Indeed and Zoe was really targeting the wealthiest of land owners, many of whom who have purchased land specifically to avoid tax. Others who have held the same land for hundreds of years, some, 'gifted' it by William the Conqueror. Our aristocracy still 'own' between 30 - 48% of all UK land ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Said it was contentious. Perhaps less so, however, when you've read this ๐Ÿ‘‡

A good read ๐Ÿ‘‡ Especially useful when considering some of the disinformation emanating from Mr James Melville (NoFarmsNoFoods). Useful for understanding who's paying him and perhaps, why? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ‘‡

What the hell has happened to/in the US? Lying through his teeth. The man who initiated attack on 6th Jan. The man responsible for the deaths of policemen. The man who subsequently pardoned those tried & imprisoned. Then this and the creep goes unchallenged. No-one points to the obvious hypocrisy.

Ridiculous and 'vile' headlines. Yet, broadcasters still entertain journalists from these rags on a regular basis on #PoliticsLive, and the like.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.ย 
ย 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
ย 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
