That's mostly what all the posts on here that people post here are about.
the little and seemingly big squabbles in bubbles happening within
the rent system.
hardly anyone gets to the crux.
which is:
take their land/life away from the people, then make them exceedingly
grateful to the new owners who make them pay rent for its use.
Rent = tax, protection money, interest debt, and what we call rent. (a
note that describes interest debt as rent: a sum is loaned, a rent
called interest is paid for a time period, at the end of which the sum
which is 'rented' is paid back)
Were we all really born to pay for our lives!
Winstanley and all the recent historical natives didn't think we were.
Don't forget we all were natives once.
We have b earth right.
money, at any level excludes.
here is my reason for posting. on the rent prices of allotments:

Raising allotment rents is
one hot potato for a Green
council
I HAVE been a Green voter in
Brighton all my adult life, and
have put posters in my
window and actively supported
the Greens for more than 20
years.
The Green Party is the party
of sustainability, of low carbon
footprints, low food miles and
locally-grown food. These
make up the Green manifesto,
along with a commitment to
encourage allotments. This is
why I voted for Green
councillors.
So why is Brighton and Hove
City Council , run by the
Greens, about to cut the
council subsidy for allotments,
resulting in a 65% rent rise?
You now have to grow £110
worth of vegetables to break
even. Surely allotment
growing underlines the basic
principles of the Green
movement? Surely this should
be one of the things the
Greens should be
encouraging?
The more people encouraged
to grow food locally, the
better for us as individuals
and the planet. Every potato I
eat from my allotment is a
potato not flown in from Egypt
by big supermarkets. This
should be encouraged. In fact,
the council subsidy should,
according to Green principles,
be increased.
In my opinion, allotments
should be heavily subsidised
or even free. How else are we
going to get people to start
growing food locally? If we
want to feed ourselves in a
sustainable, low-carbon way,
and to encourage
responsibility for food
production, promoting
allotments is the obvious way
to go. Instead the council is
cutting help for allotments.
I am flabbergasted, shocked
and disillusioned. When...................continues
