I can think of very few important rights that were fought for and won in this country entirely through legal action. We've become far too docile and compliant as a nation.

Worth remembering that landowners don't have a god-give right to their land. It wasn't handed down from on high. Most of it was enclosed and stolen from the peasants. Then the peasants were shipped off to cities courtesy of industrialisation and rural mechanisation, then lost their jobs with the decline of empire and Britain's manufacturing industries, and finally got demonised for being work-shy dole scum.

The land is ours. It was forcefully taken from us.
