It seems want they want is for folk to banned from using it, a shame the NFU don't want the same level of respect for the environment as they insist on receiving for themselves.

Bridle ways and designated footpaths are enshrined in law. Farmers pay for their upkeep. If folk respect the land, as a work place, than all good.
…no, if they win they get to improve the state of the country just like Blair did.

Improving it by doing what?
…public services are in a total mess, wherever you look they’ve gone backwards. I expect they’ll be targeted if Labour win the next election.

I’m really not sure what you don’t think needs improving after 13 years of the decimation of public services.

I know things need improving. I'm asking what Starmers Party will do to improve them.

You will see on their election manifesto, obviously.
Just being competent would be a good starting point though.
Davek is on a mission in here, ain't he?

Keir Starmer needs to apologise, retract his comments and stop the gaslighting of Muslims

Italy
The bloody battle of Genoa
When 200,000 anti-globalisation protesters converged on the Italian city hosting the G8 summit in 2001, all but a handful came to demonstrate peacefully. Instead, many were beaten to a pulp by seemingly out-of-control riot police. But was there something more sinister at play? And will the victims ever see proper justice? Nick Davies reports
[...]
Shivering on the cold marble floors of the cells, the detainees were given few or no blankets, kept awake by guards, given little or no food and denied their statutory right to make phone calls and see a lawyer. They could hear crying and screaming from other cells.
Men and women with dreadlocks had their hair roughly cut off to the scalp. Marco Bistacchia was taken to an office, stripped naked, made to get down on all fours and told to bark like a dog and to shout "Viva la polizia Italiana!" He was sobbing too much to obey. An unnamed officer told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that he had seen brother officers urinating on prisoners and beating them for refusing to sing Faccetta Nera, a Mussolini-era fascist song.
[...]
The outside world was treated to some severely distorted accounts of all this. Lying in San Martino hospital the day after his beating, Covell came round to find his shoulder being shaken by a woman who, he understood, was from the British embassy. It was only when the man with her started taking photographs that he realised she was a reporter, from the Daily Mail. Its front page the next day ran an entirely false report describing him as having helped mastermind the riots. (Four long years later, the Mail eventually apologised and paid Covell damages for invasion of privacy.)
While his citizens were being beaten and tormented in illegal detention, spokesmen for the then prime minister, Tony Blair, declared: "The Italian police had a difficult job to do. The prime minister believes that they did that job."
Having MPs being arrested for rape and sexual assault less frequently would be a start.

Stop looking at the Tories. The Starmer Party is setting its 'vision' out - and what an ugly sight it is.
Last time we exchanged you asked about policy differences, and I set some out for you, but you just said those policies will be reneged on.
This time you asked how Starmer would improve things, so I’m saying by having a party with fewer MPs caught up in rape allegations. That to me, is an improvement.
