Following my story a couple of weeks ago about the natives of Cornwall getting upset about 'blow-ins' it seems the disquiet is spreading the length and breadth of the country (as they say on the radio). There is a group in the Lake District calling itself the Popular Liberation Army of Westmorland (PLAW) who have produced a newsletter called Let It Be Known in which they blame newcomers and 'encroaching leech like scum of that ilk' for pushing house prices beyond the reach of local people. Worryingly they have promised to act with violence, claim they have as many as 25 members and have been training in the States.
You have to feel sorry for the Security Services, if things weren't tough enough spotting terrorists they now have to keep an eye out for a bunch of inbred fell walkers trying to smuggle large print copies of Perry's Chemical Engineers Handbook through customs.
I just hope that the nascent New Forest group Countryside United No Townies doesn't firebomb any properties, Trevor McDonald got into enough trouble calling Bernard Manning a fat white bastard.
