I'm sure we've had this before, maybe on the old forum Sign the petition against it here: www.38degrees.org.uk/page/s/save-our-forests#petitionAbsolutely ridiculous proposal in my view. Private companies only care about profit and the best way to make profit out of a forest is to cut it down.

Private companies only care about profit and the best way to make profit out of a forest is to cut it down. i still reckon in 50 or 60 years time this country will be like a giant housing estate no forests left etc do you like sound of that then or not all this because of mass population growth and mass immigration.

This may be of interest to the less knuckle-dragging members of the forum. The reason the name Great Britain came into being was to distinguish the larger population of the Britons from the smaller one, which is called Brittany. - What things do you think made Britain great powerful?, A technological leadership coupled with a ferocious military determination to dominate trade by whatever means possible. - When do you think it started being great?, At some time during the 18th century. Technologically it could be 1764 since the spinning jenny was a key innovation that led to mass mechanisation. From a military point of view I would suggest the battle of Plassey which wikipedia tells me was 1757. That brought India under control and I guess gave Britain the confidence to think it was a world power. - When did Britain's fall from greatness start? Don't know. The abolition of slavery? The fall of Khartoum? Arguably the seeds of destruction were inherent in the imperial model.

Chop 'em all down! What use are f*cking trees anyway? They just get in the way.
We need the space for social housing. There are currently 62 million people in this country. By next Tuesday there'll by 70 million and by 2015 we'll have out-stripped China as the most populous country in the world.
And what's more they're virtually all be foreigners, lazing around and sponging off the 100 or so real Brits left, like me and Danny.
I've had enough, I'm off to Iran. Nice and warm.

This country has high average incomes, a manufacturing base that only makes money (if at tall) in complex, high-value products & projects. Do you think we can invade ourselves into future prosperity? It seems a bit of a long shot given that a bunch of medieval tribesmen are in the process of kicking us out of Afghanistan.

No, read again. I said grammar, not spelling. Grammar is the most important thing. If we get that right, everything else will follow.

You are missing the big picture. The British Empire was founded on three things.... Tea, Grammar, and the Oxford Comma. We have Tea under control at the moment. Grammar and the Oxford Comma, however, require some more work. Until these things are back at the required standard, we will never regain our standing in the world.

What we need IMO is
- industry, I agree - preferably British-owned and a gradual restructuring of the economy so that it is more balanced and less reliant on financial markets
- renationalised public transport, run for the people not for profit
- massive investment in renewable energy, creating jobs, cutting emissions and making us less reliant on imported energy from Russia etc

Anyone fancy another conspiracy theory? Danny lurches far too easily, for my liking, between dimwitted xenophobe and someone showing a knowledge of current affairs (albeit with poor grammar).
Is this another troll? Someone else enjoying a good laugh at the forum's expense? Or just someone who looks things up on the internet as required? Just like Moobs and Baldy, no-one knows him personally.

But how would anyone know him personally? He lives in Wycombe and doesnt support Oxford so never attends games yet strangely chooses to frequently post semi-illiterate political rants on an Oxford United forum. When would anyone have got the opportunity to meet him unless he is a regular in the white horse and was in their before we played Wycombe away this season (unlikely as they seem to employ foreign strippers).
Unless he is your multi yellowhoods and this is your ploy to keep us of the scent? Maybe your Baldy and Moobs to?
