I've gone for a yes too  :wink:

There was a farmer recently in either South ottinghamshire or possible West Lincolnshire who drove through the middle of a illegal caravans on his land with his muck spredder at full blast  :lol:  Not sure of the outcome there, but hopefully they were scraping it off for weeks  :D

Funny I was thinking about that for an option for the farmer, not seen or read anything about it being done already recently, I suppose another option would be to dump a few piles of manure around them :twisted:

Yes from me too but...
Quote from: "Mr Farmer"
Farmers in the area claim they have lost hundreds of pounds to poachers and are plagued by others driving four-wheel vehicles over their fields.


Who are these idiots that keep giving us a bad name?
Maybe the farmers should instal stingers around their fields and puncture the idoits tyres.
It'll show the police who's doing these crimes in the countryside and maybe they'll leave the real 4x4 enthusiats alone

It says four wheel vehicles, not four wheel drive.  So it basically means that it isn't two wheeled vehicles such as a motorcycle being used.  :wink:

Or thinks it is ok for a complete stranger to park a BWSOW in their back garden.
There's somewhere to store your caravan for the winter FOC :twisted:
P.S. my vote is yes, need to be done more often.

Yes, good. Its nice to see someone actually being allowed to show these scroats what for and not be prosecuted by the police for defending themselfs, their land or their livelyhood.

Definitely.  But they only did that 'cos the guy had gone about it in the right way.  First give a warning, then act.

Big yes from me as well.

Just as many of us predicted the NERC bill will have no effect on tw*ts who will drive exactly where they want- pivate land, green lane whatever. Private Property and The Law have no meaning to them.
