1. Minister in charge of Access to Nature: Get off may land! Mason! Release the hounds!

2. If anyone is really interested in this topic, I’d recommend reading “[The Book of Trespass: Crossing the Lines that Divide Us](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Book-Trespass-Crossing-Lines-Divide/dp/1526604698)” by Nick Hayes. He touches on the subject of Richard Benyon quite a bit and it’s well worth the read.

3. We all have the right to own and trade that which we create by our own hand.

   I would love to see evidence that this minister manufactured any land, or purchased it from someone who manufactured it.

4. Bring back the commons.

5. Just go onto there land even if your not aloud. What’s some weak old rich man going to do about it. They all party while in lock down so fuck the rules protecting rich people

6. This government would have us back to the mass trespass of 1932.

7. As long as it’s ok for him to walk across their gardens in return?

9. I have two footpaths across my land and am sick of the dog shit, litter and damage to crops. I caught one woman during lockdown letting her 3 dogs off their leads and throwing a ball for them in one of my hay fields.

10. >minister in charge of access to nature

    Of course he is…

11. If it’s truely his land then he can do whatever he wants with it as long as it meets planning permission, lega….

    ​

    riiight, he’s part of the current government. Rules need not apply.

12. i love wild camping, so am all for the right to roam, stealth camping can be sucky sometimes, lol.

13. Just start walking & roaming across it, what can he actually do, trespass is a funny sort of crime, which is often difficult to prosecute someone, especially if it is easily accessible. So Bollocks too who he is, just do it.
