I sincerely hope that you have proof to back up that outrageous accusation??

Why, do you suppose they'll be round in a minute to chop off my head?

And I sincerely hope that you have proof to back up that outrageous
suggestion that I give very little to charities or just put a few coppers in tins, or whatever it was you accused me of, just because you didn't agree about something totally unrelated. It's very hard to take you seriously after that.

The urban bits of the Crown Estate are soulless places. Southernhay in Exeter, for example. There's no soul because the people who work, live and shop there don't own any of it. The people who own it don't give a fig about anything other than making money out of it by virtue of the hard work of others. In the country, they would rather make money out of fools who pay a fortune to shoot at silly birds, instead of rolling up their sleeves and farming the land productively for the benefit of all of us. As for efficiency and those profits, I repeat: that dough is rightfully not theirs. They made it by exploiting what once belonged to all of us and which their ancestors took by force.
