Very much agree with what you have written tsc. All a bit of a worry. Not a good road to go down for anyone. Guessing the big landowners would like it maybe. Just feels wrong to me.
On a lighter note and completely off topic (maybe) I came across this poem today and really loved it. By Oli Hazzard, based on entries to hillbagging website page for Edmund's Tump! Thought you might like it :-)
