I share your pessimism but do feel that we have a duty of sorts to oppose such bills (now that Labour seem to have lost the will to oppose). Once the Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership (TTIP) comes into force, the combined effect of that and the Infrastructure Bill will mean the death of our public amenities. If in 1932 those men and women hadn't turned off the path and climbed the steep slopes of Kinder Scout, to face the gamekeepers, we may not have had any access rights as we know them to protect.


I hadn't been aware of the TTIP until I read your post - have also just received an email from SumOfUs about the their campaign, it included this link -

Thanks mentioning Kinder Scout - a reminder that we are not powerless after all, this land is our land to protect and appreciate.
