Britainās Land Laws give unprecedented power to landowners, allowing them to fleece occupiers who are leaseholders. Banning new leaseholders flats gives ZERO relief to the 5m+ occupiers of these flats today. Say āNoā to a two-tier housing market. theguardian.com/commentisfree/ā¦


The āGround Rentā that leaseholders are forced to pay has its roots in medieval England where serfs grew crops on lands owned by nobility and sold them. Leaseholders extract zero from Freeholdersā land rights. The Labour Party out scrap this legal exploitation NOW! Enough dithering.


Believe it or not, Council-owned buildings occupied by leaseholders can legally charge occupiers for parking fines incurred by staff. Same is true at for-profit owned residential towers. Laws must be scrapped now! ā¦Free Leaseholdersā© archive.ph/2025.03.29-103ā¦



Donald Trump is displaying a very dangerous level of personal vindictiveness previously unimaginable in a US president. The Retribution Is Here politicalwire.com/2025/04/10/the⦠via Taegan Goddard



Centuries of Land Law, wildly favouring those who own it over those who occupy or use it, are challenged by this 2024 Act. No wonder deep-pocketed land owners are challenging it in court. Too bad Free Leaseholders canāt have their say.
