You're painting a picture which conjures up images of the old Soviet Union, or in fact even earlier to the 1860's, when the newly emancipated serfs were given ownership of the land they had previously cultivated. Or even worse, the land grabs from the white farmers in Zimbabwe, by what's considered by the present government to be the indigenous population.
How far back would we have to go back to qualify for some of this land? One, two generations, or twenty?
Speaking personally I don't really fancy living on my quarter acre plot, situated three miles from the M6, just outside of Carlisle.
