<p>To be accurate John, he didn't say he couldn't be bothered: he said he didn't want to.</p>
<blockquote>Truthfully: no, I don’t want to be a Trustee of the Wildlife Trust. I don’t want to be a police officer either. Or a politician. And I have a right, despite not wanting to do any of these jobs, not to be discriminated against by people who choose to do so - thank you.</blockquote>

<p>Of the 5 members of the Senior Management Team, 5 are white.</p>
<p>Of the 10 members of the Board of Trustees, 10 are white.</p>
<p>Of the 47 people in their team photo, 46 appear to be white.</p>

<p>I'm a runner and I'm entitled to complain about being banned from the wetlands, which was the theme of the thread. You've come along and tried to intimidate me in to not saying what I want to say by making personal comments and using abusive language. Sorry, but I'm not intimidated by you in the slightest. Grow up.</p>

<p>Well perhaps you could moderate the references to " upper middle class white guys " , " privileged old white guys" which is definitely racist and not polite.</p>

<p>Oh, you mean volunteer to be a trustee. Well for myself I already have a full slate of voluntary commitments - volunteering for GoodGym, parkrun (when it's operational) and St Ann's Food Hub on top of a full time job and managing a chronic illness (multiple sclerosis). Running really helps with the last, by the way.</p>

<p>A few weeks have passed now & my initial annoyance at the ban has passed now. It’s been replaced with sadness. I run past the entrance with the Keep Out sign every day and no longer want to go there. For me it’s unwelcoming, non-inclusive and yet another example of privileged old white guys grabbing parts of our area, slapping rules and regulations down in order to take it for their own. I can’t be bothered fighting them and just won’t visit again.</p>
