The archbishop of Canterbury has said: \u201cIt\u2019s time for a radical look at what enables people to live in communities, to build relationships.\u201d In particular, it is time for the fair sharing of all the land in the UK for the common good.Rev Paul NicolsonTaxpayers Against Poverty Continue reading…
