Simple for me. Make royal land our land so we all benefit for their estates. I actually think inherited wider royal family members are a bigger issue. https://www.business-live.co.uk/enterprise/duke-westminster-you-need-know-20839466.amp This stuff needs to be put right
Ensure the rule of law is adhered to equally for all. This keeps getting ducked https://www.republic.org.uk/prince_andrew_owes_british_public_answers
So all landowners in the UK should give their land back to the people or just the royal family?

People who were gifted it as part of a royal settlement. It belongs to the people of Britain who have paid for it and wealth should be recycled back into the people to good. It’s ethical and logical and only those who exploit their power wouldn’t accept it.
 
This argument is full of holes and demonstrates a glaring misunderstanding of what constitutes historical significance. Speaking as a 'heritage professional' historical significance is based on a number of things, including context. Britain's historic palaces are of interest because, unlike many other countries, we have an extant royal family. Using any criteria that would be applied during a 'heritage impact assessment' removing the Royal family would have a serious impact on the context of these buildings- removing this context would result in a 'major irreversible adverse impact' (the technical term that would be applied) on the way in which these heritage assets are understood and experienced.

So people who acquired land by buying it cheap and exploiting the existing land owners lack of knowledge to then sell at a huge profits would be exempt?

There’s a conversation to be had about all kind for me. If it places people in poverty. There needs to be a right to roam. Do you think it’s ethical what the Duke of Westminster earns ?

Answer the question, is it right to buy land knowing the seller has a lack of knowledge and as such sells it cheap, therefore denying him it's true value?

Edit. The only beneficiary of the cheap land is the person buying it by the way
 
River Slut & Farnboro . . . . stop it, man <doh>

Just ignoring each other would be better than acting like this :emoticon-0148-yes:
The child is a grade A ****er. He can **** off and once he stops spouting his bile....I'll ignore him. Until then ... I'll keep having a go. You have banned posters for less but you allow this knob to keep posting ****e, as ge did on the thread The Queen.
 
Getting **** cos I’ve got friends over but a couple of things to answer before tomorrow -
Can Farnboro articulate what a leftie is to enlighten us all
Can someone share their views on the pay off of Giuffre to circumnavigate the rule of law and tell me if they think that’s who we want as head of state ?
