"the trust are human and prone to errors" does that defence work the other way round or do you find yourself hounded for years and dragged through court

big link I think, the culture of large organisations seems to think "we are the righteous, therefore we can only do right, therefore everything we do is right", this gives no room for reflection or even thinking they could be wrong, then when they are wrong, as scapegoat is found to resign in ignominy, culture remains the same and the cycle continues.

30 years ago or so the RSPBbought a big farm on the peat on the island of Islay off the west coast of Scotland. It was home to a cracking herd of suckler cows and some very rare and endangered species of birds, hence the desire of RSPB to own this farm . Cows were summered out on the peat fields and wintered inside in a very good steading.. All worked well .
First thing RSPB do is sell off the cows, around 250 iirc. What happens next? Yep the endangered birds all start to disappear and the farm starts to fall into disrepair. Cue complete volte face 4 years later and theRSPB start having to buy back into suckler cows, at significantly more money than they sold the original herd for, but by this time the damage had been done .
Amazing what these”charities” can get away with and no one seems to be able to question them

The notion that nt etc can trot out the "lessons will be learned" line, and a few bums move to different seats while it's all brushed under the carpet flies in the face of what their response would be to others doing the same thing.

Crossthreading a little, but there was mention that the late DofE had views about that sort of thing, and took pains to speak truths unto businesses.

Be a great place to metal detect now it has been ploughed wouldn't it @JCMaloney
I’ve got a slightly different take on this...
Yes, it shows NT’s woke hypocrisy and desperate virtue signalling in a poor light, which many on here will be happy to see.
But it also highlights the BBC’s latest departure from being a news and light entertainment broadcaster, to being a militant mouthpiece for ‘new Puritanism’ where they seek to be able to ‘cancel’ any organisation and landowner / tenant who does what they are legally allowed to do with their own land.
Dredge your own stretch of river: the BBC will try their hardest to act as judge, jury and if they could, executioner.

“No legal action to be taken” reported the press, eventually, this past January. No sh!t.
The story isn’t about reseeding a field of rank grass in the Lakes. The real story is that it’s time to de-fund the BBC.

What’s the truth about the farmer who fell victim to a media hate-fest?
Have you heard about John Price destroying a stretch of the river Lugg? If not, you have led a sheltered existence. This month, Mr Price, who lives in the Luggside farm he was born in 66 years ago, in Kingsland, Herefordshire, has been attacked by the BBC (who ran denunciations of him unnamed)...
