Alexander Darwall, a multimillionaire hedge fund manager, who has been pursuing the matter through the courts as he does not want people on his land without his permission.
I’ve made a small correction which I think shows more clearly the thinking behind what’s happening here. I don’t know how to do underscoring on here anymore, the appropriate button seems to have gone the same place as emojis.
Should I happen to find myself on ‘his’ patch of Dartmoor, I’d sit wherever I want, in order to enjoy the view, have a snack, rest my arthritic knees, and should I be approached by some obnoxious, self-important asshole demanding that I move, I’d tell them no, I’ll move when I’m good and ready, and if they don’t like it, then call the police. Any other action on their part I will consider to be common assault.
