The Land Lobby

There is so much money in land that landowners as a group can afford to employ the cleverest and most devious city PR people to spin a narrative that reflects well on them. It persuades a few. It should not persuade the majority.
The one thing that ordinary people should try to understand is that the establishment exists as it is because it tells lies. Call it spin, call it dissimulation, call it what you like but everyone who has a power niche that privileges them against the majority protects their privileged position by deception.

A brief look at the Countryside Alliance website should be enough to convince anyone who hates manipulation and spin that we should make our own minds up. There is an enormous amount of wealth being channelled into this PR lobby.
