Spent about an hour moaning like crazy at everyone I can get in touch with. Including questioning UNESCO how they can continue to support the world heritage designation.
Has anyone set up a government petition for this yet? 100k signatures and it has to be looked at in parliament. Surely that should be easy with a bit of a social media push?
Anyone who has Twitter, Facebook or Instagram should be making their thoughts VERY clear on all the official park account, Richard Leafe's personal account, the National Trust, UNESCO and the UNESCOWH accounts. The more exposure this gets the more support it will have.
Off to write to all the broadsheets urging them to cover it more.
I see this as our Hetch Hetchy. Except maybe it's even worse. San Francisco just saw an opportunity to have some of the best drinking water in the world and jumped at it. Where as this is just driven by greed and the short sighted idiocy of an absolute charlatan chief exec who should be removed from his post for even considering any of this.
Yep, still livid.
