70% of the land in Britain is owned by less than 1% of the population.

Strictly speaking the Crown still owns all English land, though in practice it directly controls ‘only’ around 1.4 percent of it. The Church of England owns 0.5 percent, but is oddly vague about the much larger areas it sold off. The headline revelation is that less than one percent of the population literally owns half the country.
