Development affected

The policeman has been on holiday. Either that or he's been to sunnier climes on official business (hunting down old train robbers and the like perhaps). Anyhow, on his return he noticed that things had changed:

So much has changed, I don’t know where to begin. The traditional sight of the hunt saboteur may soon disappear from our rural landscape. I’ve always felt reassured by the presence of students and older people pretending to be students, fashionably dressed in the latest rags, running about being concerned. The hunters and their supporters always look so much healthier and better prepared for both the British weather and countryside, with their sturdy green jackets and green Wellingtons. The hunt saboteur tends more towards “Oxfam chic”: long threadbare coats, training shoes and leggings. The men and women seem quite indistinguishable from each other, I suppose a vegan diet will do that to you.
When you're right, you're right.
