Owen Paterson, our environment minister, (the man who when asked about the failure of the badger cull replied "its because the badgers have moved the goal posts") has suggested that developers could be allowed to build on ancient woodland if they plant a few trees..

I am sure I do not need to tell any of you guys how important out ancient woodland is and that it cannot be replaced..
If you guys feel as strongly against this as I do, please sign the petition here.. https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio...ime=1388880690
I cannot believe what sort of idiot this man is..
