IDK, seems fricked up:

Quote:

Less than 1 percent of the population — including aristocrats, royals and wealthy investors — owns about half of the land, according to “Who Owns England,” a book that is to be published in May. And many of them inherited the property as members of families that have held it for generations — even centuries.

Time to redistribute it to people that quit school in the 9th grade or didn't even grow up there. It isn't fair dammit!

“Agricultural land is not an ordinary traded good, as soil is nonrenewable and access to it is a human right,” the report said. “As with the concentration of financial wealth, too high a concentration of agricultural land splits society, destabilizes rural areas, threatens food safety and thus jeopardizes the environmental and social objectives of Europe.”


If that Commie bastard gets his way, 0% of the population will own any land.

Wealth inequality doesn’t matter as long as standard of living continues to improve.

The poor today have air conditioning, running water, cable TV, and a smartphone.

The 1% articles are great click bait but it pulls at jealousy cords more than anything else. I don’t care that there are billionaires who have dramatically more wealth than everyone else. As long as my SOL is acceptable, then I’m indifferent to rich people.

That's why they're turning into such pussies. They have to virtue signal to distract from how they live.

You could also frame the answer differently. I’m sure a large portion own the other 50%

So let’s just estimate that 70% of the people own 50% of the land and the other 29% don’t own any land by choice (they rent or live with family/friends)

Doesn’t sound as bad right? It’s just click bait socialist propaganda

There’s really no way around this.
England has been around a long time.

No matter how you distribute wealth, unless you have dictated equality of outcome, the money will always flow back to the most competent ie the 1%

Do we really want to have equality of outcome?

I didn’t read the link. I wonder how much of that 1% are the royals and old noble families as opposed to the run of the mill nouveau riche.

Haha. Be happy.

They used to own our whole damn country but we sure screwed them out of that. Now all they got over there is half of the size of Oregon and we got the rest.

So they already lost so more than they have left.
