God, here we go again. Why are people so bitter and envious about anyone who earns a decent salary? The National Trust should be thanked, along with all those other organisations that oppose building on beautiful green belt countryside. If it wasn't for them we'd all be living in a concrete jungle.
The NT and others do not oppose building per se. They do not oppose building on the thousands of acres of brownfield sites, just where it will impinge on our ever-diminishing and most beautiful countryside, to the detriment of everyone, rich or poor.
Three things I've learned in life: All those who bang on about allowing more building are the most vociferous when the building site eventually ends up at the bottom of their garden.
All those who bang on about Britain's 'Compensation Culture' and Greedy Lawyers' are the first to run to a law firm when they've suffered an accident.
All those who bang on about greedy businesses and excess profits (I wish!) are usually the meanest and greediest people themselves who'll go to inordinate lengths to save a penny!
Funny old world isn't it, full of hypocrites and mean-spirited folk whose main passion is the politics of envy and who can accuse an organisation such as the NT of 'forcing people to live on 62p a day' just because they (the NT) believe that Britain will be a better place for all if we keep some green spaces! That's one hell of a leap of logic!
One thing's for sure, the owner of this site will never take a massive salary whilst there are people out there too mean to pay a measly fifteen quid a year to help support it. Perhaps they think that it's already making him a millionaire? After all, all businessmen are filthy rich aren't they? It's really easy in business and none of us ever go bust!
