Many folks on here may have heard of 38 Degrees and the Save Our Forests Campaign - opposing the UK Government's plans to sell off the UK's remaining woodlands and forests to private corporations.
I've been getting emails from 38 Degrees as I subscribed to this campaign.

My question is, is 38 Degrees legitimate?
I've checked them out on the Web and it all looks legit, but what's the STW Massif's views on this?
Ooooh, they've got an internet petition! They must be able to change teh world, end all teh problems and make all teh people live in peace and harmony with teh polar bears.
Meh.
Why are they not called Buy Our Forests? Why are they not organising people to band together, purchase and manage the forests for the good of all ?
Could it be because they are better at moaning than doing ?
82085 have whined, but done sweet F*** all.
It's one tool to get the message across. I'd always start by contacting your local MP.
There's a good one on 38 about Murdering Tobacco Scum if you want to help save a few lives.
Plenty about getting teh eviltoryscum to pay taxes, but nothing about getting the Guardian to stop tax dodging.
Usual hypocritical leftist bulldumps.

Murdering as "saving lives"? Excellent. NOT.
You can start a petition on their site if you can get enough support from like minded people.
You don't have to agree with everything they support.
Maybe the lefties are actively participating, while the righties are sitting upon their fundamentals whining...
(I'm not a leftie btw, more a Declaration of Arbroath type)

Do you agree with murder?
Ah - I read it as if it was the Tobacco Scum that were the Murrderrerrs...
As a forester, some of their arguments against the sell-off really don't make sense. Not to mention that the majority of good quality timber comes from private holdings because they actually look after their stands.
It is quite hard to change the land-use of forestry, especially with current planting targets and ultimately this would still be controlled by the FC in their regulatory position.
