Restore Trust

I'm going to join the right wing, Tufton St funded Restore Trust organisation that's designed to subvert the National Trust and whitewash the nastier aspects of our old landowning aristocracy and capitalists.

Last weekend, we were staying in the motorhome at a fishing lake near Portsmouth, where we were due to go for a school reunion on the Saturday evening. A bit of a ramshackle place, but tranquil.

I thought this sign on the fishing shop on site was a bit unsporting and not exactly concomitant with the ethos of Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer.

While there we thought we'd visit a National Trust property on Saturday and the nearest was a place called Hinton Ampner, not too far from Winchester.

It was only when we drove through the gates that we realised we'd already been there last month when visiting No.2 Son in Winchester. Obviously we're getting old and forgetting where we've been. However, it's a beautiful and comfortable house with gorgeous gardens.

The last couple of photos above is a lovely yew hedge that's been carved into a beautiful, undulating cloud formation.

Anyway, the bloody cafe was closed, so I'm going to join Restore Trust. No more of this slavery and exploitation of the masses left-wing lawyer, BBC, tofu-eating wokery - just get the bloody cafe's open! What on earth do they think people visit NT properties for, if not to be fleeced in the cafe for average, yet exorbitantly priced grub? I shall demand change.

The fact these places were built on the backs of exploited workforces is immaterial now anyway - we own the vast majority of it through the National Trust and are free to tramp all over the houses and gardens of these running dogs of capitalism and the exploitative inheritors of the Norman yoke, where our grandparents toiled for a pittance, rather than be condemned to a short life by working in the owner's desperately unsafe mine or quarry.
