It really was incredible, they were absolutely everywhere, the most butterflies I’ve seen in a number of years

That’s a first! 😂

Thank you for your support!

Thank you from us too!

@@LHCRT thanks for providing me with so much content!

That’s why it’s so important to get on CRT and fund Britains waterways and show support. It’s nearly election time and hot topics will become priority

I spoke more about the project in another video so didn’t want to go too hard into that in this video.

Thank you so much for your support

Amazing thank you for your support

Nah you keep your bitey things 😂

@@CourtAboveTheCut That's the trouble with the general run-of-the-mill Enviro-Moslyite these days - absolutely no penchant for Lateral Thinking! 😜😂

It baffles me Brings money into the economy ✅ Short return on investment ✅ Provides diverse habitat ✅ Provides a nature corridor into towns and cities ✅ Provides a place for residential moorings ✅ Provides holiday opportunities in the Uk ✅ Great for mental health and well-being ✅ Brings in tax revenue from all the business it supports ✅ Doesn’t make MPs Rich……. There we go!

The wet and Arun is on my list. It’s not restored with taxpayer funds it’s all grants from things like heritage lottery and probate companies/donations

Until MPs make money from it the canals won’t be on the agenda

Thank you :)

Thanks for watching

There are ship canals in the UK but they are commercially ran. Whilst the narrow canal network could take some goods it wouldn’t be cost efficient. The rail network is the key to removing goods from the roads

Yes I know, that’s the video!

If you get a boat on it I’d be seriously impressed 😂

Short term minor destruction which creates miles of blue and green environment, those saying that having got a clue what they are talking about. Years ago trusts would just rip though and cut it all down but now everything is done with the environment in mind

And trees are the new religion. Self sown trees thrive on abandoned canals and railway tracks much to the delight of the 'ecology is all' lobby ( aided by the Env. Agency) and the frustration of industrial archeologists, navigators and steam buffs.@@CourtAboveTheCut

Maybe we need to vote in politicians who have land with canal routes on them

@@CourtAboveTheCut I agree, I think there needs to be a massive step change into the thinking of how, why & what we do as a country & how our elected MP's do there jobs to aid & benefit the population. Unfortunately a small minority gain the most. I am not looking at the UK becoming a socialist state, but a better, fairer way that we all see the benefits from our hard work & taxation. A fairer economy for all, a better environment for all, better mental health and wellbeing for all.

@@longie751 I remember a chat I had with people who had left roles in government, the exact words were “it doesn’t matter what your intentions are when you start on your journey, the system corrupts you”

@@CourtAboveTheCut power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely..... Says it all, system is broken, it's a shame because there is so much good will from the public and it's wasted because people are fed up with sound bites and hollow promises. I think MP's, councillor's, etc .... they forget who they are there to serve......

@@longie751 that’s the problem, who do you vote for, there’s not one person leading a party now that I want to vote for
