[GJM] Who owns the World?

[robert searle]

Dear All,

        On TalkSport I happened to hear a somewhat
short interview with Kevin Cahill who has research,
and published material concerning who owns the world.
Incredible as it seems Queen Elizabeth II owns most of
it (including the former colonies ofcourse!!)This is
due to a legal arrangement, and appears in what is
called The Land Registry Act which is "medieval" in
character, and originates from that time. Apparently,
there was an attempt to "repeal" it in 1875 but later
in 1925 it was put back on the statute book without
any real consultation with Parliament.

When people "own" property "freehold"in England, and
in the former colonies presumably they do so only as
TENANTS to the Crown!! Most people know next to
nothing about this! The danger of this (in theory)is
that Her Majestys Government can take away any
property from anyone without  much (if any) legal
redress.

Indeed, one caller to TalkSport claimed that they had
a compulsory purchase order which they took to the
European Court of Human Rights. However, it is
expensive to do this. 

It must be remembered too that the UK has no written
constitution, and people are seen as "subjects" (or
"serfs" to the Crown!!)as opposed to "citizens".
