I share your pessimism but do feel that we have a duty of sorts to oppose such bills (now that Labour seem to have lost the will to oppose). Once the Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership (TTIP) comes into force, the combined effect of that and the Infrastructure Bill will mean the death of our public amenities. If in 1932 those men and women hadn't turned off the path and climbed the steep slopes of Kinder Scout, to face the gamekeepers, we may not have had any access rights as we know them to protect.
