  1. There was a nice amount of open fields/woodland near me where I used to love walking my dog but now it’s being built on 🙁

  2. This is why the attack on “NIMBYism” that’s about to come from Starmer’s Nu-New-Labour is an affront.

    It’s a way to blame people who want to protect local green spaces instead of accurately pointing responsibility towards property speculators and profiteering landlords.

  3. What, ‘cos people go out to hang themselves in them?

    Access to nature is genuinely important for our wellbeing, but with the way they’ve been slashing mental health services, all that will be on offer soon is a leaflet telling you how to find your nearest woodland walk, and maybe an infographic on knots if you’re in crisis.

  4. No no no. Don’t put fucking pound signs on the sacred and the magical. Don’t play their fucking game. It’s priceless, end of discussion.
