Half of England owned by less than 1%

Shhhh, Jacob and Boris don't want the plebs to know this

Queenie doesn't.

I've read the article and after a whole 30 seconds' thought, I don't care. Most of it is countryside or farmland.

The angle not covered is that so much of our farmland is owned not by small farmers but by large companies who are raking in those lovely EU CAP subsidies, and who after Brexit will be raking in those UK government subsidies.

The title Duke of Buccleuch /bəˈkluː/, formerly also spelt Duke of Buccleugh, is a title created twice in the Peerage of Scotland. The second creation dates to the 20 April 1663. The Dukedom was for the Duke of Monmouth, who was the eldest illegitimate son of Charles II of Scotland, England, and Ireland, and who had married Anne Scott, 4th Countess of Buccleuch. The Duke also holds the Dukedom of Queensberry, created in 1684.

The current Duke of Buccleuch, Richard Scott, the 10th Duke, is the largest private landowner in Scotland and chairman of the Buccleuch Group, a holding company with interests in commercial property, rural affairs, food, and beverages. The title originally comes from a holding in the Scottish Borders, near Selkirk.

Well done Angoose,bet Quennie is a good mate

We need some Zimbabwe style land reform. I for one am disgusted that stupid people who don't know how to farm are prevented from trying it. It's a disgrace that our economy is doing quite well, this must be stopped.

More people than ever homeless or working people sleeping in their cars because they cant afford rent as their wages haven't done up in years,millions of kids living in poverty and these filthy rich parasites never give a penny back,still the economy is doing quite well we are told

Does anybody really believe the garbage filtered out by the Establishment , the tory lie machine , the banks and financial institutions , these are the real parasites that have deliberately destroyed the economic and social fabric of this country , and yet some wish to defend them its truly unbelievable

I am an anarchist.....

Queenie & family own 1.4 per cent according to OP's linked article. Scroll down for the pretty graph.



My comment was made tongue in cheek but I think you'll find that technically, the Queen owns all of it. And Australia. And New Zealand...

Is this the real life?

Is this just fantasy?

Very good JC..

Open your minces, look up to the ozone and see a gaping hole (allegedly..)

This ownership of land should be a major issue. There is a shortgage of housing. The prime cost of a home is the land, not the building. I could see how the Labour Party could solve a major problem but as usual they are not interested in housing, the Health Service, making the rich pay their fair share!
