The same laws that look after everybody else's rights, plus the Country Landowner's Association, the Conservative Party, the Countryside Alliance, being the Queen and/or the Church of England and/or Trinity College and/or the Duke of Westminster. I could go on - believe me, there is no shortage of organisations in Britain dedicated to keeping the natives off the property of the wealthy.
I don't really understand your question. What is there on that page that suggests property owners' rights are not looked after? When the Right to Roam was brought in in Wiltshire, Madonna and Guy Ritchie felt aggrieved because it allowed people to walk too near to their home. They took the matter to court and were successful in keeping part of their estate closed. So the law does work for them. -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob Studdert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 09 November 2005 23:26 > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: improper photog canadian style > > On 9 Nov 2005 at 22:23, Bob W wrote: > > > The British are very considerate of other people!
