How you finding politics these days? More corrupt than ever, or are we just better at calling issues out as we have access to the internet etc, so it is harder than ever to go under the radar with dodgy dealings.

Either way it seems like everyday another story breaks thats is more astonishing than the previous one.

With that in mind Guardian journalist George Monbiot tweeted: “Everything wrong with our politics, in one story: Hedge fund manager buys large estate on Dartmoor. Uses vast fortune to challenge the right to camp there. Wins. Local people call on their MP to amend the legislation. Discover he’s been funded by the hedge fund manager.”

Protest

More than 3,000 people joined one of the UK’s largest ever countryside access protests last weekend in anger at this decision and the unfairness many people see at this decision.

“There has never been a time when it has been more essential for humans to be connected to nature – but we’re having our right of access removed,” said Laurie Huggett, 38, who travelled with her family to the protest from Cornwall. “We felt shock and horror when we heard about the ruling. We had to come today,” reports The Guardian.

Kate Ashbrook, general secretary of the Open Spaces Society, said it was one of the largest countryside access protests the UK had ever seen. “This is by far the biggest right-to-roam mobilisation since the campaign to open up the countryside more than two decades ago – and one of the largest since the protests and trespasses of the 1930s that led to the formation of national parks. It shows how deeply people care about access to this country’s most beautiful landscapes.”
