100 years ago the government was buying back British owned land to give to the people through the Land Acts, we went from only 3% of irish farmers owning land in 1870 to 97% in 1929. Now, a THIRD of all houses bought in 2020 were bought by international real estate investors

Please be taking notes at how easily colleges and workplaces transferred to working from home. Disabled people, single parents, carers etc have always been told that remote work/learning is completely impossible. Think about why 1/3 disabled people drop out of education early.
