Canoeing governing body branded irresponsible for encouraging its members to trespass

This issue has now been allowed to fester for far too long.
Legal opinion was sought a couple of years ago and the paddlers were advised to cooperate in obtaining mutually agreed arrangements for access where it was possible.
It is plainly obvious that the paddlers are continuing to deliberately misinterpret the lack of official challenges as tacit approval of their actions.
It is now high time that sample cases are brought against paddlers’ trespass, and we look to both the Trust and to Fish Legal to instigate this action at the earliest opportunity.
The longer this goes unchallenged the more the paddlers can claim some “right” of a PRN, illicit as it may be.
Stated as bluntly as possible, now is the time for Fish Legal and the Angling Trust to either sh!t or get off the pot.

Their just showing how immature and childish they are if they think they can do whatever they want regardless of the laws and the other users who were willing to come to arrangements with them but were refused.
Perhaps we should also let our childish traits come out and behave irresponsibly just like them, and start a new national sport involving aiming stinky groundbait and maggots at ignorant canoeists who don’t obey the law?
1 point for hitting a canoe and 2 points for a tipover and 3 points for a sinking.
NB: No ‘intelligent’ beings would be harmed in this sport.
Of course I’m only kidding but they do make my blood boil sometimes.
