A worthy follow up to Who Owns England, Shrubsole takes is through the fallacy of landowners being benevolent custodians of the land, doing what’s right for it. 

Instead Shrubsole shows us how landowners damage, burn, poison and exploit the land they claim to care for, and how politicians and policy have let it get this way. 

But not to be completely out of hope, Shrubsole also introduces us to people who take caring for the land into their own hands, ownership be damned. 

This will be incredibly eye opening to a lot of people who don’t exist in a similar social media ecosystem so myself, where a lot of this is shared and discussed openly. I did still learn a lot from it though, and will no doubt want to reread (or listen) to this again in the future. It will definitely be added to my must read list for anyone who cares for the more political side of how land ownership needs overhauling. 

Guy Shrubsole is a rock star 🤘🏻
