    Kevin Cahill's book Who Owns Britain sets out the figures pretty starkly: the UK is 60m acres in extent, and two-thirds of it is owned by 0.36% of the population, or 158,000 families. A staggering 24m families live on the 3m acres of the nation's "urban plot" – and not surprisingly buy into the idea that Britain is a severely overcrowded country in which land is extremely scarce.

    Exactly.

    If we, the population and people of Britain, really want to "take back control". Then this should be the control of land, the control of the system of wealth, the ability to control and reduce inequality.

    But frankly, that isn't actually what any Leavers I've spoken to want. What I've head instead amounts to, "treat the symptom, not the cause". As such, it will achieve nothing, not even an illusory benefit as the cause is real and so are the effects.

    So much this! Education is key, the more people can understand about how they are being shafted the more likely they are to try and change it!
