Nearly 40% of the land in the UK is held by Lords and individuals who have held it for over 500 years since they seized it without paying for it.
The French had the same problem, but they solved it in 1799 by having a Revolution and taking it all back.

Rishi Sunak could have nationalised the lot with the £200bn he gave them for nothing in bill subsidies.
And we would have already made nearly £300bn profit in just 3 years.

Every single thing the Royal Family has was stolen from the British people 1000+ years ago.
Since then they have paid no tax, and used slaves for nearly 800 years.

Is Starmer speech a ‘plan for change’ or ‘emergency relaunch’?
