""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.""
Can't resist this piece of pure ignorance of land usage.
First, grouse moors are areas of land which don't support either arable or livestock farming. These are where the largest proportion of shooting occurs.
Second, when it comes to weekend shooting parties on farmland, the majority of participants are middle class stockbrokers and accountants, with a smattering of social climbing small businessmen.
Nothing wrong with that, but they hardly rate as either Royalty or aristocrats, and their shooting venues are in fact productively farmed throughout the year, though more for the benefit, as you might expect, of the owner than for "all of us".
