Fox hunting and farmland

I remember commenting once, somewhere out there in the blogosphere, that the greatest asset that fox hunters have (besides their people) is the land on which they hunt and that there is, in all likelihood, some way that it can be used to show their contempt for government meddling. Well, following closely on the tail of threatening to stop military training on their land comes this from the Times:

FARMERS and landowners fighting a ban on foxhunting are planning a war on electricity installations.

Power companies are to be besieged with requests to remove or relocate installations as part of a new campaign of non-cooperation with the Government, its agents and utility companies.

The cynic in me thinks that there is probably something in the Civil Contingencies Bill that the state can use should things get out of hand.
