board, one industry seems to be escaping much of the hardship.

Never mind our armed services without proper equipment, prisons
stretched to capacity, hospitals being sources of infection, schools
failing future generations, social services not able to cope,
inadequate flood defences, precipitous potholes in our roads, and last
but not least the seemingly unstoppable rise in violent crime.

Despite all the political posturing, essential services are largely
being starved of cash, whilst millions of pounds are being thrown at
an industry which is about as fake as a nine pound note. Indeed, if
this industry operated in the high street, it would probably be closed
down for misrepresentation or downright fraud.

The industry of course is "conservation" which:

· Passes off the planting of nursery grown saplings (baby trees)
as "ancient woodlands".
· Claims planting trees combats climate change - where
scientific evidence concludes they do not above 20 degrees latitude
and that the money would be better spent protecting tropical forests.
· Promotes historical assumptions and speculation as "fact" in
respect of "native" species where it has no evidence to support its
claims.
· Introduces animals that have evolved abroad and claims they
are "native" to this country because they are in the same paper
classification of "species".
· Emotively uses words like "extinct" when it really means an
animal is not established in certain locations.
· Promotes and carries out ethnic cleansing by killing plants
and animals it deems inappropriate because of origin or abundance.
· Solicits donations from the public for conserving the natural
environment, yet indulges in and encourages environmentally damaging
activities to fund its existence.
· Sends out large quantities of unsolicited junk mail, which is
environmentally damaging by its production, distribution and disposal.
· Canvasses for volunteers to do menial tasks, but pays its
executives up to and over £100,000 a year.
· Contributes virtually nothing in rates and taxes to the
economy because it hides behind charity status.
· Creates its own crises, advises politicians what to do, and is
paid by the taxpayer to solve them - a "gravy train" ring.
· Is responsible for increasing the environmentally damaging
human footprint in wild places.
· Is backed by a forestry authority and other government quangos
that would be largely redundant if it wasn't for "conservation" -
bureaucrats keeping themselves in jobs.
· Promotes and allows blood sports on "reserves" that should be
wildlife havens.

All this while our country is descending into "third world" status at
an alarming rate.

The CON in conservation is there for all to see - for those who look
closely enough.

All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
-- Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
