Worst Environment Secretary ever?

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Liz Truss,

 

Is there no end to her incompetence?

 

I'm nearly a year behind in hearing about her lifting the ban on certain pesticides.

She has single-handedly trashed the renewables market too...

You just need to read her employment history on wiki. Then you know she'll always side with big business's and banks. She has no interest in environmental issues.

Met her personally, she isn't the nicest person either...

We as a nation voted the fools in, therefore it is only to be expected.

There has been a devastating report on the incompetence of the RPA under her leadership.

 

We farmers are perceived by the public as having subsidies for doing nothing, but compared to these civil servants on £150,000 a year plus bonus and pensions packages that we can only dream of, we are not in the same league.

 

One of potentially beneficial schemes to arb workers is the woodland grant scheme. This generally costs us land owners a lot to clear up a neglected wood for replanting so we tend to leave it as there is never enough money to justify employing tree surgeons and forestry staff.

 

By their incompetence they have lost £640 million to the EU in fines over the past few years for late payments. They managed to pat themselves on the back for paying out just £13 million to woodlands.

 

Just think of the good that the £640 million would have done for the UK arb industry

 

Here are some quotes and depressing reading.

 

"In addition, the Forestry Commission has also paid out over two thirds (70%) of capital payments, totalling £13 million to woodland owners to protect, improve and expand woodlands in England. They have also paid out over 50% of valid annual claims worth just under £6 million and work is ongoing to pay outstanding valid annual claims as soon as possible."

 

Farmers and taxpayers failed by dysfunctional leadership - News from Parliament - UK Parliament

"Explanations such as 'We worked on different floors' and 'We dressed differently' are a slap in the face to them and a dismal excuse for failures that could severely hit the public purse"

Worst environment secretary ever?

Well, I put her on a par or slightly beneath the previous one; Owen Paterson.

 

....and she's just one element of our 'Corruptist Government Ever'.

Cheers, Steve

I don't know enough about her, but him, beyond contempt!

 

Should we have a "Most inept Civil servant" thread?

 

I'd nominate Dame Disaster as my candidate!

Funny cos I thought OwenP was way better than LT? He took the hit after the Somerset floods despite doing good in other areas? I'm no expert. I read that LT knackered the Solar Farm thing; tbh I can't stand seeing fields covered in panels, just looks wrong.
