Love me some British shrub politics. The only socially respectable response for someone invading your property is a bit of tutting whenever they're nearby.

Also the "public right-of-way" in this country is incredible.

I wish we had that in Canada. We weren't too badly off with plenty of Crown land and a few "right of access" to Crown lands regulations, but that is rapidly changing, at least in Saskatchewan.

Trespass laws are being changed to make it more difficult to exercise Treaty rights. Crown lands are being sold off. Some Crown lands are being sold in patterns that leave other Crown lands inaccessible.
