[QUOTE="Red Fred, post: 5744840, member: 189"] I'm not sure that there is a unified "common sense" movement in the countryside. I remember at the time of the Countryside March nearly 20 years ago, the local estates and countryside organizations put on coaches to take everyone to London.There was a feeling in the air that we were part of a movement taking country values to the townies. However,the reality, as it seems to me , is that the unity was an illusion. Deep down, I have no real affinity with foxhunters or snipe shooters, although I respect their views. It just isn't for me. The fishing folks came with us on the day, but they have become rabidly anti-agriculture on their diary blog as they look for reasons for the decline of the fish in the river. The landlord who encouraged us all to get together on the march for country values (ie his shooting :) )has served notice on all his grazing tenants to enable him to rewild the valley and take the payments for capital work on his fishing channels- he openly tells us that farming on the estate is dead and the future lies in fishing money and leisure, so the sooner we go, the better. The horsey folks who came along have their own agenda, and farming and horsey girls don't always get along if the livery threads on here are anything to go by. Now, everyone I meet is perfectly intelligent and knowledgeable about their own areas of interest, but all have differing views and aims. Just look at these B+++++ threads . Just because folks have polarised views doesn't mean they are unintelligent or insincere, but I don't see a unified party. [/QUOTE]
