It is alarming to see the government weaponise official departmental social media accounts to sneer at those who care about nature and the environmental safeguards that protect it.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has consistently and aggressively labelled nature as a blocker to its growth agenda. Its recent post on X – depicting “blockers” as “traitors” from one of the UK’s most-watched TV shows – is a disgrace. It reduces the serious duty of environmental stewardship to the level of an online joke.
