nice unbiast reporting though from the daily mail

His uncompromising manner and blunt way with words have seen him named as one of the rudest men on television.

Hmm, methinks if it had been Lord Toffy-Snotwitt of Pontypendy who'd done the same thing I think the public response would be somewhat different.  :lol:

As I recall, no one supported Madonna when she did the same thing.

Or the Government when they played the same game on us with RUPPs.

Guess there's no accounting for popularity!

Funny ol' world, innit?  :lol:

i added my comments ,as is stated there is no right of way unlike madonnas house, so he has a right to stick a fence up :D

[ian_s]

i think he should be praised for protecting the wildlife from the unwanted attentions of the walkers.

I dunno how the IOM legal thing works, but in the UK, the walkers would argue for a right of access based on X years unchallenged access whether a dedicated footpath exists or not.

There is case going through in the UK currently about access blocked to some Tor somewhere. Never been a footpath there, but until the new owners moved in the walkers had never been challenged. I see parrallels here, but like I say, the IOM legal system is probably waaaay different!

Which ever way it turns, it's gonna make for good spectatin'!  :lol:

Added more than what it would allow so sent three mails straight after each other, not sure they will be added but still.

People need to realise that our rights are being eroded and without making a few stands here and there they would be totally gone before we know it.

JC is right to do what he has and hell i would man any 'gun implacements' :lol:

Also i hope to bottle fairy farts soon to ensure my carbon foot-print is smaller :P

"The problem as I see it is that the ‘PC’ brigade and all other such mindless bigoted idiots and will always get their way in everything regardless of how many peoples lives they ruin in the process.

 JC had planning permission to erect the fence and no doubt the application was to say the least scrutinised in every way possible and indeed notice was made of the proposed ‘permission’, and yet nobody had a problem then to oppose said fence.

Is it JC’s fault that people couldn’t be bothered to go and take the time and effort required to look at new proposals or planning applications?

The route could have been there ten thousand years for all I care if it were MY land or in this case JC’s land I would if I thought I could stop people from crossing my land and to be frank I would defend my land as I saw fit.

Intrinsically we are being forced into believing what we are told, that we should love our neighbour (not in that way either) regardless of their idiosyncratic ways and that we should be worrying about ‘ozone depletion’ or more recently ‘our carbon foot-print’ and that going against these people that want to enforce such views mostly unproven of course is a bad thing and that random people walking through ones land should be enjoyed.  (JC make some cakes for the people, go on you know you want to)  

4x4’s are bad, smoking is bad, not recycling everything and anything is bad, having a cross in a church is bad, Concorde WAS bad, cars that run on anything other than fairy farts are bad well you know something I will smoke I will drive a 4x4, I shall worship at a church with a cross, I will throw away plastic into the cardboard bin, I shall continue to drink beer and I shall still live my life the way I want to NOT the way others want me to live.

Finally to reiterate and enforce the fence that JC erected should stay in place he has rerouted the fence and had permission to do so no seals will die, birds will not die, his sheep will not die and the world will continue to spin and so what if people have to walk an extra few yards it may help them to stay fit and healthy."

Brilliant....

What goes around comes around... eventually!

A barbed wire fence is the only thing "ramblers" seem to stop at - they completely ignore the "Private Property" signs on our land which has no public access.
If they cared so much about their countryside then why don't we see them actually doing something to make it better? Many weekends we see various 4x4 and off-road clubs actually doing maintenance work like clearing and tidying up to make the countryside accessible by all - but I've never seen a "rambler" out with some shears or a chain saw once.
They leave more rubbish about, rarely close gates and have let out more livestock because of their single-minded stupidity than I care to remember.

Good on you Clarkson - The Ramblers want complete access but do nothing to maintain their countryside, they're moaning leeches, nothing more.

just wait I'm sure there will be squads of ramblers out in force in the next couple of weeks clearing and repairing the track.

Or more likley

There will be squads of ramblers complaining to local papers and council etc about how they cant get the access they MUST have. After all its there god given right to go anywhere on any green space that takes there fancy

[unknownmanxman]

There are no such thing as Ramblers Rights over here in the IOM if that helps!

[Bishops Finger]

I've got nothing against ramblers...so long as they don't clog my M/Ts

Added my views supporting JC

and keep it that way would be our advice
 :lol:

Clarkson is completely right, it's his land and his to enjoy.

I wish my V8 would run on fairy farts, they've got to be cheaper than petrol. No.1 daughter lost a tooth today perhaps I could rig a cunning trap and then force feed the poor little ensnared fairy with beans and beer and vindaloo. I'll let you know how I get on. :twisted:

thats going to be more like a small explosion than a fart

dont fancy explaining the fariy wings laminated to the wall to your daughter  :lol:

[Flowerman]

OK, the catching a fairy thing went a bit wrong. Set up my cunning trap last night involving lassoo, pulley, club hammer and plenty of lard, all decretely hidden behind No.1 daughter's Sugarbabes poster (bulges were in all the right places!). Woke in the middle of the night to screams, only caught the bloomin wife didn't I :oops: . Tried to placate wife with lovingly prepared beans, beer and vindaloo, but just got more abuse. No1. daughter also very angry, with all the commotion the tooth fairy didn't leave the 2 quid and Sugarbabes have become Shreddedbabes. Damned shame really, I quite liked that poster.

Need another plan....

Get a council truck to park at the end of the lane with some clearing equipment like shears etc, wonder if they would be willing to clear back what they want to use
