WHY are Dartmoor preservationists so bigotted?

Can they not even begin to understand how much we owe to our soldiers, sailors and airmen?

Instead of moaning about a little disturbance on the moor, which will renew itself, they should find time to think of the families even now grieving for the loss of their nearest and dearest in Iraq, men and women who made their final sacrifice to keep us free as so many have done before them.

It is time Dartmoor preservationists got their priorities right and thanked God for our peaceful lives on the edge of Dartmoor and the brave people who ensure this.
