Plus one on the Labour U turn count.... 07:38 - Oct 25 with 759 views

'Labour has U-turned on its pledge to create a Scottish-style right to roam in the English countryside if elected, the Guardian can reveal.

Instead of an assumed right of access, the party now says it will find other ways to create more access to land in England, after opposition from some landowners’ groups.'

Some landowners weren't keen, who could possibly have guessed it?

Er, would they not have known they’d have to take on landowners to implement it? They seem incredibly naive if not.

Mr Bonner of the Countryside Alliance coming across as a right bellend there. “Attack on the countryside” lol.

Poll:

Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

Yes but imagine all the votes that might threaten!

Woody Guthrie and Ewan MacColl have written songs about this issue.

As I was walking, I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing"
But on the other side it didn't say nothing
That side was made for you and me!

The day was just ending and I was descending
Down Grindsbrook just by Upper Tor
When a voice cried "Hey you" in the way keepers do
He'd the worst face that ever I saw
The things that he said were unpleasant
In the teeth of his fury I said
"Sooner than part from the mountains
I think I would rather be dead"

He called me a louse and said "Think of the grouse"
Well I thought, but I still couldn't see
Why all Kinder Scout and the moors roundabout
Couldn't take both the poor grouse and me
He said "All this land is my master's"
At that I stood shaking my head
No man has the right to own mountains
Any more than the deep ocean bed.

The Countryside Alliance - such a waste of syllables.
