    It’s a shame the scriptwriter didn’t know a bit more about forestry, or have a s riot editor to corral things like confusion between pollarding and coppicing. Not a bad programme, but lightweight when it came to giving the historical truth about how a privileged elite took everything and limited the commoners to the bare minimum on land that had once been theirs to share. Andnothing has changed. Britain is still infected with the cancer of feudalism that holds a tiny minority can own all the land and its resources ( think of Crown rights over any mineral wealth you might discover on your property). This suppression of or people’s rights will never end until the populace stops tugging its forelock to the rich and powerful and gets on with serious land and wealth reforms.

We have an ancient forest atop Shooter's Hill, in S.E.London, which the local people have had to battle to have protected status against its destruction by construction companies. Once such a forest is destroyed, it cannot be so easily replaced, nor should it be.

    We know that Chris is 'Marmite' (love or hate) to many people. He is however, in a position to raise public awareness of a perceived problem. The important thing is to encourage dialogue between all the interested parties. Commoners, Verderers and the various national bodies. Get the balance right to encourage, tourism, wildlife and farming. If there are to be farming subsidies across the UK, make sure they are fair to all. If we avoid personal comments, a constructive narrative begins.... There is much to be gleaned from visiting the various websites including: newforestcommoner.co.uk verderers.org.uk newforestassociation.org newforestassociation.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/NF_Grass_Final_Report.pdf hlsnewforest.org.uk/projects/verderers-grazing-scheme/
