The Government’s new Planning
and Infrastructure Bill proposes to tear down environmental protections to
benefit developers. It is a full-scale assault on our nature and wildlife which
is already significantly struggling due to habitat destruction, pollution and
climate change!
I voted for a Labour Party that was going to implement nature-friendly and wildlife-friendly policies as they promised prior to the General Election.
I thought there is no way that any Government can be as bad as the last one which totally ignored protecting and restoring the natural environment.
I was wrong.
Today's column is about the government's huge, unprecedented assault on nature ... and about the eerie, astonishing silence of the big nature groups. The RSPB, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts have 7.5m members between them. A vast force, completely unmobilised. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
