Demise of large estates? Propaganda. 0.66% of the population own 790% of the land, predominantly aristocrats. We are still a banana republic in many cases, and land ownership is one.
Yep and introduce Land value Tax (LVT), which is getting a bigger following by the hour.
0.66% of the population own 790% of the land
Please explain what this means??
Yes - like where's the extra 690% located?
You made that up.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Malcolm H" saying something like:
It's Drivelnomics. The New Science of Wishful Revolutionary Thinking.
Indeed. The queen owns 100% of the land. In the UK.
The message from The Natural Philosopher contains these words:
While technically true, it makes bugger all difference to every day life.

That was true in 1066, but since then Kings and Queens have sold off most of the land to us common erks.
0.66% of the population own 70% of the land
And he walks around with name like that.
Lord Hall, I never.
It does big style.
The message from "Doctor Drivel" contains these words:
What's it changed about the way I lived my life today?
Read Who Own Britain by Kevin Cahill and Who Runs Britain by Jerwemy Paxman
For starters. Come back when read for clarification of points.
Unfortunately _not_ true ! Sovereigns have granted _holdings_ to 'us common erks'. The land remains the property of the Crown. Where do you think the wording Free-Hold; Lease-Hold; Crown-Hold; etc.etc. originate?
Sold off? 0.66% of the population own 70% of the land. They don't sell land! You don't buy land, only the title to occupy it and sell the title on. The title can be taken back at any time.
No, they have sold off a rent free infinite leases...to live on bits of it..but not the land itself, or indeed all and every right attached to it.
... and how often do you see the Queen showing up at the front doors of her subjects asking for her land back?
Even so, your figures are wrong because 1 in 60million does not equate to 0.66%.
How do you keep your job in the plumbers merchants when you can't do basic arithmetic?
Matt, boy you are slow. The point is she owns the land. If push came to shove she would take it back and set the army on the people. Those people are ruthless and have been throughout history.
Matt, again. 0.66% of the population own 70% of the land. Now that is easy. Even the plantpot can understand that.
Which push and shove did you have in mind? Elizabeth Windsor on a Chieftain tank? Phil the Greek driving a JCB?
You do live in a fantasy world.
/ You just said that the Queen owns the land. Make up your mind
