Letter: Right to roam

Sir: I am not a country landowner - I live in Manchester and wouldn't know one end of a combine harvester from another - but following the Government's idiotic kowtowing to the "right to roam" lobby I look forward to the spectacle of hordes of ramblers descending on Chequers gaily scattering crisp packets and letting their semi-trained animals loose on the wildlife. At least Tony Blair's livelihood doesn't depend on it.
