“ HISTORICAL LAND GRAB “ - TIME TO GET RADICAL FOR THE 21St CENTURY AND FUTURE GENERATIONS
Do you ever wonder how so many aristocratic and Royal Families
Inherited thousands of acres of prime farming lands in England which are today worth £Millions ?
I refer to the Norman Knights who came with William Duke of Normandy in 1066, The Lords of Manors in the Middle Ages and The Kings and Queens of England since 1066.
The same question could apply to Scotland. How could the Duchess of Argyle get to own more than 50% of the land in Scotland ?
In away, the answer is simple although in reality complex.
The simple answer is ....They were all part of the Ruling Classes and they did what they wanted. They were greedy for Power and they did not “ Give a damn “ about the Peasants.
Today in 2020 these Lords, Ladies and Ancestors of THE GREAT LAND GRABS of the past generations still dominate the distribution of land in Britain.
The rest of the Population own a house with some land or no land if you live in a flat in a high rise building.
There is a massive shortage of land for cost affordable land to build houses at a reasonable price.
So here are two solutions....
Government Action Priorities -
A - Nationalise some of the large estates which were stolen from the people of Britain.
B - Build Dozens of new villages with lovely designed cottages at low prices.
How to Implement the Strategic Plan 2021 - 2026.
1 - Establish a National Building Corporation to contract the New Villages.
2 - No VAT on building materials for the new NBC.
3 - Construct new rail, bus and road links to Industrial Estates - similar to Milton Keynes.
4 - National Building Corporationto be a NFP - Not for Profit Company.
5 - Funding by QE -Quantitative Easing or increase the Money supply by printing money. Monetary Policy has been a failure and has restricted growth.
6-Construct ECO VILLAGES on portions of National Trust lands.
Landscape with lawns, flower beds, Community Building, Children’s play facilities.
7 - All constructions must include Energy saving devices and to prevent negative impact of Climate change.
8 - Prioritise Cottages and Houses and not High Rise Apartment Blocks
For decades TheUK has failed to solve theHousing Crisis.
Time to get Radical.
