<http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1841953105/>Who Owns 
Britain? Journalist Kevin Cahill got interested 
in land ownership researching for the Sunday 
Times Rich List with the editor Philip Beresford. 
Inadequacies of the Land Registry which is 
constructed to conceal land ownership. Kevin's 
book, <http://www.who-owns-britain.com/>Who Owns 
Britain (2002), took 13 years to research and 
write. BBC TV programme 'Whose Britain Is It 
Anyway' (2006) was based on the book but missed 
out fundamental aspects of Kevin's findings. 
Freeholds are all in fact owned by the Queen so 
they are leases from the Queen in the small print 
of land title deeds. The Church of England have 
sold 2.1 million acres of glebe land slowly over 
the years. There is 60 million acres of land in 
Britain to share out among 62 million 
inhabitants. 1% of the population (159,000 
families) own 71% of the land. Domesday book of 
1066 was William the Conqueror's 'swag list' 
inventory of resources to tax. There was a little 
known second domesday book of 1872. Do we really 
need land in a merchantile, money economy? 65% of 
families have a stake in their home either owning 
it or taking out a mortgage to buy it. US folk 
song 'This Land Is Your Land' (1940) by Woody 
Guthrie. Enclosure and privatisation of land in 
Britain by the wealthy but ordinary people had no 
vote.  If you could not graze your animals on 
common land or collect wood in the winter you 
were dead. The pressure of evicted peoples' need 
for land as it was enclosed was taken off by the 
cities, the factories ... and the colonies. The 
real cost of building a 6 bedroom house: 800 
man-hours of labour plus 700 man-hours in 
materials is 1500 man hours or £15,000 at 
£10/hour. The repayments on a 50 year interest 
free loan would be about £6 a week. A home is a 
fundamental human right so how to make sure 
everyone has a home that nobody can evict you 
from? Fiona O'Cleirigh and Kevin are working on a 
second edition of Who Owns Britain which is due 
to be published in the Autumn. Did you know the 
Queen owns 1/6th of all the land on earth? Have 
you ever heard of the British Indian Ocean 
Territory, a land area of 15,000 acres which is 
now believed to be used as a secret prison for 
captives of the war on terror? Kevin Cahill, 
asserts that the main cause of most remaining 
poverty in the world is an excess of 
landownership in too few hands. He says private 
ownership of a very small amount on land - 
one-tenth of an urban acre or an acre or two of 
rural land - granted to every person on the 
planet has the potential to begin ending poverty. 
Kevin says the right to land is a fundamental 
human right and also wrote the book

"The maintenance of secrets acts like a psychic 
poison which alienates the possessor from the community" Carl Jung

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered 
that shall not be revealed; and nothing hid that 
shall not be made known. What I tell you in 
darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye 
hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27

Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.
