The people of England need to reassess their relationship with Parliament, before they lose all their rights.
Might be better to burn down the Parliament and start fresh, especially with the numpties that are running it now..
Parliament IS your rights as a citizen. Those MPs sat in Whitehall represent your interests.
This has only happened because a Conservative Majority of MPs has allowed it. Opposition parties cannot block it because the moronic public gave the Conservatives a majority for all decisions that affect the Country.
Don't vote for an 80 seat majority for a bunch of hooray henrys who are sympathetic to their friends (land owners).

The system works just enough to make people not sense that they live really fragile lives in the UK, since privatisation and dependency on government for their livelihoods. When the system shows signs of failure, you start to see the cracks and chaos, (lockdown rush). In africa the system doesn't work, almost like there is none, but the government and private ownership hasn't taken over entirely, so people are not dependent on the government economic provision to live, they make their own livelihood because the rest of their country is accessible to them. So although dusty, they live more robust lives.
I couldn't be less of a hippy but i support these good people 1000% for their bravery in standing up to an odious little bully because he has "more money"
Also it's not about Parliament its about who controls the money and the abuse they get away with...buy bitcoin...it takes the power away from these sort of "paper money rich" pricks
Wild camping should be extended across the country! Our nature isn’t for the few it’s for us all! We should all be allowed to sleep under the stars if we want!
We live in a country that bizarrely continues to make a flower illegal (nature). A country run by dinosaurs.
Camping/Sleeping isn't the problem, defecating is. Littering is.
But no one should be privately holding 4000acres in the tiny overcrowded island of Great Britain, especially in areas like Dartmoor. National Park it and create free camp areas with free amenities like they do in the rest of Europe...
@weird science not on private land I'd wager...like this is...
I thought there were less rights of way and rights to roam in Scotland than England because you had your own Kings, Lairds and laws for so long the English right to roam never transposed on your sparser population...
@@jimbob-robob Nah as long as you aren't being a dick about it (like trying to camp in active growing fields or peoples gardens, because we DO have strict trespass laws or chopping down trees and letting campfires get out of control) you can camp pretty much anywhere in Scotland and if the landowner tries to kick you off the land, just show them your one-finger permit and threaten to get in touch with the council's access warden.
@@jimbob-robob in Scotland we could walk right across that landowners estate and he couldn't do a damn thing about It. Land reform act 2003 allows us responsible land access for hiking and camping.
One thing that *warmed* me. My friend and I were following a path in Sussex. It seemed to us that in order to continue following we would have to go through a gate, follow a path around a house, duck under a clothesline and climb over a back fence. It couldn't be right. At this point we were... confused.
Then a window opened, a face appeared, and a voice said yes we should come in and yes the path did go through the garden.
The voice told us that the cottages, theirs being one, were built, early 1920s, to cut the path. The voice then told us that in the 60s a cottage owner realised what had happened and opened it up again. They were the third owners since and were committed to the path.
They apologised for it being unclear but they were repainting the sign which usually hung on the front gate. With that they displayed the still damp sign. 🙂
Have come across many situations of this around Sussex during trail running. I've had 3 interactions with the owners of ~15 instances. 2 were positive, 1 negative. The negative encounter, the house was on the market a couple of weeks later. If you don't want people walking through your garden, don't buy a house with a right of way through it.
@@JamesTombs 👍
That was heart warming to hear.
@@JamesTombs Would they have been so nice if you had not given them respect? That seems to be the issue these days.
@@rogersmith8339 possibly not. One of the positive experiences, I actually got lost in their garden and ended up knocking on their door at 8pm mid-week. They were very nice and pointed me in the correct direction and how to get back on the path.
The negative one was an odd one. I went through 2 fields then climb a stile into a back garden, go diagonal to another stile which leads to the front garden of another house. There's a 4m long path to another stile which goes out on to the road but I ran directly down their driveway through the open gate which was around 6m, purely because the gate was open and I didn't want to tread on the daffodils that were planted where the public footpath should have been. Owner was the other side of the house and started shouting at me to get off their driveway and use the footpath. So I did and ended up trampling a few of their daffodils which was unavoidable. I don't know why they got so irate but they obviously ended up moving somewhere else and I've not encountered the new owners.
I agree, camping is great and should be a fundamental right.
Not in someone's private property, When those illegal immigrants come to your country you all goes mad and said "europe is for europeans" just like that those private properties belongs to its owner and his family not yours
@@BondJFK When you need to make up a fantasy version of your opponent to make yup an imaginary hypocrisy to counter them you know theyre in the right
@@BondJFK Private property, don't make me laugh. The whole world is private property, you gonna sit in your metaverse and be a good little prole in order to stay off your master's 'private property'?
@@BondJFK There's a difference from being able to camp in the middle of nowhere and being flooded by 100s of thousands of immigrants each year radically changing the culture and country forever.
Just to say, John, you’re a beacon of hope and voice of reason during these crazy times. Love your commentaries and analyses of all things covid-related and the balance you bring to the conversation. Much respect!
Grew up camping and hiking in the Aussie bush and outback. You can spend days, weeks if you really want and, not see anyone. It’s primal and good for the soul to do these things. In a country as crowded as the UK it’s essential to have some places left where you can spend a night under the stars. Good luck to you all!
The pommy Eureka Stockade!
Fun fact, wild camping is illegal in Queensland.
Thank God you have the outback, your right of passage laws and camping laws are far stricter in lots of your states. My Aussie girlfriend was surprised about our right to roam law, whilst we were walking through horse fields and sheep fields.
I think it's illegal in Ireland too but it's just another law that's completely ignored and never enforced.
Pointless.
These are the indigenous people of the land
Imagine if Australia tried to lock Aboriginals out of further areas in 2023
The importance of culturally significant land isn't limited to skin colour or race
This must be fought against. Stopping the people from using the countryside is a major factor in controlling our movements.
They're not,you can still walk in it, just legally not camp, but that is the same EVERYWHERE, peaks,lakes,dales etc,but everybody wildcamps anyway.

I think these times are about ownership of people. As a Scottish person I know about how the people where shipped from the Highlands of Scotland to make way for more profitable sheep. To quote Brian McNeil " they still prefer sheep to thinking men but men that think like sheep are even better"

I always felt great after sleeping outdoors turns out there's actual research that shows its good for your body to be earthed to natural ground
I couldn’t care less about the judges nor this hedge fund manager opinion. I’ll continue to camp on Dartmoor and other area throughout the UK but it is brilliant that so many people turned up for this! ❤
so now you're going to camp in a trampled shit 'ole!

I've been wild camping on Dartmoor twice every year in Spring and late Autumn since 1979, and in all those decades have only missed 2 years, (and I had a good excuse), and, I have to admit, I will continue to do so for as long as I am physically and mentally able to. Stealth camping shouldnt be a problem. In 40 years, Ive only met 7 other individuals on the moor doing it. I have heard tell over the years of small communes dwelling wild on the moor for extended periods, but Ive only ever seen their "leavings", never them. I have also heard awful stories about giant cats, wild dogs, and car thefts, but Ive always parked 5 to 7 miles from where I camp, my motorcycle/car have never been touched, never been stalked by a panther, or heard howling or barking during the nights. Wild camping should always be stealthy. Its much less fun when it isnt.
What about those elusive Giant Water Goblins people murmer about ?
i've been a few feet away from a big cat - the growl is like surround sound in the dark. i thought it was someone playing a cruel prank but my mum saw a black panther on the fields a few weeks later.
power to the people. This is a great act of social justice.
I have only just found this …Thank you to all who protested, we all need to stand up to our ever diminishing rights

The lady at 2:50 is absolutely right to call our current system what it is; Neo-Feudalism
Yes, but there are degrees of neo-feudalism
Absolutely!
@bina nocht they did yea, and they paid as much attention to it as the current govt does - in fact the idea of proroguing parliament whenever it does something like try to do it's job and stop people like Bojo stealing sovereignty from the population is a feudal idea.
Well no, its absolutely nothing like feudalism. Its just capitalism and private property.
No fcking shit.
We've been telling you this for years.
But when it relates to vaccines, being locked in your home and having passports you people don't care.
Wild camping all over the UK, but PLEASE take your litter with you.
Lol are you joking, they leave their shit everywhere and bring their dogs
Don’t worry too much about mr & Mrs slob spoiling it for the real wild campers. They will never go to the hard won spots that are impossible to reach by car. Open up this very small country for all. If any of you wealthy landowners want to come and trample over my front/back garden, then please do. Please respect my crops as I respect yours. Please leave no trace and take all your litter home with you. 🫶

These creatures are beneath contempt. I can't think of a bad enough word to describe them!
How garbage could that money man be to buy some land and then take it away from the people.
You should look up "The Enclosures Acts" when the tory govt [mostly] took the land of the peasants and gave it to their mates
The farm land in Briton was stolen from the people of Briton - thats why farmers always vote tory
there is only one solution for people like that, unfortunately. their mind is poisoned with selfishness from which there is only one cure, the French figured it out in 1789.

So stop being a m0r0n and learn what the hell you are angry about.
I cannot fathom how a person could think their individual sense of entitlement to their wealth and land are more important than the rights of everyone else in the country. It's almost childish. This is "mine" therefore you can't have it.
They view themselves as superior, with their wealth being proof. They despise those of lesser means and would happily see them erased.
The problem these days is everyone seems to admire obscenely wealthy people like Elon musk and the like. They are not the nice people everyone thinks they are.
This is what happens when your nation is ruled by greedy liars.
Can I camp in your garden
@@Koi-addict33 if my garden was 300 square miles, yes.
Respect to the interviewer keeping it professional and keeping a straight face while he interviewed a man in a tent. 🤣

Is camping such a novel concept that you find it hard to keep a straight face?
@@badethics7542 only when I see a grown man in a tent where you can't see the person and you can ONLY hear a voice. It was a joke mate. Chill. 😏🙄😃
I find it more ridiculous that you cannot see the world being bought up around you than a man protesting in a tent.
@@Sralit care to explain? As the comment makes no sense. 😏🙄
I had a beautiful little spot that I used to wild camp with my dad when I was a kid. We tried it again when I was a teenager and we were rudely evicted by a ranger. I would love to take my kids to camp there but we'll have to see.
As long as people are clean, quiet and tidy and are aware of the countryside code, respect landowner property whilst on the land and keep safe, we should be able to walk wherever we like within reason and camp too.
Thankyou every last person. The more of us there is the better. Once there's enough, ie a massive awakening we win. It's that simple.
I stamped down a fence across a rural right of way so many times during the late 80s and early 90s, eventually, it was replaced by a gate, which has also since disappeared in my little part of South Wales. Nowadays, the land owners who in many cases are what's left of the National Coal Company, put up fences and signs that warn of dangerous mine shafts and so on. This is done in an effort to open cast the land at a later date, prior to any future planning permission or development, and the land is labelled as Brown Field stock, or ex Industrial. I have camped amongst mountain streams under mature Oak's all my life on this mountain side landscape and now, in my 50s, I still stamp down fences. How can I possibly be trespassing in my own back garden. Heddwch / Peace in Welsh. Keep on keeping on camping on OUR land.
Good on you. I do the same if I’m sure of the circumstances, and am in the same part of the world as you by the sounds of it. Last year I was in the vicinity of Fan Fawr I noticed that next to a stile the bottom of a fence had been pulled up a bit (so dogs could go under, instead of having to be lifted over) which is very common to see. Unfortunately in this instance I spotted that there was two or three strands of barbed wire stomped into the turf underneath the gap for dogs so they were poking out but not fully visible, presumably put there by the landowner to punish dogs who went under the fence. Could easily of damaged paws, belly’s, and genitals of dogs and I was furious. I did consider reporting it but felt that was a waste of time so instead let’s just say I took direct action. I can think of another time where I found a purposefully locked old wooden gate and misleading home made signs blocking a right of way and in a rage I kicked the gate until all of the rails fell off and then I threw them all in waist high stingy nettles in the woods nearby. I can’t defend my behaviour but sometimes you just have to take action there and then.
Well done mate, ldve done the same.
MSM will label campers as protesters, lunatics & terrorists... or shot as poachers ffs.
They want us back in the Victorian era to Laird it over us again.
There's NO power without control mate.
You don't own it, its not your garden.
@Andrew Whelan But its not your land. How would you like it if someone bashed your garden fence down and started squatting on the lawn?
@@joeblogs6598 I'm talking about a fence through an ancient trackway, used by walkers and horse riders long before I was born. People moved into an end terrace cottage and attempted to annex some land for themselves, thus cutting off the path. They just didn't like people walking past their house.
*AS A BRIT LIVING IN BULGARIA* it is astonishing to me how many things here are FREE

You dont need any money to have a nice day out here...
Hope you are enjoying it take care
It was like that in Britain during the 1970s. It was Thatcher during the 1980s that took back everything we had all paid for in our taxes and then they tried to sell it cheaply to their friends who would then rent everything to us every month at higher prices. British gas, electricity, water, telephone, parks turned into apartment blocks, council pools and leisure centres closed and expensive private ones built in their place, etc.
The teeny weeny downside is wages being a fraction of Western Europe.
We absolutely love Bulgaria..

Not "Elites" - this is a dumb word bandied about by very thick people. What you meant to say was "Conservatives".
Whenever I do a long distance hike or just a night or two, in England including Dartmoor, I wildcamp 95% of the time and 100% of the time in most cases. I've never been spoken to and I'm never going to stop. It's that straightforward to me. Leave the ground as you found, don't take the piss in general and there is nothing to be concerned about.
THEMS THE RULES and i wont be breaking them nor stopping going where i want any time soon
Exactly
I agree with the spirit of your post but history shows that ignoring legal changes like this will result in you being barred and prosecuted . There is lots to be concerned about.
@@directorstu I'm not sure what you could get barred from. I'm not going to be giving my name and address out to random strangers anytime soon, so unless they were going to stalk me all the way home I can't see anything happening. Personally I'm completely unworried by this development, others may be concerned. Totalitarianism is just a dream for some fortunately.
Yeah. It's not as if Ghillies are roaming all over the place.
Good to see people slowly waking up to the fact that their freedoms were continuously suppressed by their overlords over centuries in the country that also belongs to them.
I’m not a lefty but the fact a hedge fund believes it has the right to dictate who can and cannot camp on the land is disturbing. A poxy hedge fund, the same apparatus that caused the economic crisis in 2008.
Time to repeal the Enclosure act and give the land that was stolen back to the commons
The rich think the world belongs to them, pathetic
It does though. The illusion people have of freedom now has been carefully crafted.

It largely does.
Get the tories OUT
Nobody ever talks about the English Enclosures in school history lessons. The Highland Clearances and Ulster Plantations came later and were better documented. Before the enclosures English people had grazing rights on much common land before it was stolen from us. The English were the first victims of the British Empire before it was inflicted on the Scots, Irish and Welsh and then the people of the Empire but many of them wrap themselves in red, white and blue and are too daft to recognise it.
And now the empire has crumbled, the British have turned on he British again.
A doormat nation ruled by rich mummies boys who have their arse stuffed with money from racist billionaire newspaper owners who don't pay tax in the UK.
M.Coombs ! Spot on !
Time for payback with a vengeance!
We were taught about enclosures in GCSE history, so you're wrong. But yes, it is incredibly important that we never forget how much of an impact it had.
And were alll given booze as a coping strategy
They are taught in school. It is background to the industrial reveolution.
When you take away all private and state land, it's amazing how small a space we actually operate in.
We are confined to roads and parks. 99% of land is unsccessible.
"The obscene idea that wealth can steal freedoms away from us" - this is only the beginning mate, you watch!

We are the millions and if we say enough there isn't much they can do. We done people.
"Neo feudalism" Nice one!! But, the land-aristocracy got their land by the policy of Enclosure, which basically was the putting-up of a fence, to keep cattle in on public-land and then applying for ownership of this land by an act of parliamnet given to the applicant by the government of the day. 99% of those that use this Tory fiddle were members of parliament. This was in the days when framers farmed public land and yeomen were smallholders. The Tory Enclosure fiddle, turned framers into farmhands with on land to farm and yeomen into framers, but with a change of work status; they were now working as framers, for the now Enclosure owners of the land. It was one big Tory fiddle to steal public-land from the public.

Why don't we start at the root of the problem? Who sold him the land? Why did they sell him land if he's not allowed to own it? Can the state purchase the land back to declare it public? Can he sue the seller for selling land that cannot be owned? Someone set this situation up and profited from it; the land seller. The people feel screwed, the land owner feels screwed. One guy walked away with a ton of money. Who was it?
Do remember that part of that 92% is YOUR front/back garden at home..... So be carefull what you wish for.
Dartmoor should not be sold to anyone as it belongs to the public. And we have the right to roam and camp on any public green land.
The council do not own the land!
If the council owned the land it would belong to the public. However, it’s owned by an individual, therefore, that individual can do as he wishes with his land.
@@dirtbiker1745 It should not have been sold in the first place. It's rediculous that mass swathes of land are sold for money at the expense of the public.
Hopefully, the people of the land will soon reclaim their property, which is rightfully theirs!
@@dirtbiker1745 They don't own it. They stole it. It will be returned.
@@robertpirsig5011 they are sold to fund public spending on the public
More power to the people Enough is Enough
The working taxpayers ought to be the highest bidders
Having to talk about 'highest bidders' shows that England's legal system is corrupt.
This is the irony that drives me nuts, the people of this country getting shafted constantly by those we Pay to head the country. It's time we had change.
@@lenkiewitcz We have allowed it, so yes we need to stop it!
I wonder who pays the most tax in this country? Yes, that’s right. Those with a lot of money. Keep whining about equal pay blah blah blah but it’s those at the top who’ve made the most sacrifices. It’s not up to some jumped up kid who wants to camp on someone’s garden like a child…
@@yanapostrophe4331 That's not actually true...those on highest bracket are paying a 10th of the nations income tax whereas those on highest bracket and above are also more likely to be using tax breaks and loop wholes. Jumped up kids i'll ignore.
I salute each and every one of you - this is a hugely important issue. Why wasn't the media there, didn't see a thing on the BBC?
Well done to all involved. It’s another step in the right direction
This is OUR LAND, time to reclaim and protect it from these oligarchs
And the ethnics!
Are wealthy people not 'us'?
What about YOUR home? How would you feel if you were legally forced to allow anyone to sleep on your front lawn?
@@sprinklesmtb Completely different situation and context.
@@ibrahimkuyumcu2649 no. You not owner of your country. You cant do whatever you like
This land is given to me and you by God just like the air we breath ...
True. Didn't belong to anyone, simply stolen!
I feel for the chap at the end who nearly choked on his body's need to cry when asked if he had hope. He didn't cry and said strongly, yes, you have to, don't you. Good on him!! I'd flatly look at my feet and say no. I'm so glad I watched this. Still not convinced there is hope but hugely heartening to see a large number of people turn up to say no to something so grotty
I have never knowingly broken the law in my lifetime! When I see and hear as to what is happening on and around Dartmoor is like going back to medieval times when land owners had the right to all game and wood for fires. It makes my blood boil when I see an elitist segment of society who have made money by what ever means seem to think that massive tracts of this country belong to them. They are only custodians! By all means look after the land and manage it. This country and all its fields and mountains belong to all this countries people who should have the right to access it and not be dictated to by a very small minority who think that they are some feudal lord. I would willing break the law now to see this ruling overturned and allow everyone access to overnight camping on the moors. This country seems to be on a downward spiral to the have and have not. The small minority who have the financial clout to change laws should realise that they are not the majority and the ordinary populous when pushed will react to such laws.
Yes! Rock on 💚✌️
Wild camping on Dartmoor was the last thing I did to celebrate my country of birth before emigrating 13 years ago. DON’T TAKE AWAY NATURE FROM THE PEOPLE.
The British government hate Britain. Fact. They only like 3 things: the NHS, trannies, and foreigners.
I truly wish the cause for free wild camping success. Its terrible that some private owner can hold this sacred ground to them selves. There be nothing stopping them from building anything they want after that.
What about your home? How would you feel if you were legally forced to allow anyone to sleep on your front lawn?
Honestly have to be so utterly stupid. You clearly have no idea what you're asking for.
Yeah, we aren't going to get rid of property.
You don't deserve access to somebody else's property just because you want to. tf.
How about you let me camp in your house?
Oh what a shock, now you believe in property rights.
Fckin hypocrite.
@@sprinklesmtb This is a spurious argument, rehashed many times over the decades by those who wish to restrict access to what was open, common land.
Nobody here is advocating open access to anywhere and everywhere, including your front lawn.
The point is that this person has dominion over land IN A NATIONAL PARK, to which he wants to restrict access in order to repurpose the land for pheasant rearing (and then shooting) in order to make PERSONAL PROFIT.
By any measure this is obscene and absurd and must be contested.
Would you honesty be bothered if your front lawn was 4,000 square acres?
This is the first time I've heard about this, shameful but unsurprising that it wasn't covered on the mainstream news channels
I heard about this on the BBC it was widely covered.
Mmmmm WHO SOLD THEM THE LAND ??? IT NEVER BELONGED TO ANYBODY IN ORDER TO SELL IN THE FIRST PLACE ,🤔 BUT THEN ,WE DO HAVE PEOPLE SELLING PEOPLE ,WHAT A WORLD WE LIVE IN .
Right to Roam is exactly that, a right. Shame on that judge.
Roaming hasn't changed you simply can't camp on private land
@@Koi-addict33 what are you angry about?
@@wrek politics mainly you? Lol
What about your home? How would you feel if you were legally forced to allow anyone to sleep on your front lawn?
@@sprinklesmtb "At the turn of the 17th Century, lawns were becoming more popular amongst the wealthy aristocrats across Europe, with designers of mansions and palaces like Versailles incorporating lawns into the grounds. Back in those days, anyone who was rich enough to own land was considered extremely wealthy, and landowners quickly realised that using their land recreationally, rather than for farming, could use their lawns as a status symbol. At a time when food was scarce and we relied on local farmers much more, being able to afford land for pleasure was a big deal."
Fuck Lawns, I have a tiny meadow.
In Scotland there are National Parks where wild camping is allowed (with some minor restrictions, e.g. around shore of Loch Lommond). Many countries have some similar form of National Park system where people have the right to roam and camp. Maybe this is what England needs to reserve areas of land for public access?
Any unenclosed land is fine for wild camping except some of the national park at Loch Lomond.
Most.of Scotland is owned by a Dane I read.
@@partidaportet27 not sure on that one tbh but yes like England there is huge landowners but Scotland has got a community right to buy scheme to buy back the land from the owner
There are some areas in Scotland where camping is restricted to permits.
The majority of Scotland you can camp pretty much where you like.
Don't let these rats steal your rights.
@@partidaportet27 half the private land in Scotland is owned by a few hundred people, its true.
Andy Wightmans book, The Poor Had No Lawyers talks about this.
Dartmoor should be free!
It is
We have right to roam here in Scotland. The rest of Britain should have the same. Nothing less will do.
Don't stop there, TAKE BACK THE 4000 ACRES! As a hedge fund manager, he has aquired that wealth sheerly by avarice, this has to end everywhere.
I live in ireland now, home of my parents and ancestors...but I have fond memories of my childhood in the wilds of Wiltshire and the small village of Corsham. On returning to meet my sister, I was disgusted to find ancient woods fenced off for weekend cottages.A cottage and tennis court built in the middle of trees and ancient scrub/bushes...the anger I felt.These wealthy outsiders have taken over the whole village the local councils and all relevant structures.These outsiders will contribute nothing only consume because that's all they know...as an a aside I was barred the second bar I walked into, living in the North at the time no one bothered with drinking times...so when I was told to move 'right now' I reminded him he had a wedding reception on therefore had extention...didn't like that..keep on sister's and brother's save freedom of movement.In Scotland they have free to roam act...tell a Scots person you can't trespass and...
Aww f that. Get a jack hammer or what ever they're called and destroy that tennis court and pull down those fences. Cheeky cun ts.
Yea I grew up in London and it’s now been colonised by the 3rd world to provide cheap labour for these rich people you hate. Of course everybody in this video supports unlimited migration and population growth, as they lack any critical thinking whatsoever
My introduction to Dartmoor was through the Ten Tors Expeditions. I remember the excitement of that first early morning waiting for the gun to be fired, looking up at Rough Tor, West Mill Tor and Yes Tor in the distance, our first objective. With the slight mist it was absolutely magical. When in the Royal Marines Reserve I always looked forward to training there. I first took my son out on Dartmoor when he was eight and on many occasions after. I now have a four year old grand-daughter and I would like her to have the same opportunities and experience the magic of the tor silhouettes during the sun rises and sun sets and the myriad weather types so typical to be found in one day. What has happened is not right. Wild camping, carrying all with you, and moving on the next morning, is a simple pleasure, does no harm to wildlife or environment. Indeed, it is precisely that that wild campers seek to enjoy, along with the solitude. The law must be changed. Yes, there have to be safeguards, but it worked before, so it can work again. It must!
Great Post!
Best we. Push back and have the right. To camp. Everywhere once. Again
After years of being unchallenged over many many years this should be common ground now. We have every right to enjoy what's ours, including our countryside.
In the old days, when people treated others like this, they were drug from their homes and punished in the streets. Freedom isn't free. You have to take it. If you are not willing to take it, you don't deserve it. This is the VERY REASON America Exists. Do you want freedom? Or do you want to be the ones left behind?
We’re second only to Brazil for unfair land distribution. The Royals own 1% of our land. King Charles should make them national parks for the people!!!!
It's not enough for the super wealthy to be rich. Others must have nothing.
when you already have so much that having more can't satisfy you any further
then yeah taking from those that already have close to nothing
it's sick
sick all the way through
@@EggBastion And getting sicker by the day....
Then we must change that !!
In Scotland you can wild camp almost everywhere (Apart from dangerous sites etc) as long as you do not interfere with the landowner's livelihood.
You are in for some unpleasant surprises if spotted, there are many who take extreme measures to be unpleasant with wild campers. Stealth wild camping is the most common and designed to go un noticed, who wants to be disturbed by dogs late at night, tent pegs being pulled out and worse.
@@garybrindle6715
You get arseholes in every society, perhaps with the exception of Ireland, where I was caught camping on a farmers land once, and told "For sure you'll be fine there for the night, as long as you leave it as you found it" This was the 90's and that attitude prevailed.
@@chrisyarnold6205 You will get just as much hostility in Scotland as any where else regardless of any law
@@kethughes8266
Never get any hostility anywhere I wild camp, worst I ever got, was a guy in Cornwall, telling me as I was packing up camp in the morning, that I really shouldn't have camped there, to which I replied, Oh right, well I didn't see any signs telling me not to.
Wake up, you have no rites, and if it's private property why cannot the owner have their rites?
Wild camping is NOT the problem. The outbreak of totally irresponsible campers is. For instance it took months out here on the Lizard in Cornwall for volunteers to clear up the rubbish, human excrement, broken glass. (Plus fire hazard problems caused by irresponsible campers.) In some cases the damage done to some of the SSSIs will take ten years to remedy.
No camping and no overnight parking notices on the SSSIs were ignored.
These people are heroes in their selfless fight for people's rights. I'm a rambler and I feel very passionate about these types of issues.
There are types of people who live in the countryside whose psychopathy and worship of Mammon, the demon of greed and wealth, has dehumanised them. I call them the cacodemons of the countryside.
At least we know the man is incapable of feeling contentment, his actions show however much he has he will always want for more! In truth, on a human level, I pity him and his kind they are sick with avarice!
If a law is unjust its our obligation to resist it!!
You have my support 100 %. 👏👏👏
Remember people we are many there are few, if we really want we can tear it all down, we do possess the power. Politicians have forgotten their job is to serve the people not just the few. 💪👊
Land doesn't 'belong' to anyone: we belong to the land.
Sorry my land belongs to me and I paid good money for it so I can use it for my benefit. If anyone wants to share it they can have the decency to ask.
Just crack on, not like he’s gonna be able to keep an eye on all 4000 acres.
Their power is only given by our good graces, and there are more of us than there are of them.
We have tolerated too much greed and sociapathy though. Time things changed as the greed gets worse!
Very grateful that I live in Scotland and can raise my family in peace and fresh air.
He paid the local member of parliament, around the corner is a massive mine at Hemmerdon that everyone did not want but yet happened this is a breech of freedoms. I sail, i camp, i fly and i am in a similar situation financially to the land owner but think this is totally outrageous...

@@alphafoxtrotzulu4235 your tag/name? Yea the southern moors used to be just lee moor off limits, at least that kind of looks like moorland landscape post major mining. I am mid 40's and started walking on the moors aged 6. I do letterboxing and have over 5000 stamps and have summited every tor hill and peak. I volunteered for the rescue group back in the 2000's. Someone with no links to the moors saying that we can't do something that is a minimal invasion on it is madness in its truest form. The judge should be investigated i think as well...
@@alphafoxtrotzulu4235 why your name?
Wild camping in general needs to be opened up and allowed across the country. The current situation is an absolute disgrace. I'd like to think the politicians will take a stake in this and get involved but ultimately their own interest is financial exploitation.
