Steve Shaw BS: 1066 and all that (65* d) RE: BS: 1066 and all that 19 Oct 16


I haven't got the time or inclination to discuss anything with dullards who want to go into the nuts and bolts of how we get coal out of the ground, etc. That is simply not the point. I am explaining in simple terms why I think that landlordism is a thoroughly unjust, immoral and unfair phenomenon. Unjust because all their holdings were usurped either by them or their ancestors, land which they had no more right to "own" than anyone else. Immoral because they profit hugely from the blood, sweat and tears, even the shortened lives, of the people who do all the work while they live in the lap of luxury. Unfair because they are depriving in large part the people they exploit from benefiting from the wealth that they alone create. The sense of entitlement this gives to the wealthy is staggering. Why, in the end it throws up the Russian oligarchs, the Trumps, the Maxwells, the Sir Freddie Goodwins and the Philip Greens of this world. Oh, and not forgetting BigEars.
