UK: Half of England is owned by less than 1% of the population

[Independent voter]

“A few thousand dukes, baronets and country squires own far more land than all of middle England put together.”

The findings, described as “astonishingly unequal”, suggest that about 25,000 landowners – typically members of the aristocracy and corporations – have control of half of the country.

Did you know guillotines can have wheels, so you can move them from place to place where need be?
No relation at all to this topic, just a nice fact I felt like sharing, somehow.

Theres actually a Danish guy that owns far too much of Scotland, and whilst I'm sure his conservation efforts are appreciated, I dont condone selling half my country to random rich people.

A sad, but interesting, coincidence - three of his children were killed in the Sri Lanka bombings.

Lol more "poor" folks from western nations validating the killing off of the rich in their country becuase those rich are the 1%. Yet have no care at all that they themselves are the 1% of the world..guess you all want to die...

At least it's their own Countrymen that own it.

Capitalism - felt like popping this little thing here.

I’m willing to bet you no one in the 1% knows MMO Champion exists or has 10,000 posts.

That is not a coincidence.
