I realise much is left over from the feudal system and aristocratic estates but is now on the open market I expect. Viva la revolution, let the tumbrils roll. It will take concerted action to prevent this, as both majors probably favour it albeit for different reasons. I wish you every successin the campaign.

Being the chairman of an associatian which works for the reopening of defunct canals in Germany, I used to tell local politician that the Britsh canals and how they are operated is something to learn from. Obviously this is no longer so. Why can´t I sign this petition? As I am a big fan of the British canal system, I am shocked about this plans.
