Monbiot wants Scottish "Right to roam" across all the UK
Say's subsidies mean farmers should maintain RoW's better
CLA spokesman is very good at rebutting him.

Nobody will be getting subs soon.
Anyway, as I understand it, the problem is folks not sticking to the ROW's and trampling crops ? Different thing to maintaining existing ROW's ? Unless he wants them all fenced with security fencing ?
Well I'm a trail blazer then. 14 years ahead of the game.

Right to roam would be fine if it was applied in the correct way.
If private land is included, that should include everyone's gardens.
If it's applied to land used for "business purposes" such as farmland, it should include all car parks and commercial premises. Fancy a stroll around Buck House gardens anyone?

This really winds me up, when the UK has 160,000 miles of footpaths and bridleways (not including green lanes).
I'm sure no other country has this much public access to cultivated land.

George Monbiot wound me up ( again ) so sent a text in saying that increasing public access resulted not only in damaging livelihoods but also the environment. People roaming everywhere drop litter, tie doggy bags to hedges and trample wildlife strips with no regard to the damage their doing. Needless to say it didn’t get read out.
if you used your name as ''Simon from Kent''. Then you had no chance of getting red out. If however you were Tarquin from the boruogh market in Luunnddooonnn'' then you would have been read out

Need to release a lot of wolves, bears and huge wild boar. No one would even want to walk the footpaths then...
Or just farm in the nuddy which i belive has been suggested before.....

Politics or History degree from Durham University- so can’t be all bad
Politics....well yes that says a lot. Blokes an idiot
Last time I looked on the title deeds the land here all belonged to me. I do not want any Tom, Dick, Harry or Fanny walking around it at their pleasure. Why should I give free access to my property?
When I looked at my marriage certificate Mrs An Gof was married to me and I wouldn’t be happy about free access to her either

My old grandad use to say that before a farmer married a horse girl, he should go round and see her spread. I think it is a very wise course to follow even today.When I looked at my marriage certificate Mrs An Gof was married to me and I wouldn’t be happy about free access to her either
