BTW, only 7,5% of the UK is built on,
rural and urban inc' gardens.

But around 50% of the UK cannot be built
on due to its topography.....

???? 50% Do you mean the UK? The UK is a very flat. Have you ever driven
around it or flown over it? All you see is empty subsidised fields, travel
further, then all the houses are far too close together in a town, then more
open fields until the next town, and then the same again. Between towns
there is a hell of a lot of empty boring looking fields, with most owned by
a few people. 1% of the population own 70% of the land.

The UK has never redistributed land, unlike all other sensible countries,
although it started the redistribution of land in Ireland in the late 1800s,
which was complete a few years ago by an independent Ireland, with the Irish
Land Commission closed down for good. Job done.


Cue station jingle tape no. 23.......

..... or to put it another way, "Do you want the five minute argument,
or the full half hour?"

If any of the other listed newsgroups would like to borrow uk.d-i-y's
resident troll, I am sure that he would be pleased to oblige.
However, he's likely to want to discuss heat banks in uk.legal and
buying two cheap tools as an alternate to one good one in
uk.gov.local.
