TIL of the UK's "Right To Roam" - people can access most mountains, moors, heaths and downs that are privately owned for hiking and leisure

Funny how you cut out where I say this. It has to go to court. If the land was just "leased" they wouldn't have to even bother giving you market value. But that completely destroys your narrative.

No it doesn't. Is there any other property where the government can force you to sell it? You forget that the court agreement ends in one of three options: the claim is not justified, the government needs to give you more money or "get fucked, accept the offer". There's no "I don't want to sell it" option.

The fuck are you talking about? You are arguing AGAINST this!

Landlord is the government in this scenario.

Why do you keep ignoring that there are TONS of public land available to people? They have ZERO reason to be on my property in the first place. You want to hike, go there! That is why you are entitled.

This is irrelevant. Would you agree that property rights were wrong if there were less public land?

Here is the issue with your point. We have these rights because they are written into our laws. It is in the agreement when we buy property.

Yes. Other countries have other laws, because in every country land is subjected to public interest, and that includes the US. The US doesn't think that free roaming is in the public interest, but that could change and there's nothing you could do, because public interest > your land property rights.
