@PCollinsTimes The vast majority of the land you are talking about is farmed land and the livelihood of a small band of farmers. As an area that already has to be subsidised to be viable, the idea of taxing these people is frankly ludicrous.
@PCollinsTimes Your article on land tax is unbelievably naive. You say that 60 million acres of land has a total value of approx ยฃ5 trillion. A tax of 1 per cent would therefore raise ยฃ50 billion. Have you any idea of how difficult it is to eke out a living farming in the UK.
