Ok I'll admit this is an unusual subject for a blog based in the North West however hear me out. I half watched a program earlier today about a man trying to bring back indigenous wildlife to Scotland. He wanted to restore his own land back to forest, with Wolves, Bears, Moose (Meese?) and Boars. This program showed just how inflexible our big government has become, because he wanted to fence it off it could not be classified as a nature reserve, and so it would be a Zoo. If it's a Zoo then animals are not allowed to predate on each other so it would have completely missed the point of reverting it back to its natural form. He had to fence it off because understandably his neighbours were somewhat worried about wild wolves and bears. He had trouble with Ramblers because they claim a right to roam over his land so didn't like the fence. It obviously doesn't matter than it's his land!
Here we have a story of a man of means trying to give something back to make something beautiful out of his wealth, and all he faced was frustration from the authorities, and hassle from busy bodies!
So I get to my point, Government should be localised and flexible, there are no one size fits all solutions in politics. Give people the freedom to bend the rules when it benefits others, this is a place where we can educate our children. Revitalise ourselves from the hectic struggle of modern day life. Bring back wildlife that hasn't been seen in this country for hundreds of years.
Lets create something beautiful for generations to follow.
