Everyone in the UK has a legitimate interest in the very fabric of our nation, the land. But the great majority has been alienated from us, as a small number of people claim exclusive property and rights in it. With the exception of Scotland, we are trespassers in our own country
I would love to see the rights enjoyed in Scotland - a general right to roam and community buy outs - extended to the rest of the UK. We would benefit greatly from a more balanced pattern of ownership and more democratic decision making. All this and more: landforthemany.uk
How many people in this country approve of the torching of vast areas and the killing of predators and many other species to favour red grouse? Very few, I bet. Yet it happens. How can we call ourselves a democracy when the few can override the many on decisions like this?
