If you were among the people who signed the petitions flying round the Internet about the intensive, all-on-concrete dairy farm being wished on an outraged Lincolnshire village, you can pat yourself on the back.

What with that and the Westminster U-turn on selling off England’s forests, it’s been a not-bad month for constructive objecting.
