National Trust should get "radical"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-43819762"Radical" sounds very ominous to me. I'm praying this isn't a code word for turning the NT into some politically correct nightmare with a destructive "cultural revolution", ludicrous "decolonisation", racist "purging white history", sexist "anti white male patriarchy". It's fine just as-is - well-managed, profitable, popular, high membership. Change is absolutely NOT needed.
Sounds like social engineering. Social engineers usually destroy everything they get their hands on.
The same organisation afraid of offending someone with the use of the word 'Easter' for an Easter Egg Hunt... at Easter?
Radical indeed.
a great organisation hijacked by corbyns loony left twitter army. afraid to upset anyone's feeling , they pander to the few and wonder why the many desert them. there are many more people in this country who are not that bothered by trial hunting, yet you think your the norm , your not. we care more about the work the N.T. do on our behalf , not who uses the land they own.
What`s her salary and who pays it?
Mrs McGrady is right, radical ideas are needed. May i suggest, to avert the true horror of existence in Theresa May’s Britain, her cataclysmic awfulness projected onto the nation like a pestilence across the land, that the Rothschild's etal properties are given over to the homeless and the children in trust, those who have suffered the consequences of the pyramid scheme of created debts.
It won't matter, they'll have no money due to Brexit
Might be a good idea to try and protect Britain's heritage first, rather that obsessing about politically correct jibberish
Whilst it's true that they need to behave like a business and run themselves in a business-like way (because they are in a competitive arena; plenty of other charities people can spend their money on), the last thing they need is:
Gender/Inclusivity/Quota targets and other such corporate guff.
Otherwise they will alienate their core supporters/members.
By radical does she mean a complete surrender to the nonesense that is political correctness? All that is needed is a retreat from promoting "fashionable" causes e.g. forcing volunteers to support LGBT issues
Comments like Ms McGrady's do make one worry that there is some strategic drift going on here and that the NT risks moving from preserving the nation's heritage to seeing itself as in the business of social engineering.
You can not seriously have the National Trust whilst selling out the country and squashing everything that is British. I thought anything Nation in this country was a hate crime?
Historic England have all but openly campaigned for the destruction of 'offensive' statues in the UK, most notably of late being Nelson's Column. The National Trust had to back-track on forcing its employees to wear the LGBTFRTYUJLT friendly rainbow badge last year
It would appear there is an active campaign within these national bodies. I'd say I was surprised, but that would be a lie.
Bad idea ...Please don't let the "urban" people ruin the Countryside too. They're happy where they are.
I've been a member of the National Trust for years and have enjoyed the history and heritage they protect and maintain for the Nation.
If by going "radical" they want to reach out to people in the inner cities and move focus away from where they are now so as to appeal to the young and inner city "communities" they won't be getting my £114 per year and I guess I'm not alone.
We need to wake up to the threat these common purpose Marxist are posing to our country.
They dominate the heads of public bodies and are goose stepping us towards tyranny.
