      *The public should have no right to undertake any activities other than walking or horse riding in the Dartmoor national park without landowner permission, Timothy Morshead KC told a supreme court hearing on Tuesday.*

      *He is acting for Alexander Darwall, a multimillionaire hedge fund manager, who has been pursuing the matter through the courts as he does not want people camping on his land without his permission.*

      > Darwall, Dartmoor’s sixth largest landowner, bought the 1,619-hectare (4,000-acre) Blachford estate on southern Dartmoor in 2013. He offers pheasant shoots, deerstalking and holiday rentals on his land.

      Sorry chaps, this land is reserved for rich people that want to kill animals for fun.

      I like how during the previous case, advocates for wildcamping argued that interpreting the law to restrict camping may also lead to further restrictions on anything other than walking or horseriding, and then this rich arsehole went “Oh great idea” and decided to try just that.

      We should confiscate his property. I don’t want to establish any precident around this or change property law or anything, I just think we should go “Yeah you’re an arsehole, we’re taking your stuff” because it’d make him really mad and he deserves to be mad.

      The judge at least sounds like he isn’t too interested in the arguments of this wannabe feudal lord; like he says landowners still have the right to take trespassers to court if they do actual damage.

      If this guy didn’t want to have to deal with land which has very permissive rules regarding public access maybe he shouldn’t have bought it 28 years after said rules were passed.

      For a UKIP donor, Darwall seems to really dislike British traditions

      Last time they tried to argue that only recreation was allowed, and that sleeping in a tent wasn’t recreation because it isn’t “fun”

      That hedge-fund manager is a parasite who contributes nothing towards Darrmoor’s conservation, culture and community.
