How I learnt to hate the landowner and love the rambler

Article Abstract:

The Country Landowners' Association has stated that its members wish to see enhanced public access to their land. However, no action has been taken to ensure that this actually happens, and it must be concluded that landowners do not really want the public on their land, even though there is no evidence at all that appropriately regulated public access has a negative impact on rural business or the environment. It seems that ordinary people in the UK have over many generations come to accept the idea that some people own land from which they exclude others, and most are unwilling to challenge this tradition.

Confessions of a teenage camp follower

Article Abstract:

Forest School Camps were held every summer in the United Kingdom, in the 1960s and 1970s. The children at the camps washed in cold water, cooked using an open fire, and played together. There was singing round the camp fire, and games were played at night. The camps were linked to Forest School, which was a humanist movement that sought to promote inclusion and closeness to nature. The camps brought people together as though they were part of a secret society. The camps still exist in the 1990s, and returning to a camp is like returning to the past and revaluing those ideals.

Must we forget our principles and surrender to mob rule?

Article Abstract:

The UK Football Association seems to have bowed to public opinion by dismissing Glenn Hoddle, coach of the England football team, and by agreeing that a match between Sheffield United and Arsenal in which Arsenal's win was controversial should be replayed. The Football Association has made a minor change to its rules, but there is a danger that this could be taken further. There have been many matches in the past in which the result was controversial, and this development may encourage football fans to become much more demanding in the future.
